Good question...can't count exactly but I'm sure there are more males than females in my dojo. I can only talk about the intermediates (4th kyu green to 1st kyu brown) because the whites, yellows and oranges train at a separate time.

In my class there are some four girls including me and some seven or eight guys. (These are the regulars. There would be more guys if some of the ones who've seemed to have left/taken a break came back.) My chief instructor is male (8th dan) and I have two other instructors, one a male sandan and the other a female nidan.

Around 1/3 female, although this is not representative of the system as a whole which is more like 10 or 15% female with the top ranks being held by men. This class has more women, I think, because one of the senseis is female.

I do karate. In the adult class it's probably 50:50 overall. Of the black belts 5 males and 3 females. Kids 50:50 but more of the higher ranks are guys.

70% male to 30% women over all for the school. How many show up to each class I go varies. I have been there when it was half and half and gone when no women show up and any where in between. The day classes that I have gone to however is mostly women which is nice as you can then train with the Instructor one on one for partnering drills.

In our Karate class there are about 15 - 20 males and 1 female. (average class size about 6-10)
In the kickboxing class there are about 12 males and 2 females.

I always thought that our dojo was really small and hardly had any members, but it seems that it is about average size from what I have read.

I can't find this info in past threads (apologies if it has been asked before).

I understand that MA appeals to few females, and certain arts seem to have a higher male:female ratio. Would interested folks please post the adult gender ratio in their dojos, and the art? (Not kid classes, or adults that take private lessons only.)

Thank you.




1 girl that is regular(a hottie too:D) and about 20 regular guys
