While strong Asian teams were expected to dominate, there were some surprises. China maintained its hold at the top of the podium with a whopping 17 gold medals – and 1 silver – to make a total of 18.

The authors will discuss the nature of the relationship between the various martial arts and the “psycho-phys- ical culture”. We will approach this topic from the perspectives of the Humanistic Theory of Martial Arts, martial arts systemic anthropology, and the sociology of psycho-physical systems. Methods. The main method of research has been a qualitative content analysis of the literature (scientific and popular) acquired through a query library. We studied material gathered under the theme “Martial Arts” in the Library of the University of Rzeszow, as well as a list of recommended literature suggested by the International Martial Arts and Combat Sports Scientific Society (IMACSSS) Results. Four dimensions have been traditionally investigated to justify the assignment of martial arts to the area of psycho-physical culture. These are: (1) The presence in most martial arts of an original philosophy, especially one demanding a code of ethics: (2) A close, almost “genetic” relationships between martial arts and various applicable religious systems and traditions of applied social ethics; (3) The continuing emphasis on the area of physical culture as it relates to personality development and human spirituality; and (4) the presence in schools of martial arts of ceremonial events attached to “passages” in personal growth.

Wushu Shines in Spotlight at Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games August 17-27 Nanjing, China From August 17-27, the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games brought 3,800 young athletes from all over the world to China for 12 days of spectacular sport competition. This second Summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) played to thousands of live spectators and was broadcast throughout China and around the world. Though not yet an official Olympic sport, wushu remains a hopeful contender, and as part of the IOC family of international sport federations, it was invited to join the Games in Nanjing as part of an experimental program called Sports Lab - an interactive showcase of four sports: wushu, skateboarding, roller- sport and sport climbing. Each day brought 3,000 visitors, including crowds of athletes from the Olympic Village, IOC delegates, NOC officials and many Nanjing locals. During his visit to Sports Lab IOC President Thomas Bach stepped onto the wushu carpet for a quick sword lesson with Russian athlete Daria Tarasova, and also stopped for a chat and group photo with the Sports Lab athletes.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The wuxia film is the oldest genre in the Chinese cinema that has remained popular to the present day. Yet despite its longevity, its history has barely been told until fairly recently, as if there was some force denying that it ever existed. Indeed, the genre was as good as non-existent in China, its country of birth, for some fifty years, being proscribed over that time, while in Hong Kong, where it flowered, it was gen- erally derided by critics and largely neglected by film historians. In recent years, it has garnered a following not only among fans but serious scholars. David Bordwell, Zhang Zhen, David Desser and Leon Hunt have treated the wuxia film with the crit- ical respect that it deserves, addressing it in the contexts of larger studies of Hong Kong cinema (Bordwell), the Chinese cinema (Zhang), or the generic martial arts action film and the genre known as kung fu (Desser and Hunt).1 In China, Chen Mo and Jia Leilei have published specific histories, their books sharing the same title, ‘A History of the Chinese Wuxia Film’ , both issued in 2005.2 This book also offers a specific history of the wuxia film, the first in the English language to do so. It covers the evolution and expansion of the genre from its beginnings in the early Chinese cinema based in Shanghai to its transposition to the film industries in Hong Kong and Taiwan and its eventual shift back to the Mainland in its present phase of development. Subject and Terminology Before beginning this history, it is necessary first to settle the question ofterminology , in the process of which, the characteristics of the genre will also be outlined.
