how do I put my athletic involvement in karate on the common app activities portion?

I've done karate for about 10 years now, and I got my black belt and am an assistant teacher. But I don't really know how to write all that in the activities portion. Does anyone have any tips on making it sound concise and clear?

I would put it down like so:

Activity title: Assistant karate teacher

Activity description: Lead and plan karate lessons for all ages. Earned black belt after 10 years of karate practice.

Hope this helps!
