3rd International Martial Arts Studies Conference

Conference Handbook

11-13 July 2017, Cardiff University (UK).

Both previous Martial Arts Studies Conferences, in 2015 and 2016, brought together over eighty academics, PhD students, scholars and researchers, from a very wide range of fields and from all over the world, for two and a half days of keynotes, special sessions, workshops and socialising. Many new relationships were formed and new collaborations initiated.

These events demonstrated that the future is bright for Martial Arts Studies. The third conference, held in July 2017, built on these strong foundations and brought more martial arts studies scholars and additional disciplinary perspectives together for dialogue and debate.
