Martial Arts (Masters Degree)
The IVA Institute is an institution of higher learning and proud to offer a Bachelor's Degree, Masters degree and Doctorate Degree in Martial Arts Studies. While martial arts studies at the University level has long been a part of academic life in Asia, IVA’s program is unique in that it combines a wide range of liberal arts courses with martial arts practice. The program offered explores four aspects of the martial arts:
-
Historical background and philosophical roots of the martial arts.
-
Languages and cultures of the societies in which the martial arts originated and developed.
-
In-depth study of at least one of the martial arts.
-
Psychosocial dimensions of the martial arts and their impact upon personality and society.
It has long been argued that through study of the martial arts people develop a measurable sense of accomplishment and a mastery of mind over body, contributing to greater self-esteem. Through the teacher-student relationship the martial arts student embarks on a voyage of self-discovery and learns the importance of respect and regard for others.
