Speaking as a 10 year Judo veteran...
The biggest factors you have to think about is whether or not you have to pay rent and if you have to buy equipment like mats.
Mats can put you out anywhere from $100-$200 per mat.
Average dues for a Judo club are anywhere between $50-$110 per month.
For new dojos...
Average class size for children is about 13.
Average class size for adults(+13) is about 7.
Generally you'll need about 30 students to even your profit/loss.

Very few respectable Judo or Aikido sensei make their living solely by teaching their martial art. The vast majority have "day jobs" that pay their personal bills and living expenses. Unless they're operating a McDojo, the bulk of their students' dues collected go to paying rent, utilities and supplies for the dojo, as well as for sports insurance due to the inherently dangerous nature of the martial arts.
Most Judo and Aikido instructors are not in it for the money...but because they are devoted to the Martial Way.

Most will have to run a successful martial arts school to make any money.
Some of the Judo guys have done well in professional mixed martial arts. Yoshida has had moderate success. He probably makes a decent living definitely better than an instructor / owner of a martial arts club.
