Honoring Experience, Scholarship, and Unwavering Commitment in the Martial Arts World."
The degree requirements at the International University of Higher Martial Arts Education (IUHMAE) are designed to reflect the institution's commitment to recognizing excellence, experience, and scholarly achievement in the martial arts. Candidates seeking a Doctorate degree must demonstrate a significant and documented history of dedication to martial arts, typically spanning decades of practice, instruction, and contribution to the field. The evaluation process includes a thorough review of the candidate's life experience, achievements, and contributions, as well as the completion of a comprehensive dissertation or project that reflects a deep understanding of martial arts theory, history, philosophy, or a related subject. Additionally, candidates must pass a rigorous examination process, both practical and theoretical, to ensure they meet the high standards set by IUHMAE. The degree requirements are not only a testament to the individual's mastery of martial arts but also their ongoing commitment to personal and professional development within the discipline.
