MAHI International
Martial arts & (mental) Health Institute
We are committed to the professionalization of martial arts within the field of mental health. We do this through close collaboration with scientists, educators, policymakers, and healthcare institutions.
MAHI is the international sister organization of the Dutch knowledge institute TRAP, with a strong focus on academic collaboration and professional training. There are a lot of international projects and research in line with our mission, in collaboration we try to bundle expertise and give martial arts the role it deserves.
Our approach integrates traditional martial arts with modern psychology, trauma studies, and evidence‑based practice. This creates a comprehensive framework in which learning by doing, embodied practice, and professional development come together.
MAHI develops programs, research lines, and policy frameworks that connect martial arts with mental health, trauma‑sensitive practice, and sustainable resilience. In doing so, we contribute to a healthier, stronger, and more connected world.
