GLENDALE, CA — The Martial Arts History Museum, the world’s first and only museum dedicated to preserving martial arts history, is set to be featured on “LA in a Minute,” one of the internet’s premier Southern California culture and history series.

Reminiscent of classic public television programming like Huell Howser’s California’s Gold, “LA in a Minute” offers fast-paced, deeply researched spotlights on the unique neighborhoods, rich history, and modern developments that define Los Angeles. Founded in 2022 by Evan Lovett—a California native, former Los Angeles Times writer, and NBC journalist—the platform aims to instill civic pride across Greater Los Angeles through concise, minute-long deep dives into local culture.

In the upcoming episode, Lovett turns his camera on Glendale to uncover the Martial Arts History Museum, a hidden cultural gem in the region. The feature explores Southern California's rich connections to martial arts lore, highlighting legendary figures who built their legacies in the area—including Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, Chuck Norris, and Bruce Lee, who was famously discovered at the Long Beach International Karate Championships.

“The museum offers a rare, educational glimpse into how Asian art, history, and culture intersect with the martial arts,” said Lovett. “It reveals the deep roots that world-renowned pioneers established right here in Los Angeles.”

Audiences can stream the episode across "LA in a Minute" digital channels, including YouTube and Instagram. To learn more about the museum, plan a visit, or support its programs, visit official website at MAMuseum.com.
