Being a mentor has been a throughly rewarding experience for me. It takes time and commitment to help guide someone in the right direction and get them to focus. As a martial arts school owner or instructor, it’s important to realise that in addition to training students in the art of self defence, in many instances those enrolled in classes look to you for guidance.

Serving as a source of inspiration or positive influence for someone is a way to strengthen the reputation of a martial arts school. By ensuring that everyone taking classes receives the individual attention that he or she is looking for, they will be more likely to tell others within their circles about their experience which can attract more students to sign up for training.

In this way you build a community of mutual trust and respect.

The commitment to seeing your success

I am determined to help others reach their goals within Krav Maga, Martial Arts and self defence instruction. 


​In addition to the prospect of turning a profit, many martial arts school owners decide to open facilities to see students become more self-confident meet personal goals. This kind of attitude should also translate to a mentor and mentee relationship. The success of another also reflects on the person who helped an individual realize his or her dreams.

Setting expectations

In many mentor and mentee relationship, the latter will unintentionally place high demands on the time of the former. If the person offering guidance also happens to be the owner of the school, the American Psychological Association suggests clearly communicating to a student the most opportune time to make contact should they need help with something. This will set clear boundaries and help make the relationship beneficial to both parties.

Keeping in touch

Being proactive and checking on the well-being of my mentee is a crucial element of what I do. Even a quick video call, email or text message to a client is a great way to develop trust and encourage open dialogue and communication. Although I never really understood the background, I always just send the messages because I care about my clients and what them to feel they are supported and cared for.

Active listening

In a number of my client mentees, I've noticed that some just need a mentor to listen to their concerns and talk though the options for confidence building. It's not easy to talk to just anyone. Having an experienced professional who really listens is of huge benefit. Many people today don’t listen for clarity; they do so to offer a rebuttal although they don't fully understand the situation. Being an active listener requires a lot of energy and focus. It’s very easy for one’s mind to wander off during a conversation, and this can put a strain on any relationship. So it is best to have a mentor who is someone separate from your life to focus these instructor and club concerns on,
