I%26#039;m 15 and quite talented in martial arts (I have my 6th dan). It%26#039;s my true passion, but I%26#039;m trying to figure out if it%26#039;s a good career to get into. Is there many options? Are there any other options besides opening a dojo/school? Questions like that. Any comments/questions/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.|||First things first, what martial art gives a 6th dan ranking to a 15 year old? Second, how often do you spar and how much do your opponents resist? How much do you compete?
If your answer is: %26quot;We don%26#039;t spar%26quot; and %26quot;We don%26#039;t compete%26quot; - then you%26#039;re living in McDojo land. %26#039;Talented%26#039; in martial arts generally means that you%26#039;re keeping up with people that have been doing it for years in a relatively short period of time (see: BJ Penn in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu).
As for martial arts and making a living...unless you%26#039;re a top 10 fighter, no, the pay is generally not so great once you decide to just teach. McDojo%26#039;s tend to make even less.|||6th dan at 15 wow you must be a really great fighter.
easy , go into the UFC
they pay well for the guys at the top, and if you have your 6th black belt at 15 you should be amazing...
|||Not really. It%26#039;s not like one of the top 10 professions on the job market. Other than owning a dojo or being an instructor, you can maybe be a stunt man or double for films.
