The term "Martial Art" is a general heading that includes a vast number of different systems and methods of unarmed combat around the world. There are no published records that collectively represent every student in any one system, let alone in all Martial Art systems worldwide.
I did a lengthy study in this in order to attain a Small Business loan. My estimate was that Martial Arts actually makes up 23% of all Sports Industries. It has an influence of 12% in all American based entertainment, and I could tell from a lengthy poll that statically speaking a good 38% claim to be Martial Artist and almost 66%said they had taken a Martial arts class once in their life. these are staggering numbers and it is on the rise. Since 1992 and 2012 there was a 14% rise in the Sports Industries and a 10% rise in the Entertainment industry. I had no poll on actual percentage, but estimates from talks I have had with other major leaders in Martial Arts is it has risen about 30% in that 20 year gap for those professing to be Martial Artist.
Many phenomenon from MMA to shows like Human Weapon, Fight Science, and the increase in Survivalist training and anti-victimization groups can take a large chunk of the merit for such increase and we can never discount influences such as Bruce lee, Jet Li, Jacky Chan, Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Randy Couture, Gracies Family, and the rest.
The total number would be very difficult to estimate. And the number of active practitioners is going to be different then the total that have ever studied a martial art. And how many classes would be required to say yes to the question?
You couldn't count but a lot do. I have twelve people in my town that train martial arts, i would estimate around maybe 1,500 maybe more nut I'm not sure.
