The Centre for Martial Arts and Science (CEMAS) at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is a pioneering initiative that brings together martial arts, academic research and social engagement. Established in response to the growing popularity and diversity of martial arts, CEMAS reflects VUB’s commitment as an urban engaged university to address societal needs through inclusive and innovative approaches based on state-of-the art multidisciplinary scientific insights. Located in Brussels, the capital of Europe, CEMAS provides an inclusive environment where local needs intersect with international perspectives. What sets CEMAS apart is its strong academic foundation, its commitment to social impact, and its role as a bridge between academic researchers and practitioners.
