Combat Sports


The combat sports module is an engaging and unique resource which aims to acquaint the sports medicine practitioner with the various disciplines of Martial Arts including their individual combat style, the risks associated with each and how to manage a combat event as the lead doctor.  

This resource is supported by an entertaining range of videos, photographs and graphics to aid understanding of the various fight styles. The common injuries experienced in the more recognised martial arts are described and there is a brief discussion on the management of each.

The final component of the module focusses on the darker side of combat sports including journeymen, doping and weight cutting.
