What is the course structure of the Ph.D. courses in martial arts offer by the Asia Pacific Open University of Martial Arts? Is it good to do Ph.D in martial arts from Asia Pacific Open University of Martial Arts. I am worried to do this course.

Sorry to say you but there is no martial arts course is offered by Asia Pacific Open University. The Asia Pacific Open University is does not offering degree in martial arts.

But the workshop for MAGMA (Malaysian Martial Arts Grandmasters Association) Martial Arts Academy now offers diploma and bachelors’ degree courses as well as Masters’ and PhDs in martial arts.
