So having aspergers means you have a focused attention on a specific topic. Was wondering if any aspies on here had jobs in the martial arts world? I for one love kung fu have even taught a couple of classes but that was more of a group of friends were interested but it wasn't a "job" as in i didn't get paid for it and it isn't a full time thing. What are your guy's experiences with jobs in the martial arts world?



thanks

I've taught off and on just for the fun of it -- Random weirdness I don't understand fully: I've offered to teach for free, get less turnout than when I charge absurd amounts.

Anyway, don't think I'd be willing to make a job of it -- Unreliable, and I'm getting older-ish and my body doesn't hold up too well, anymore. Started with Hapkido around 8 years old, went from there into Chuan Fah/Kenpo, from there into Muay Thai, off into Brazilian JJ, then ended up on Filipino MA which became and remains my fave. Not so much the stabbing things aspect as Panantukan.

my sister' sold roommate is an aspie and he teaches many things, including martial arts.
He has been doing it awhile and seems to really enjoy it.
