  • Indian Martial Arts by Master E
    1 Indian Martial Arts by Master E. Edwards [email protected] The following is a rendering of an article by Master E. Edwards that appeared on pages 12 – 14 of his 20th Anniversary Souvenir Program. Master Edward’s website is www.kalari-payat.org. Indian Martial Arts Origin – Even at the dawn of man’s existence, one of the first arts man was forced to learn, for self-preservation, was the art of self-defense and therefore origin of martial arts anywhere in the world will ultimately always be traced back to the origin of man. Early man had to learn not only to effectively defend himself against his enemies but also against marauding and carnivorous animals. Mind, Body and Spirit – Among the various arts developed in India, recognized for her rich cultural heritage dating back several centuries before Christ, was the one pertaining to martial arts. Ancient Indian philosophies were handed down from generation to generation normally by word of mouth or written on palm leaf manuscripts, which incredibly are still available for inspection. These oral and written philosophies give us a clear indication that the sages of yore, apart from their usual study of religion and philosophy, never neglected the study of the human anatomy incorporating the mind, body and spirit. It is precisely from this study that the various sciences of war and the indigenous Ayurvedic medical treatment emerged. Link between, Japanese, Chinese & Indian martial arts – In the southern peninsula of India there is clear evidence showing that martial arts were practiced during the 6th and 7th century.

In this paper, we describe a gameplay model which may be usedto elicit cognitive empathy as a part of anti-bullying program among schoolchildren. We interviewed 79 schoolchildren from four schools in order to find out their understanding of bullying and their play behavior, and we observed their play behaviorduring recess. We found that most schoolchildren in our study instinctively know that bullying is wrong because it hurt others but attributethe consequences to self as imposed by authorities as the reason why hurting others is wrong. We argue that, this shows that they demonstrate affective empathy but would benefit from cognitive empathy training. From our findings we came out with design guidelines and produced a bullying morality conceptual model, which then informed our gameplay model. To validate the gameplay model, we designed and tested an indoor physical computing game prototype that encourages player to collectively exercise their cognitive empathy. The results from our game testing shows that the game mechanics proposed in our gameplay model do encourage players to exercise the empathy.

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.
