Demographics for martial arts

[miguksaram]

Does anyone know where I can find demographics on martial arts, such as average age of participants, average household income, typical profiles of a participant (white, black, chinese....), etc?

 

Thanks.

Sorry, I don't know. My only suggestion is to try searching on google.

Most of what I found on Google, dealt in general sports and most of the reports have a starting cost of about $200.00 USD. Unfortunately that doesn't garuntee me the informaiton I am seeking.

You might try contacting a few federations and organizations and see if they have any information. If not, who knows...you might spark a new interest for them and the research can be created. Be aware that any demographic information you may find is probably not going to be very complete. With so many independent schools, it's an enormous task to collect enough information to procure credible results.

 

Good luck!

I agree. I know it is not an easy task. I will be starting one based on those who attended our AKA Grands this year. I am trying to seek out sponsors for the tournament next year and this is a crucial part of getting that done. I was hoping to take the studies that I produce and compare them to other studies out there and see how they compare and contrast.
