I don't know about a Doctorate in Martial Arts in the United States, but I do know that UC Berkeley confers Bachelor's degrees in Martial Arts. Some universities in China offer Martial Arts PhDs as a subcategory of Sports Science and Medicine programs.

There are some places offering martial arts ranges. I unquestionably have time-honored some that have been in contact in them. i'm sorry to declare that they instruct greater type room textile and much less functional martial arts. various communities have tried to get such ranges recognized by ability of the educational community as valid. final I heard they weren't recognized by ability of the educational community. terrific ingredient i will propose is merely to coach with a knowledgeable instructor which could furnish rank back up by ability of a valid company. by ability of that I recommend learn decrease than a recognized company quite than training someplace which will provide dojo ranks that are from the doj itself.

I've heard of a few Grand Masters that have PhD's but it's usually in some kind of physical education program, health/healing etc. Usually martial arts and heath (internal chi stuff) go hand in hand when you get to the master/grand master level.

Yes its a degree. which last tiem i checked is considred a doctorate, once you get you black belt you are considered to have your teaching degree. you are still none the lessa student yourselve but, it is consideered a teachign degree. in kung fu it would be when you are evaluated by your masters, so i guess saying black belt would be wrong, in most japanese martial arts that is considred your teaching degree any way yes good luck in finding a degree froam university!

In Japan chiropractors tend to be judoka, so I guess that's sort of like what your thinking.
