i think an adult-only school can work in the right location.
in los angeles, for example, there's a krav maga for adults only and they've been around for a while. rickson gracie's school is in that area too and i've only seen adult men in there. my guess is that it works probably because of all the corporate offices nearby and UCLA college campus is nearby as well. if you're trying to open up in a suburb... you'll probably need kids to survive.
if you don't like to teach kids, you can sublease your space and an early timeslot to another teacher who can handle kids. in my school, parents like to sign their kids up for early classes (3 or 4 p.m)..... and adults like later at night (7 p.m.)
good luck
