Are you in karate? What i mean is japanese martial arts. If so, please do not intend to break the rules. Being a teacher is not easy and does not please the elders. A black belt can be called a teacher once he is in the 3rd Dan. It would also be much better if you already have a good record specially in kumitee. A brown belt could only assist the teacher and not become a teacher. This is the reason why people think that karate is not that hard and not that kinda good martial art. Its because karate rules mostly have not been applied. If you could only see how true fighter acts and pays respect, you will surely amaze and shock of their performance. This guys im referring to are the japanese martial artist. So train hard first before go on to teaching. Its a shame to have teacher who lacks training.

i just got back into karate after a 13 year break i am also a brown belt and would like to teach, when i 1st started i was taught by a brown belt who had a black instuctors belt although differernt syles may have different rules i feel as long as you know the basics well you can teach the lower grades, talk to your instuctor and good luck.

I suggest that if you are still attending classes that you need to speak with your instructor. Normally, they will have helpers with the classes that they may allow to teach the courses. I think that you need to be a black belt before you can teach Karate. I don't study Karate, so I may be wrong.

i think that you can help out at the class your at now,but not sure if you can setup your own until you are at least a black belt,this is something you should be asking your teacher.

I think it would be a good idea for you to continue with your training and also speak with your instructor as others here have suggested. It should be possible for you to help with the instruction at the dojo with the younger/less experienced students. You should speak with your instructor about this. Keep up your hard work in Karate.
