Martial arts schools tend to build loyal communities of students and parents, and that shows up in their Google reviews. The typical school has far more than the typical business, though the spread inside the industry is wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The measure here is the total number of Google reviews on a business’s Google Business Profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These figures are aggregated from Google Business Profiles connected to Diib, with review counts as of late October 2026. The industry group is small, so treat the exact ratio as a rough guide. The data doesn’t show how long each school has been open, how many students it has, or whether it asks for reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What it does show is a big gap within the industry. A parent comparing schools nearby may see one with a handful of reviews next to one with well over a hundred, both rated close to five stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The typical martial arts school in Diib’s data has 75 Google reviews, three times the typical business. But a quarter of schools have 9 or fewer, so the gap within the industry is wide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"insight_format":"Data point","insight_takeaway":"If you run a martial arts school, your students are likely to leave strong reviews, but whether they do depends a lot on the school.
