Phil Duncan asked:
I am seeking to determine the trend of confirmed martial arts participation. Is the overall number of practitioners increasing or decreasing?
I am seeking to identify a 7 year trend in the quantity of people practicing martial arts. Has the quantity increased or decreased. I am not interested in speculative answers, rather quantifiable, verifiable data. (For example, one method for identifying a small portion of nationwide practitioners would be to aggregate the the total quantity of student-clients of all known martial arts tution billing companies. The trend among this subset of practitioners would probably be indicative of the overall trend.)

I am not interested in speculative answers, rather quantifiable, verifiable data about how many people are paying for training. (For example, one method for identifying a small portion of nationwide practitioners would be to aggregate the the total quantity of student-clients of all known martial arts tution billing companies. The trend among this subset of practitioners would probably be indicative of the overall trend in the number of practitioners.)
I am interested in U.S. statistics.
Captain Boz provided a very good answer with data I am seeking. (Thanks!) Ideally, I would also like to cite some third party data such as the number of tuition billing company clients active during each of the past 7 years.
