  • 90-95% of fights end up on the ground!?!?

    I'm constantly hearing people quote similar approximate percentages, or they have an exact percentage of how many fights end up on the ground.

    WHERE DID YOU FIND THE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS THAT GIVES YOU THIS PERCENTAGE!!

    I can say with confidence that yes, fights often end up on the ground. i have been in combat sports and martial arts for twenty years, as well as having done plenty of empirical research on the street (lol). But I haven't done the research myself, and I can't find any group, university, law enforcement agency, etc. that gives this percentage. So please, send me a link or tell me where anyone has done this research.

    And I DON"T want to hear people's opinions that they think support the percentage - only true statistics. I'm betting no one who has used the percentage of fights quote can find anything!
