Questions for instructors of martial arts teaching at colleges/universities as well as those who work in dojos nearby:
What percentage roughly of your students continue on for more martial arts classes beyond the first quarter/semester? What percentage of them then transition to a regular dojo/dojang/studio [off campus] for continued study after leaving or graduating from college/university?
The reason I'm asking is that I had a discussion with another martial artist who has the opinion that students starting out in a regular dojo/dojang/studio stay in their arts longer than a student who started with a college class taking martial arts "for fun" or "physical education credit" before switching over to a dojo outside of college/university.
He thinks the retention rate is roughly 2%-10% starting in college and 48%-52% starting in a regular studio.
Opinions and observations?
