    What credentials do I need to teach a martial art?

    General rule of thumb is that if you need to ask then you shouldn't teach. But there is no real requirement unless you are going to join an organization. Then the organization will have its own requirements you must meet. Insurance is for a business and for a simple club I don't think it's...

    Are UFC fights scripted?

    Why do so many people buy into Americanized Martial Arts?

    Actually I think spirituality is more of the americanized thing to do. Pre-WW II era asia didn't bother with all spiritual stuff, and it was more about learning to fight.

    Will Karate or Tae kwon do affect growth?

    I believe there's a belief that TKD will help you grow taller, like there is belief that basketball would. but I really think these are tall tales. just don't work out too much to get buff and you should be fine. (your dad might have been effected by Judo that needs to throw human weight around.)
