There is nothing inherently evil in learning the Martial Arts. Kickboxing is a very severe style of MA training. Most kickboxers have very short careers and are finished competing by the time they in their early to mid 20’s.
To be an instructor you first need to learn the style. Then it would be good to have some matches, amateur level to see if you still like it. If you do well, you might be able to have a pro career, then you can begin to teach.
Students of kickboxing will want to know how well you can compete, although there is a difference between a great competitor and a great instructor. Some champions can’t teach to save their life.
The morality of the Martial Arts is often debated. Kickboxing is a sport, like boxing or wrestling. There is usually no religious par to it, at least in the USA. In Thailand you might get a bit of religion, but it is a sport there as well and you don’t need to be a part of any religious overtones if you don’t wish to.
By the way, I have taught Judo for 40 plus years so I have some knowledge of MA.
