Joseph C Carter Park Gym 1500 block West Sunrise Blvd., This year’s essay topic was: “Should the strong protect the Ft. Lauderdale, FL weak?” The essays are all intelligently written and extremely For more information: well thought out. Although the writers each took a different www.MAFOnline.net approach, the answer to the question was a resounding “yes.” No surprise, right? After all, anyone with morals and compassion would agree that living in a civilized society with the ability to enjoy freedom and liberty would not be possible if November 14, 2015 the strong did not protect the weak.

THE DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MARTIAL ARTS EXPERIENCE IN NEW ZEALAND A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Social Science at Lincoln University by Diana Looser Lincoln University 2003 2 Abstract THE DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MARTIAL ARTS EXPERIENCE IN NEW ZEALAND This thesis examines the martial arts in New Zealand. It takes three approaches. The first is socio­ historical, with a particular focus on the history and development of martial arts practice in New Zealand. The second is socio-cultural and is concerned with the characteristics of the people . practising the various martial arts. The third is motivational and explores the reasons why people become involved in martial arts training and why they continue. The theories of risk and the risk society, and popular or mass consumer culture are used to help explain, and provide a social context for understanding, people's motivations. In addition, the black belt is examined in terms of its symbolic nature and its role in motivating people to begin, and continue with, their training.
