The Society of Martial Artists is an organization at WPI dedicated to the martial arts, self-defense education, and the development of the mind, body, and spirit. SOMA is broken down into three programs, Styles, Workshops, and Support which can be accessed in the navigation bar.
Our Styles program offers active martial arts practitioners access to equipment and a training floor. It offers martial arts instructors an opportunity to hold lessons on campus, and gives students on campus the opportunity to learn basic self-defense skills and to train in-depth in certain styles. Our Workshops program is designed to provide free self-defense education to students who do not have time or do not wish to attend a Style. Workshops are 1.5 hours long, and we hold a general workshop open to the community each term. Any group, club or organization can sign up for a private SOMA Workshop here. Our Support program encompasses our efforts to promote topics such as sexual assault prevention, bullying awareness, and other topics related to personal safety in every setting. SOMA participates in many events and programs on campus that address these issues. This program also provides other resources for staying safe at all times. |
