During this event, we would like to highlight the diversity of work relating to martial arts. This will be an opportunity to build bridges between the different disciplines and connect Taiwanese and foreign researchers who work around this multi-faceted subject.

We will be asking the following question: What place does Taiwanese martial arts occupy today both within the country and internationally?
