The pinyin system is now recog- nized internationally. As a result, the pinyin system is the preferred method in the present volume. Prior to this decision by the PRC, the Wade-Giles system had gained wide international acceptance. Certain terms, therefore, may appear un- der spellings unfamiliar to the reader. For example, Wade-Giles Hsing I Ch’uan or Hsing I Chuan appears as pinyin Xingyiquan, and Wing Chun is romanized as Yongchun. Pinyin spellings will be used in most cases. Old spellings, often un- systematic, are given in parentheses, for example Li Cunyi (Li Tsun-I). For those terms that are well established in another spelling, pinyin is noted in parentheses for consistency; for example, Pangai Noon (pinyin banyingruan). For Chinese names and terms that are not associated with the PRC, we have chosen to fol- low locally preferred romanizations. ix R Rank The word rank in this context refers to a system of hierarchies in martial arts based on various criteria such as physical fitness, mastery of curricu- lum, success in competition, length of time of study, and contributions to the system. Traditions differ as to the reasons for awarding rank and the ways in which rank is bestowed. Although in contemporary martial arts rank is commonly associated with the belt systems of the Asian arts, the practice of ranking practitioners of martial arts is not uniquely Asian. In 1540, Henry VIII of England granted letters of patent that formally enfranchised the English Masters of Defence (who previously had plied their trade with- out benefit of licensing) and at least tacitly gave the royal stamp of ap- proval to a four-tiered hierarchy based on the model of the medieval uni- versity: scholar, free scholar, provost, and master. The Masters of Defence then fixed requirements for testing for rank, length of time required for ap- prenticeship at each rank, and other criteria deemed necessary for formally establishing the hierarchy. Until the twentieth century, many Asian martial arts recognized only two tiers of rank: master and student. Occasionally, the designation of se- nior student could be extended as well. This system continues in some arts. The traditional systems of China (e.g., taijiquan [tai chi ch’uan], baguazhang [pa kua ch’uan]) have not formalized ranking further than this. The many conservative bugei (Japanese; warrior arts)—those arts des- ignated by the suffix jutsu (skills), such as kenjutsu—of Japan have main- tained the traditional means of ranking members (generally unique to the individual system) of each ryûha (style) into the contemporary period. Kanô Jigorô, in establishing jûdô in the late nineteenth century, de- veloped for students of his art a ranking system by means of the awarding of colored belts worn with practice uniforms. This tradition had a pro- found impact on the martial arts world, first via adoption of the system by the budô (martial ways) of Japan and then internationally, as both indige- 445 nous fighting systems and eclectic mar- tial arts of other cultures followed suit. In Kanô’s system and others based on it (e.g., karate, taekwondo), distinctions are made between lower levels (kyû [class] in Japanese systems—e.g., nikyû, meaning “second class”), who wear col- ored belts (e.g., green, brown) to signify rank, and upper levels (dan [grade]— e.g., shôdan, meaning “first grade”), who wear black belts. In the kyûs there is considerable variation in belt color from system to system, as well as vary- ing interpretations of the symbolic meanings of the various belt colors. In the Japanese model and systems derived from it, progress is denoted by descend- ing order through the classes (signified by white or colored belts). Therefore, sankyû (third class) is lower in rank than nikyû (second class), for example. The grades (signified by a black belt) denote rank through ascending order from shôdan (first grade) to nidan (sec- ond grade) and so forth. It is common Taekwondo students wear colored belts to promote through the first ranks of the black belt level on the basis of to indicate their proficiency in the art; fifth grade is often regarded as the apex for promo- rank within the system, Darjeeling, tion on technical skills. Thereafter, however, promotions in grade are based India. (Earl & on contributions to the art. Commonly, the highest grades of an art are be- Nazima Kowali/ Corbis) stowed on a teacher by students in recognition of self-mastery, creation or development of the system, or similar unique contributions. Most contemporary styles that have followed the Japanese lead in in- dicating rank by color do so by means of the method put forth by Kanô, by the color of a flat cloth belt worn looped around the waist on the out- side of the practitioner’s jacket. There are exceptions, however. In the Re- gional system of Brazilian capoeira developed by Manoel dos Reis Machado in the 1930s, rank is displayed by the cordão (cord), a rope made of braided cords. The cordão is worn through the belt loops on the uni- form. In contemporary French savate, rank is indicated by a colored band or patch worn on the gloves used for sparring. The latter decades of the twentieth century saw the increasing adop- tion of systems derived from Kanô’s method, not only in Japanese budô, 446 Rank but also by non-Asian systems and contemporary eclectic systems such as capoeira, savate, American Freestyle karate, and Russian sambo. Many martial arts systems remain, however, that have not converted from tradi- tional student-teacher organizational frameworks. Thomas A.

Relatedly, and centrally to the development of organization studies as a field, the following questions become central: Why do so few women theorists and writers appear in our lectures and classes on managing, organising and working? Why have the contribution of women to organisation theory been neglected, indeed, written out of, the everyday conversations of the academy? This series redresses the neglect of women in organization thought and practice. It does so by highlighting the unique contributions of women in respect to fundamental organizational issues such as structure, rationality, managing, leading, culture, power, ethics, diversity and sustainability, while also attending to more nuanced organisational concerns arising from issues such as performativity, the body, emotion, materiality and post-coloniality.

A Comparison of Physical Education in Germany and America From the Years 1860-1930. (1963) Directed by: Dr. Rosemary McGee pp:82 A comparison was made of the development of the physical education movement in Germany and America from i860 to 1930. This writer believes that American physical education and German Leibeserziehung are reflections of the political and social attitudes of these two countries. A study was made of the political situation of both countries during this era. The rich cultural heritage and the uneducated political attitude of the Germans were strikingly different from the democracy of the common man in America and the American individualism which were creating a new culture. Socially the current in Germany flowed with the authoritative leaders and was mirrored in the literature. The literature included the extremes of the spirit of the humanity of Goethe to the Germanity of Jahn.

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.
