An absolute favorite of local schools and children, the Martial Arts Museum offers educational experiences in how martial arts have shaped history and traditions all over the world. Parts of the museum pay attention to the history of Anime and ways in which martial arts have impacted media arts in the United States. Kids would love to behold the headband from the Karate Kid movie and exhibits dedicated to the traditional Samurai order. It also goes to show American history’s co-opting, including and assuming of Oriental history as its own through the martial arts.

The museum has an amazing extensive collection of weapons, clothing and other artifacts connected with Asian and Pacific martial arts. In addition, there are timelines, videos, and many video compilations on the history of martial arts in the United States. I expect everyone will recognize and be touched by the reminder of what first caught their interest in martial arts. Karate Kid? Billy Jack? Green Hornet? The museum has very limited signage, so don’t expect to see it from your car.
