    Martial arts From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Martial arts (disambiguation). This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (November 2011) Martial arts are extensive systems of codified practices and traditions of combat, practiced for a variety of reasons, including self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, as well as mental and spiritual development. The term martial art has become heavily associated with the fighting arts of eastern Asia, but was originally used in regard to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. An English fencing manual of 1639 used the term in reference specifically to the "Science and Art" of swordplay. The term is ultimately derived from Latin, martial arts being the "Arts of Mars," the Roman god of war.[1] Some martial arts are considered 'traditional' and tied to an ethnic, cultural or religious background, while others are modern systems developed either by a founder or an association.

  • Canne De Combat
    Canne de Combat French stickfighting Canne Double canne Bâton Canne chausson Canne défense A short booklet about Canne de Combat 2007 The history of the sport The Canne de Combat is a modern french fighting sport, but it's history dates back to the XIX. century. The oldest methods were shown by some travelling circus, who made shows both in French and in Spain. In the middle ages the use of the stick was part of the sword training, in order to avoid the casualties. In 1780 a fencing master La Boissere developed the fencing mask, so the use of the stick was faded until the years of 1800 when the carry of the weapons become forbidden. That brought along the use of the stick and canne, both as an accessory and as a personal weapon for self defense. After the II. Word War the fencing with the stick was forgotten, but thanks to the hard- working of Maurice Sarry - who is the founder of the modern french stickfighting sport - the canne was reborn from it's ashes. The french Canne Federation was founded in 1975, Mr. Sarry became it's main directory. He researched the different folk styles with great passion, together with the stickfencing method ofVigny and Lang. The first French National Championship was held in 1980. Today, canne is practised in more than 10 countries. Both World Championship, and European Championship is held. The last European Championship was held in France, Schiltigheim. 1 Introduction The curriculum of Canne de Combat contains more, stick related parts. • Canne: fight with single stick • Double canne: fight with double stick • Bâton: long stick techniques • Canne chausson: kicks and stick attacks • Canne défense: self-defense with the stick Canne Canne is the biggest part of Canne de Combat.

Main article: Aiki martial arts principle. Maciej Borowik marked it as to-read Oct 26, Although the term has been used as a general term for swordsmanship as a whole, in modern times, kenjutsu refers more to the specific aspect of swordsmanship dealing with partnered sword training. May 03, Antonio Bustillo rated it it was amazing. He also considers Western misconceptions of Japanese martial arts and argues that, contrary to common views in the West, Zen Buddhism is associated with the martial arts in only a limited way. I even spent the better part of a year as a student in Japan. A similar problem arises when Hurst tackles another paradox having to do with the social organization of the Japanese martial arts. Following the "kung fu wave" in Hong Kong action cinema in the s, a number of mainstream films produced during the s contributed significantly to the perception of martial arts in western popular culture.

    Stick-Fighting: A Bibliography from The Essential Stick & Cane Instructor’s Manual, Second Edition Tom Lang [email protected] The books, videos, and DVDs listed here vary widely in price, content, number of techniques, and number of good techniques. Their inclusion here is not an endorsement. In many, showmanship and grandstanding often outweigh instruction, and the spectacular often outweighs the practical. Sources on club (2-foot stick) and staff (4-foot-stick) fighting are not complete. Many books and videos on Filipino stick fighting and the police baton are not listed, for example. However, sources for fighting with the 3-foot stick or cane are as complete as I could make them. (Don’t be surprised if some of the URL links no longer exist, however.)

  • Prague Papers in the History of International Relations
    Living Martial Arts as a Product of Continuous Exchange of Knowledge Vojtěch Šlapák1 ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to describe the mechanisms of the genesis and functioning of martial arts from the historical point of view, as a product of continuous exchange of knowledge, on both re- gional and international levels. The article responds to contemporary trends in the research of mar- tial arts. It is not strictly focused on any geographical area or historical period; rather, it attempts to outline the general facts applicable to most combat systems of the world, by taking into account the similarities of various techniques. For this purpose, the focus of the author is mainly on mod- ern Japanese martial arts. However, the article is also based on the traditions of European martial arts’ masters, which are well known to us, as well as on the worldwide historical development of martial arts. KEYWORDS Aikido; combat; martial arts; Jigoro Kano; Fiore dei Liberi; Gichin Funakoshi; Johannes Liechtenauer; Judo; Karate-Do; Morihei Ueshiba; self-defence; Shioda Gozo When Gichin Funakoshi (1868–1957)2 changed the Japanese character of the word “kara” in order to shift its meaning from “Chinese” to “empty”3, there was more to it than just expressing the essence of Okinawan martial arts, where the “Chinese hand” was replaced by an empty, unarmed hand. Funakoshi was not paying tribute to the Japanese militarism of the time, nor was he denying the merits of the Chinese tradi- tion. Instead, he probably meant to suggest that the new Karate-Do4 was mainly the result of the long-time work of local masters, a product that had originated in the ter- 1 Vojtěch Šlapák, Institute of Global History, Faculty of Arts, Charles University, Nám.
