Do you have to be certified to teach or coach MMA training in a gym

Hi Barbara,
that depends on the policies of the gym. He may not be certified in MMA but he may have other credentials.
I teach some classes at a gym where all instructors MUST have a group ex certification. I also know that some of them teach specialties for which they do not have the specialty certification.
If that person teaches as an independent contractor, though, then he must carry professional liability insurance which requires a certification (even though not necessarily MMA).
