Martial Arts Research

UCLA Martial Arts is consistently involved with some cutting edge neuroscientific research. In conjunction with Dr. Bob Bilder (Director of the Tennenbaum Center for the Biology of Creativity), Dr. O'Shea (Professor with World Arts & Cultures) and Paul McCarthy (Director of the UCLA Martial Arts Program) we have studied the effect of specific martial arts techniques, drills and progressions on cognitive function.
