Does anyone have an idea...

For the number of MA practitioners World Wide? I'm writing a paper and need some data. Or if anyone know's where can I find this information Thanks

 

[Pyongwon]

Generally speaking or specifically

speaking? TKD - over 5 or 6 million world wide. Judo - must be more. Good luck with the paper! Jes

 

[washburn]

Generally from all disciplines

thanks for the quick response jes David

 

[Pyongwon]

Um... let's say like 15 million

participants throughout the world engage in martial arts. Fair enough? Good luck with the project - and anytime! Jess.

How did you get to 15 million?

if you said TKD has 5-6 million, and Judo probably more, that leaves less than 4 million for the rest of the martial arts according to this figure. How about Karate, Aikido, Various Kung Fu, Don't they enjoy world wide popularit as well? Do you consider boxing a martial art?

For my style

Kyokushin Karate over 12 million worldwide,and growing every day. It would be near impossible to set even a ballpark figure. My guess,around 30 million.​

There are one million participants, and it's only in China.
