Awesome!  In this situation I'd recommend signing up for classes at your local martial arts school, rather than creating your own curriculum.

What schooling or instruction have you had in this regard?

OK, so you’re already pretty good at martial arts!  Why do you want to teach middle schoolers?
assistant
I want to teach self defense

I think that's a great idea!  A good start to teaching self defense would be to learn more about the technique and strategies you already have.   If you have a specific goal in mind, you should probably also spend time looking at the particular styles and tactics of others.

What age do you mean by “middle school”?  You could also teach self defense classes to adults, if you don’t want to work with young students.
