The reason? It takes a lot of patience, practice, and knowledge to excel at BJJ, and you won't be able to teach BJJ to the mainstream "wannabe" fighters. It's simply to complex.

I think it could get as mainstream as karate maybe not along the same lines as Grandmaster Helio Gracie training some skinny white kid in "the juijitsu kid" but you're right about it being popular for a reason. Juijitsu is a martial art that truly anyone can participate in which attracts more and more people to participate. Its a sport that is also very mental and requires stratedgy, and I can participate in juijitsu knowing I don't have as large of a chance as getting stitches in my head after matches like muay thai and regular kickboxing.
