Values of martial arts in the light of the anthropology of martial arts

Journal Title: Journal of Combat Sports and Martial Arts - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

From the perspective of the philosophical anthropology of martial arts and of martial arts humanistic theory the author presents values of today’s pathways of warriors from eastern Asia. He also refers to other theoretical concepts of martial arts philosophy, and especially their normative ethics.The pedagogical implications of the use of a variety of axiological traditional martial arts have been proven in many countries, but to the greatest extent in the countries of eastern and south-eastern Asia. The pathways of martial arts (such as Japanese Budo) constitute a huge potential and universal cultural heritage from which today’s physical education pedagogy should draw.
