Back in the 1970s before the polytechnics became universities, and before every subject under the sun became degree-able, it would have seemed ludicrous – but what about now? If you can do a degree in sport and exercise, film studies and fashion, why not martial arts? Well, actually, in the US, a number of colleges have introduced just that. The University of Bridgeport, Connecticut has a BA in Martial Arts Studies that is quite comprehensive on the academic side though they are still adding to the practical choices.

With all this in mind, a martial arts degree will, without doubt, become a reality in the UK at some point in the future. Therefore should we not be preparing our students for that time by integrating functional skills into them. So, what are functional skills? Are they basic skills, key skills, skills for life, employability skills or something completely different? Functional skills are the latest attempt, and a central part of UK education policy, to raise standards in English, Maths and ICT. They are being integrated into qualifications across the board, and since September 2010, were available as standalone qualifications to both teenagers and adults alike. Basically, functional skills help you to function in life whether at home, work or in a learning environment.

Whether you aspire to turning your passion for martial arts into a degree or not, functional skills are surely be a must. To gain them whilst you are doing something you love is an added bonus. Whatever the degree, university admissions will require a basic level of these skills for entry onto any degree programme. Look at the learning outcomes for the Bridgeport degree, they expect students to be able to demonstrate basic maths, science, written and oral skills in addition to critical thinking – maybe even Bruce Lee would approve?

Irrespective of whether martial arts becomes degree-able or not, they teach students so many useful life lessons as well as being a form of fitness, should not martial arts schools and clubs offer what are really fundamental skills in order to be able to fully operate in society today? After all, if after becoming a Blackbelt, you aspire to being an instructor running
