Martial Arts History Museum

The Martial Arts History Museum, the first museum in the world featuring all aspects of Asian martial arts and Asian culture, is pleased to announce its relocation from Santa Clarita, CA to the city of Burbank. The main purpose of the Martial Arts History Museum is to provide educational information to children and visitors about the cultural, historical and artistry of Asian forms of martial arts. Founded in 1999, the Museum is set to open its doors in April, 2011. 'We are proud to join the city of Burbank which is synonymous throughout the world for entertainment,' said Museum founder and President Michael Matsuda.

The world renowned Museum features an evolving venue of artifacts and collections of Asian martial arts, which enables visitors and members to experience new exhibits on a continual and rotating basis. In addition, one of the popular offerings of the Martial Arts History Museum is the plethora of seminars and events featuring all aspects of Asian heritage and culture. For example, the lineup of upcoming events include a sushi seminar by Chef Maru Baba, stunt fighting seminars, action film director series, how to break into stunts, samurai sword authentication, samurai sword cutting, Chinese lion dancing, Asian language classes, anime workshops, Asian film festivals, and movie premieres, to name just a few.
