Yet relatively few works have attempted to define the ‘martial arts’, our signature concept. This article evaluates a number of approaches to the problem by asking whether ‘lightsaber combat’ is a martial art.

Ruddy Follow this and additional works at: http://scholarship.law.nd.edu/ndlr Part of the Law Commons Recommended Citation Clarence J. Ruddy, Misunderstood Mr. Burr: His Duel with Hamilton, 2 Notre Dame L. Rev. 50 (1926).

CURIOSITIES OF THE LAW THE MISUNDERSTOOD MR. BURR: HIS DUEL WITH HAMILTON Fifty years ago anyone attempting to defend Aaron Burr of criminality in his duel with Alexander Hamilton would have aroused immediate and vicious antagonism. It was a settled convicton of all men that Burr was a dastardly murderer, and that his part in the lamentable affair with Hamilton was one of the most atrocious crimes ever committed in this country. People profoundly believed that Burr was thoroughly bad-as Benedict Arnold was bad-and anyone who tried to change that belief was himself either an igno- ramus or a perjurer of truth. Few, of course, gave reasons why Burr was wrong and Hamilton right, but reasons were not necessary. The truth was so evident that it needed no philosophic demonstra- tion. Of late, however, people seem less disposed to condemn a man to eternal ignominy upon the doubtful evidence of legend, and pre- fer to study for themselves the reliable documents of our early na- tional life, so that they may decide with a greater probability of being correct, whether Burr really was so base as he has been de- picted.

  • The Duels at Silver Creek
    THE DUELS AT SILVER CREEK The piercing crack of gun shots rang out through the trees. Two men facing each other at 50 paces dropped smoking pistols to their sides, as the other actors in the weird scene rushed forward to see if either man was wounded. The year was 1809 . the place, the Indiana shore of the Ohio River where two of the most prominent Kentuckians of the day, Humphrey Marshall and Henry Clay, were settling their differences in a duel at Silver Creek. When Humphrey Marshall called Henry Clay a liar on the floor of the Kentucky House of Representatives on January 4, 1809, Clay had, in the custom of the times, only one recourse to vindicate his honor. That very night Clay sent to Marshall a challenge to meet him in a duel. The challenge was promptly accepted and all Kentucky waited breathlessly for the outcome. Clay, later to be ranked among the most famous of American politicians and statesmen, was in 1809 already well known in Kentucky. His opponent, Humphrey Marshall, was then even better known in the Bluegrass State. A first cousin of John Marshall, famed chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Humphrey Marshall had served in the U.S. Senate and was probably the outstanding member of the Federalist Party in Kentucky. Clay was a follower of Thomas Jefferson and a political opponent of the Federalists. Ironically, the duel between Clay and Marshall was the culmination of a train of events set in motion by the actions of Aaron Burr, then in disgrace in the Eastern states after he had fatally wounded Alexander Hamilton in the most famous duel in American history.

  • Duel of Theobald Versus Seitz – Germany, 1370
    Duel of Theobald versus Seitz – Germany, 1370 translation & commentary by Jeffrey Hull This particular account of judicial duel (kampf) from Germany of 1370 is found in Volume II Chapter 14 of the fechtbuch (fight-book) De Arte Athletica (aka Liber Artis Athleticae – Cod.icon. 393 – circa 1542) by that citizen of Augsburg and fencer called Paulus Hector Mair. Although his Latin recounting is nearly two centuries after the event, it does read with authority, as Mair was the practically peerless fencing historian of 16th Century Germany (1). A similar account is found in Augsburger Chronik (circa 1457) by Sigismund Meisterlin (2). Mair’s account is highly interesting, not just for its description of martial techniques, but also for its description of legal proceeding and dueling-day ritual. And indeed, all that Mair describes here is readily corroborated by, or does not conflict with, other fight-books. It is one of many accounts from late 14th Century, during the time when the eventual grandmaster of Kunst des Fechtens, Johann Liechtenauer, must have been ascending as a young knight and martial artist. My translation is based upon Josef Würdinger’s summarising German translation of Mair’s original Latin recounting, but with comparison to Mair’s original made to corroborate and clarify certain points. Würdinger’s translation was reprinted recently (2006) by Hans Edelmaier (see Bibliography). Lastly – I have made occasional interpolations and several textual notes, as such seemed needed to make these events more comprehensible to the modern reader. ~ ***** In the course of one of the feuds which Duke Stephan had to endure and counter by arrests in Swabia (3) during the years 1369 and 1370, this did happen: A Swabian noble, Theobald Giß von Gißenberg, accused his peer, Seitz von Altheim, of robbery (4) in presence of the Duke.

Fulton Burns Follow this and additional works at: https://mds.marshall.edu/theatre_faculty Part of the Acting Commons Stage Combat Character Analysis By T. Fulton Burns It is so deceptively easy stating who your character is but it is over looked more often than you may think. A good character analysis is important in the actor/character relationship and here we will look at the key elements of character research and their specific relationships to the stage combatant. If you want a great source to consider I highly recommend Uta Hagen’s Respect for Acting because it has one of the most concise research options available. She lists her character analysis as follows: • Who am I? Character Characters in Romeo and Juliet have • What time is it? Century, year, season, day, minute training in combative techniques and this • Where am I? Country, city, neighborhood, level of expertise even reveals social status. Tybalt is a wonderful example because he house, room, area of room prides himself on his fighting abilities. One • What surrounds? Animate and inanimate objects could even argue that fighting and pride are all that he knows. The hatred he holds • What are the given circumstances? Past, present, future, and the towards another family (Montagues) based events upon principle and/or teaching, also molds him as a character. Also, how he fights is • What is my relationship?

  • Duel Personality
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Duel Personality In days of yore when a court of law did not seem the appropriate solution to libel or slander, the duel (especially in New Orleans) was considered an excellent resource for recovery of reputation. More duels were fought during the 1830s in the Crescent City than in any other city in the world. Louisiana Historian Alcée Fortier wrote that on a single Sunday in 1839 ten duels were fought in New Orleans. The word duel from the Latin duellum, an archaic form of bellum, originally signified a legal method of solving a private matter. By the time it came to New Orleans it was an extrajudicial avenue for settling a private affront. It was conducted according to twenty-six points of the Code Duello, adopted in 1777 in Ireland, of all places. It seems as if the gentlemen of Tipperary, Galway, Mayo, Sligo and Roscommon needed some ground rules so as to avoid a donnybrook. And it was only for gentlemen since they would only duel those of their own social standing, even though the insults would indicate otherwise. Dueling in City Park in 1841 In 1722, only four years after the founding New Orleans, Bienville outlawed dueling. Both the French and Spanish administrations had tough laws against dueling, but they were not enforced. In 1812, when Louisiana became a state, dueling was illegal. An “Association Against Dueling” was formed in New Orleans in 1834, but Creole tempers still flared. In 1855 the New Orleans police began to enforce the laws on the books against dueling, and a number of arrests and prosecutions were made.

  • Grappling As Projected in the Archaeological Finds of Ancient and Medieval India
    Grappling as Projected in the Archaeological Finds of Ancient and Medieval India Kush Dhebar1 1. 505, Technology Apartment, 24 IP Extension, Delhi – 110 092, New Delhi, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 16 July 2018; Revised: 08 September 2018; Accepted: 17 October 2018 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 6 (2018): 908‐925 Abstract: Grappling as an unarmed form of combat that has been prevalent in India since the ancient times. Grappling included present day forms of wrestling, Pehelvani, Jiu‐Jitsu, Judo and classical pugilism. Ancient Indian literature is full of references of grappling and other martial arts but along with that India has an undying tradition of archaeological evidences of grappling in the form of sculptures and terracotta plates on Indian monuments right from the Sunga‐ Kushana period to the VIjayanagara period. Keywords: Archaeology, Wrestling, Grappling, Jiu‐Jitsu, Iconography, Mallayuddha, Mushti‐Yuddha Introduction Ancient India had great and widespread martial and physical traditions. Martial Arts practiced by martial artists was known as Mallavidya. This mallavidya was practiced in earthen mud pits known as Akhadas in North India, Talim in Maharashtra and Garadi Mane in Karnataka. The mallavidya that we see today is more or less restricted to wrestling and grappling, but during the ancient times there are references of striking like punches, knees and elbows also being used. For example, in the Harivamsha Purana there are famous bouts between Lord Krishna and his brother Balarama and wrestlers Chanura and Mushtika. If one reads the Purana one can see how fists and knees were used by the wrestlers during the bouts.

We are particularly interested in one of these risky activities, namely kidney donation by living donors.
