Same here. The traditional ways that instructors make their money is a. Charge for gradings b. Charge for competition entry c. Charge for joining parent association d. Charge for uniforms e. Teach lots of children
As I do none of these things its harder to make enough to give up my full time job. Ahhhh one day I'll retire in the sunshine and let my students pay for my luxury lifestyle - ha ha ha

I make $20 a semester teaching fencing here at UH. I generally don't take a check all year and use my coaches discount to get a new sword at year's end. Labor of love is an understatement.
