The purpose of Martial Arts Club at UC Merced is to provide a way for members to not only to learn and practice the Martial Arts, but also to learn more about its historical and cultural aspects as well. In addition, this organization will explore many different styles of Martial Arts; what cultures they have come from and how they arrived here. Also, to examine how the Martial Arts have evolved over the years, and to see how different styles have both similarities and differences. Not only will this club promote recreation and fitness, but also diversity. It will provide a way for Martial Artists to continue training; or to educate those who would like to learn more.
Fundraising Goal
