Modernity, Tradition and Security in Budo Karate
Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2013, Vol 9, Issue 9
Abstract
The authors describe budo karate as one of the aspects of safety culture. Nowadays, there are three pillars of karate: traditional karate, sports and self-defense. Karate is a particular feld of physical culture that forms the foundation for all three pillars of safety culture: the mental, organizational and material pillar. Karate meets the modern expectations of increasing the quality of life, feeling of security and protection against the dangers of the modern world. The authors also note that all style karate is a system that symbiotically combines tradition with appropriately construed modernity, while simultaneously enabling self-fulfllment.<br/><br/>
