Um may I call a semantic time out? Maybe I'm out of line....but I think what William H means, to parse it out, is that 95% of physical conflicts start with a punch, therefore of course punching is addressed in his syllabus. Demetrio, are you reading it as 95% of his syllabus addresses it?

I'm reading 95% of physical conflicts start with
a series of punches and Ueshiba syllabus adresses this circumstance.
So I wonder:
(a) where is founder's syllabus? As far as I know he didn't developed one. The most similar thing to a syllabus/curriculum is in Budo Renshuu and in Budo; both pre WW2 and where few techniques deal with punches.
(b) where is the data/statistics regarding this
95% of physical conflicts start with a series of punches statement? Looks as fishy as the debunked "
90% of fights go to the ground" Gracie family mantra.
I hope William can clarify.
