Why is Judo so inexpensive relative to BJJ?

I%26#039;ve never paid much at all for Judo but BJJ prices are very expensive. Why is there such a difference in pricing between two similar arts?|||Supply vs. Demand.





Judo has been around a lot longer, there are far more competent and ranked Judo instructors then there are BJJ instructors.





So less instructors, high demand, high prices.





Trust me, I find it ridiculous. There is a place here in town where the dojo is literally about 20 feet by 20 feet, just a tad bigger than a damn broom closet or a bedroom, and they charge 120 dollars a month for BJJ.





Sadly there are plenty of people who will pay it.





BJJ is the %26quot;In%26quot; art right now, and the instructors are in high demand, and there aren%26#039;t a lot of them. They can afford to charge more.





Sadly I have also seen TKD schools and Karate McDojos that actually charge more than that, but at least they have major facilities to try to keep up.





GodKing:





1. Fedor (Beat Minotauro)


2. Yoshida (choked out Royce)


3. Kimura (broke Helios arm and choked him out unconscious)


4. Igor Zinoviev (Samboist, and Judoka beat Mario Sperry)


5. Yamashita (one of the best Judokas of all time, more Olympic medal wins, and International Championships in Judo then anyone you listed on your list has in BJJ.|||Unfortunately, you have to look at both styles as products. The BJJ product is %26quot;hot%26quot; right now, all over the media, interchangeable with MMA, and only a handful of instructors in the U.S., in certain big metro areas teach it. And it is from Brazil, which to the American market is %26quot;sexy and exotic:





Judo, is pretty old, synonmous with plenty of jokes (Austin Powers %26quot;judo chop!%26quot;), plenty of instructors, only time you see a Judo match on TV is when the Olympics come around (every 4 years).|||Because 90% of Judo instructors don%26#039;t teach Judo for the money, they teach it to promote the art. My sensei, a 6th degree Blackbelt, volunteers as head intructor at Industry Sheriff Judo. Most schools only charge enough money to cover the costs of operating the school and make the student pay for things like national organization memberships.|||It depends on the instructors, the more experience the more it costs. yeah supply and demand also plays a roll in it. its the new it thing out there.|||THREE REASONS: ROYCE GRACIE,ANTONIO RODRIGO MINAUTAURO NOGEIRA AND THE ZEN MASTER MARIO SPERRY. U NAME ANY JUDO GUYS THAT CAN TOP MY LIST????|||i notice that too here in texas. from what i can tell the judo instructors are non-profit many of them here teach out of a rec center or schools so they just charge enough to keep everything running(rent, equipment, etc...). many bjj instructors are making some sort of salary off the teaching(dont get me wrong im not saying they are %26quot;in it for the money%26quot;) but they arent just making enough to run their schools|||Cause more people know Judo than BJJ.! And BJJ instructors think that they are all that compared to others.! As long as there are kids with dad%26#039;s money, they will charge up the ***.!
