it depends on the age. in our club, the kids class does a lot more fighting than the senior class. Maturity, i guess... but i wouldnt know about that.

Hey, if the precentage is really that high, why don't the tv company ever show it? I think it might be lower.






I might be wrong.

I would have thought it would only be about 10%

Hardly any of my friends I don't know through my class are into MA...or maybe I've misunderstood the question.

30% or less like martial arts and 70% don't care or hate it.

The fact is that if you look around people are more interested in sports than martial arts.
How many people watch judo, karate do or taekwon do for the olympics compare to other sports?
Participating in martial arts is hard it's not like taking your dog for a walk or something.
