"I ascribe to what's called the "1 in 10 rule".
For every 10 kenshi who start kendo/kumdo, only 1 is left after a year."

Sounds about right to me.

Read somewhere that the ratio in other martial arts ( I think based on a study done in the US) was for every 300 people who start an art, only one makes it to first dan.

I wonder what the ratio is for kendo?
