Martial Arts Studies Association 10th Annual Conference

University of Brighton, Falmer Campus, 22nd-24th July 2026
In this conference we will revisit the core thematic problems that have animated our community’s conversations for the past 11 years, while also posing questions about its future:
- What is purpose of martial arts studies? What, and who, is it for?
- What can martial arts studies do that simply ‘studies of martial arts’ (in other fields or traditions) don’t?
- What should the future direction of the field of martial arts studies be?
- How can our newly founded association support our efforts in these directions?
- How can we work with others – in different academic fields, and outside academia – to do so?
Deadline for all abstract submissions is Friday 9th January 2026
