So I was wondering if you could make money off tournaments for martial arts and, how much? I don't mean tournaments for forms and, stuff but, actual hand to hand , person against person. Also what are the average prize amounts for 1st, 2nd and, 3rd?
Answer
You could make some money at one time on the NASKA national circuit but those days have been gone now for some time. Back in the late 80s and early 90s when I first started competing on the national circuit you could win a few hundred dollars for winning your division in the adult black belt divisions in forms, weapons, and fighting. Then you would compete against other adult black belt division winners for grand champion and that would carry several hundred dollars if you won that. Sometimes this got up into a thousand dollars or more and they started having some larger purses of $2,500-3,000 for grand. Big corporate sponsorship helped by contributing money for this and one such company was Trans World Oil. Those first few years I did not win so much though because I was just starting out competing at that level but in the 90s I was winning several hundred dollars some weekends and competing for grand a number of times since I competed in all three things before the money dropped out.
Then in 93 all the national tournament directors in NASKA decided that they would stop offering big money and Trans World Oil pulled out. When that happened the money dropped to little or nothing for winning your division and only a few or several hundred for grand. Many of us still continued to compete for the love of competing though and testing and matching our skills against others who also competed. At the same time many of us black belts also had our own schools so any expenses for all this were tax deductible and I would rack up $4-$5 K per year in expenses for competing on the national circuit. That was what I did rather than have a boat or motorcycle or hunt and fish like some guys I knew did.
These days there is very little money in it unless you can nail down a number one place in one of those areas of competition and maybe get a promotional and advertising contract from an equipment company like Century.
For the tournament type format to work for something like full contact, or MMA the State Athletic Commissions would have to change or relax their regulations. Currently those regulations limit how many times you can fight, how many rounds, and when you can fight again if you are knocked unconscious. A tournament type format will only work if the rounds are limited to three or less, it is at the amateur level (which means no prize money is offered), and it runs the course of several days like what you have with amateur boxing and the national championships or the Gold Gloves. This is why you don't see the tournament type format used in this country for things like Muay Thai, MMA, and full contact K-1 type fighting like you might see in other countries at the professional level.
In those countries you can make some money but you are also fighting and competing against some of the best in the world usually and there can only be one winner.

Answer
Sure - you could paint a portrait or abstract with it on a canvas or even a leather jacket then spray with a seal coat of clear varnish. Good Luck!
