Looking at the trainers ive had, i think you need ot first off have a passion. you need discipline and good structure to your class and good info/ techniques. teaching in a gym is a lot like teaching in a class imo. eddie for example is an amazing teacher. he is incredibly good at jiu jitsu and as far as i can tell he loves doing it. he has control over his classes and he shows the techniques in a controlled way, first presenting what to do then getting controlled practice and then free sparring to get the students to use it in full speed. a lot of the other trainers ive had do it similar to that. present practice performance.
what ive really found good for people is when they stick with one position for a longer amount of time. we had roughly a week on one set of moves in Hamburg, and magnus from sweden has been saying they do things like back mount for 6 weeks and atm half guard for 4 weeks etc. doing one thing for that long is amazing and its really when u start seeing improvement.
and be adaptable.
