It really varies based upon rank, knowledge, specialty, and whether or not you own a school, an MMA type facility, or give private lessons.

Also, whether or not you've been published and become shihan [ professor] along with the above listed, or if you have dojo franchises run by your top black belts using your name to draw students. For example jhoon rhee jung park and jung ho jun owned/operated many dojangs in the Tampa, Florida area that were big schools, and had many students.

An average black belt teaching at a community center somewhere could expect maybe $10-15 hourly. A high raking master ~ 6th-10th Dan ~ with a well-known reputation, could do private lessons or seminars for up to $100 an hour. If that Master does movies, endorsements or trains successful MMA fighter or national and world champions, has unlimited earning potential.

Find what part of the above that you can do well, and expand as you grow in knowledge, rank, reputation and experience.

Quite honestly though, most people do not want to train in hardcore traditional Martial Arts. They would rather have a TKD class run like aerobics, where everyone just has fun and they most likely won't ever fail a belt test!

Don't think of traditional martial arts as money, think of it as knowledge. The more you have, the more potential you have.

And running a school is no guarantee of making any money. There is rent, overhead, advertising and insurance that has to be done. Very few people actually try to make a living with martial arts, most have other jobs.
