Where do you guys see the market for BJJ is headed? It seems like my area is becoming saturated with BJJ schools, many opened by big names or affiliates. Now it seems like BJJ black belts are pretty common, so where does that leave all the new black belts?
The reason I ask is because I'd like to know if it's a reasonable expectation for me to train in BJJ and earn a black belt, and not have to move to the boonies just to open a school. Assume I can earn a black belt but not be a big name competitor. I'm not looking to make a lot of money doing this - just enough to cover my expenses.
I'm a Judo black belt but Judo tends to be low priced and not as popular.
I'm also in California where there are a ton of BJJ schools.
