I am thinking of filling in time slots that are openwith Judo.. The instructor is a high level judo black belt.. I wanted ask some of you that have academies or know of someone that has brought in other programs and what seems to be the norm for starting them out for instance payment etc( percentages?).. I think he may not be able to pay half rent etc.. So do i get rent from memberships??? 
Man, you don't need to bring in no fancy, high-level Judo black belt.
Trust me.
--Just watch a few Judo clips on Youtube and teach it. That's what I do! I drop in a few words like "newaza" and "osaikomi" or whatever it's called --and my students can't even tell the difference.
Idiots.
;) awesome i love following your posts.. Your good stuff shen!!!
Get ready for an increase in injuries. The reason I say it is because you won't have experienced guys sparring
Many Judo guys come in cheap(1-5dollars/student or set rate per class).
If you can set up class times that are not matching times for local clubs see if he can bring in some guys from the local clubs to train with your guys. Worry about memberships latter and just get your guys comfortable with Judo. I have seen this attitude work well with a few places now.
Shen's right, you too can teach Judo trips.
This video should get you started.

how you going to pay him? from a business point of view.raise your rates ,cut back on promotions?
if you got more money then you know what to do with,then its a great idea
I would always recommend someone who is "BJJ friendly" and open-minded, understanding the differences in posture and rules.
I've rented space from BJJ schools to teach wrestling in a few schools. The agreements varied. Sometimes, the deal was all instructors could come to my class free and I didn't have to pay for the space. Other times, I did have to pay for the space for classes and private lessons. My rent was usually, $10-$15 per class and privates. I charged my own fee for the students.
I would take a percentage of folks that sign up for his classes. You already have your overhead that is somewhat fixed, so anything you had to that is bonus. Let him keep the bulk of it so he can build his own little business within yours. If you strike a good deal, he'll never want to leave but will be motivated to grow his business in your place.
A top notch BJJ school in Chicago-Valco BJJ added RJ Cohen to teach judo about 2 years ago. RJ has a top notch wrestling/judo background. this combination fits in well with BJJ. I would contact Jay Valco and ask him his opinion and how he worked it out. I talked to RJ about 1 year ago and he said he really appreciates/enjoys this opportunity.
from what I have seen, not many bjj people take to judo very well. i think it comes as quite a shock to someone who has been doing bjj, to swithc over and try judo. mostly because of the falling. you go from never really getting slammed, to getting slammed.
that being said, i think its a great idea. I recently picked judo up, and to a certain degree, I find it to be more fun than bjj. however, i think if you do it, you need to introduce your students to it correctly.
for instance, why do you want to bring a judo instructor in? i picked up judo because I am sick of seeing so much guard pulling in tournaments, and should the day come where i want to compete again, i want to slam people on their backs. I think i embraced it becasue i knew that if i wanted to get good at takedowns, i will be getting takendown far more than i will take other people down. as such, you need to start teaching your students breakfalls, asap.
i recently started teaching them more, and front rolls. I think you may be suprised at how many people cannot do a front roll after being in jiujitsu for a few years. the other thing to start working on now, is your students mind set. when i have seen people spar with takedown, who didnt have any judo experience, injuries always came up. most because people dont know how to fall, and also because people dont want to lose, and end up making severe mistakes in order to not fall. so, teaching your students to be cooperative with each other and let the other students win sometimes is very important.
We have a BJJ blue belt who is a judo BB, not sure what level, who teaches occasionally. He gets compensated for his time, everyone enjoys it, however he is a BJJ student first and instructor second I suppose.
Apparently his Judo school closed its doors and he found a new home with us.
I do know that he has competed at collegiate level.
A lot of top bjj players are Judoka including members of the Gracie family. Rickson, Roger, Rolls, Jacare, Saulo, etc. The list is endless. Judo compliments bjj so well. It's not a separate art - it's an extension of it. Wrestling too. We have a wrestling coach and a Judo coach that teach one class each a week strictly to compliment the Jiu Jitsu program.
Back in HS we had judo coaches help with our throws in wrestling.
I train at an academy that has both Judo & BJJ. Some people train both but very few at the same time. The Falls in Judo are just too much to add when training bjj. In terms of what to charge. Make a charge just for Judo ( $150 a month) and add a small charge to existing members who would like to train both Ex. If currently $150 a month BJJ make it $175 for both
Damn no wonder your name is PhatCat! Thats expensive!
If your around Rick Hawn,check him out!He launched a couple of guys today at the Boston Open and Rick hits great throws in mma also.His Judo is nice,sick drop seoi-nage set ups.
My acadamy doesn't have Judo, but does offer Muay Thai and an MMA program other than its Gi and no Gi classes.
We have guys that train only Gi, some that train gi and no gi/MMA, some that only come to train Muay Thai since our coach is a pro fighter and has serveral Muay Thai titles at middle-weight under his belt.
I think adding programs can broaden your student base and filling vacant slots with more training can surely keep your mats filled with students.
We have a very good relationship with our national judo team whos coach is a 4th Dan black belt and bjj purple belt. We are trying to link in judo with bjj as much as possible
