The rapidly expanding martial arts industry, which is presently unregulated within the United States, has seen multiple coaches convicted of sex offenses in recent years. However, there is currently no existing literature on sexual assault within the martial arts industry. We used major search platforms to collect media reports concerning martial arts coaches who were convicted of sex offenses within the United States. We analyzed the reports for information concerning the perpetrators, victims, and offenses as a first step toward filling the need for insight in this area. We found that a significant number of convicted sex offenders resumed martial arts coaching following initial law enforcement intervention.

武术行业迅速发展，目前在美国尚未受到监管，近年来，许多教练被定罪。然而，目前在武术界没有关于性侵犯的文献。我们使用主要的搜索平台来收集有关在美国被定罪的武术教练的媒体报道。我们对报告进行了分析，以获取有关犯罪者，受害者和犯罪的信息，这是填补对这一领域洞察力的第一步。我们发现，在最初的执法干预之后，大量定罪的性罪犯恢复了武术指导。
