Announcement

Health professionals in martial arts: survey.
My student, Idit Cohen, would like to ask some questions of physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, and other health professionals, who practice martial arts regularly.
We would like to know to what extent health professionals think that martial arts affect them as professionals and as human beings. Any budoka, who are in the health professions and are willing to answer some questions, are invited to send me their email addresses in order to receive the questionnaire. We hope the survey will result in an article on the subject in a professional journal, and anonymity can be guaranteed to those who wish it. Idit is a fourth year nursing student, who practices Aikido regularly. I teach biomedical ethics and philosophy to medical, nursing and other health sciences students, and I practice Aikido and Ninjutsu regularly.
Thank you for giving this announcement your attention.
