Designed by a Disney artist, the museum is the only facility of its kind in the world, spanning 8,000 square feet. It offers an immersive journey through Asian cultural history, the birth of MMA, and the artistic evolution of martial arts. Visitors can explore an extensive collection of martial arts movie props, Japanese samurai artifacts, a history of anime, and even an authentic workout item used by Bruce Lee. The museum has become a cultural landmark in the Los Angeles area, drawing high-profile visitors such as Keanu Reeves, Danny Trejo, Marisa Tomei, Steve Oedekerk, and Duff McKagan.

Convenient parking is available at 222 N. Orange, with the first 90 minutes free in the tower. The event runs from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM at 201 N. Brand Blvd., B100, Glendale, CA 91203.

Through unique exhibits and historical artifacts from China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and beyond, the museum underscores the profound positive influence martial arts has had on global culture and film. By offering free admission to fathers, the museum aims to make this experience accessible to more families, encouraging them to learn about and appreciate martial arts heritage.
