How do I become a BJJ instructor?

Most instructors are purple belt or higher, though requirements vary. Beyond technical skill, you need teaching ability, patience, and business knowledge if opening your own gym. Many instructors assist at their gyms before teaching independently. Certifications exist but are not universally required.
