This section explores how martial arts train, discipline, and sometimes weaponize the body—not to glorify violence, but to understand how embodied ritual can transform pain into purpose.

Through workshops, writings, and multimedia documentation, Martial Medicine investigates how movement embodies health, strength, and defense, and how martial discipline becomes a language for healing, protection, and community identity.
