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.
