Combat Survey

[scobuc1]

Hi,

I'm new to this site so hope I don't cause offence! As a senior university lecturer, I am conducting a widescale academic research project into the martial arts, specifically looking at the motivation and benefits people derive through training. As far as I know, this is the first international survey of its kind.

I would appreciate it if you could spare a few minutes to complete a survey at:

http://www.combatsurvey.com

I am hoping for this site to develop and in turn share findings which should benefit the martial arts community.

Kind regards,

Scott

Done also - I wonder what the objectives of your research are? Like others, I'd be interested to know!

What is your goal of this survey?

[Jagermeister]

I just finished it. I'm guessing you will be comparing the results of MA practicioners against the results of people involved in other excercise-related hobbies. What are you really trying to look at with these surveys?

Hi Scott,

The survey sounds like a good idea. Which University and what department is backing the survey, what do you lecture in?

I also notice that the ethical statment makes no mention regarding commercial/marketing use of the data collected.

I don't personally have any axe to grind with collecting anonymous info for commercial purposes - especially if it helps fund useful work, but it might help you to make the position clear.

Respectfully,

Dan

No selection for being an Engineer?

Apologies for the suspicious tone of the last post - wasn't able to work out who you were, and the website looked pretty slick for a Uni research project. :)

I found you in the Staff Directory of Worcester Uni - Ed dept.

Have filled in the survey

Would be great to know more about the research!
