Abstract

In introduction author defines general notion of martial arts, which is refered to psycho-physical methods worked out by Asian masters, but – as well – to tradition of Christian European knight-hood. Fighters` ways of different cultures are considered in context of interpretation of religion, sacrum and asceze ideas. Languages used for interpretation of mentality problems influences opinions` compatibility or discord. Author proposes to introduce the language of energy and methodological rule of frankness. The article complies historical and social aspects. Understanding of God`s notion – different in particular cultural traditions – is the result of differences in languages building their ideas and methods used for true-research. Most similar are always statements of mistics and meditation masters. In perspective of new, system theology paradigm, apparent differen-ces lose their importance. Just similarly as seeming danger of social functioning martial arts phenomenon. “Martial arts theology” refers to personal “body theology” and spiritual theology, under-takes ecumenic and about-redemption science problems and also questions of creativity, religious experience, mental dimensions of fight and education. Above propositions open the horizon of future research as a prologomena of this science domain important for integral anthropology and as a part of humanistic theory of martial arts.
