Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, all initiatives were held in hybrid form as the previous year. Four martial arts instructors from four countries participated in this year?s programme, working on two tasks. First, youth programmes in martial arts in each country were reviewed based on the Youth Development through Martial Arts: An Evaluation Framework for Youth Activities, a joint study with UNESCO Bangkok in 2019, and discussion was held on standards for systematic and effective programmes. The reviews led to the development of the ?Martial Arts Instruction Plan for Youth Character-Building? for use in the field in the corresponding countries. Participants also shared their experiences and opinions on difficulties in teaching martial arts and directions for progress. The participants presented a developed instruction plan on November 15, 2022, to the International Martial Arts Academic Seminar. 5th Martial Arts Research Initiative for Experts (MARIE) This year?s seminar, under the theme ?Youth Development through Martial Arts,? was jointly hosted by the ICM and Universiti Teknologi MARA (Mara Technological University, UiTM) of Malaysia. This academic partnership was formed last year with UiTM through joint in-depth research into martial arts. This year?s seminar discussed the latest academic theories on the impact of martial arts on the physical and mental health of youth and related real-world youth programmes worldwide. The seminar was held alongside the awards ceremony for the UNESCO ICM Martial Arts Education Prize, inviting the 2022 winners as well as those from 2021 whose ceremony was online due to COVID-19. The final session had the four participants of the 5th Martial Arts Research Initiative for Experts each share their experiences in martial arts education and present methods of using martial arts as a character-building tool. 2022 International Martial Arts Academic Seminars Programme Overview in Numbers The number of participating countries(Bangladesh, China, Korea, Mauritius) 4 The number of participants(as of accumulated since 2022) 29 Programme Overview in Numbers The number of participants 100 (from 10 countries) The number of speakers / presenters 18 Programme book for 2022 International Martial Arts Academic Seminar Final Report for 2022 MARIE Research and knowledge sharing
