Aspectos Educacionais Do Karate: Discutindo Suas Representações No Cinema1
SEÇÃO: ARTIGOS Aspectos educacionais do karate: discutindo suas representações no cinema1 Rafael Cava Mori2 ORCID: 0000-0001-6301-2795 Gilmar Araújo de Oliveira3 ORCID: 0000-0002-7617-6235 Resumo O karate é uma luta originária de Okinawa, ilha ao sul do Japão. Historicamente, atravessou três períodos: a partir do século XVII, como bujutsu, técnica clandestina de luta; depois, como budo, quando foi convertido em luta tradicional japonesa, em fins do século XIX, propugnando valores educacionais e identitários; e finalmente, como esporte de luta, quando foi associado a performance motora e competitividade, no século XX. Ao considerar o papel do karate como veiculador de valores de um Japão idealizado – japonesidade –, este trabalho analisa representações cinematográficas dessa luta. A análise focou nos aspectos educativos retratados nos filmes, a série estadunidense The karate kid e o japonês Kuro obi, sendo conduzida conforme três categorias: a relação entre teoria e prática; ruídos e conflitos entre professor e aluno; e formação do aluno como futuro professor. Os resultados revelam que as obras criticam a esportivização do karate, enfatizando a representação de aspectos educacionais associados aos períodos do bujutsu e, principalmente, do budo. Também, colaboram para reafirmar e atualizar a japonesidade, ao tratar os princípios do budo e sua transmissão educacional de forma idealizada, sem aludir a seu caráter moderno. Ainda, os filmes apresentam divergências em relação à proposta contemporânea de uma pedagogia das lutas, fundamentada na ciência da motricidade humana. Por outro lado, as produções cinematográficas contribuem para a área educacional na medida em que possibilitam discussões a respeito dos processos formativos e seus percalços, retratados de forma original, recorrendo aos conceitos de yin/ yang relacionados aos princípios zen -budistas do budo.

Press Kit Official website: www.OnlyTheBraveMovie.com Publicity: Lyla Foggia, (503) 622-0232 or [email protected] The Story A searing portrait of war and prejudice, this new motion picture will take you on a haunting journey into the hearts and minds of the forgotten heroes of World War II – the all-volunteer, Japanese-American 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team. In 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, there were 5,000 Japanese Americans serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Overnight, these second-generation citizens were stripped of their official duties – simply because they looked like the enemy. On the mainland, 120,000 innocent men, women and children were rounded up and swept into remote internment camps, where they would remain behind barbed wire for the duration of the war. Determined to prove their loyalty, the discharged Hawaiian Territorial Guardsmen of Japanese descent successfully petitioned the U.S. government to allow them to serve. These 1400 Hawaiian Nisei (second-generation Japanese-Americans) became the 100th Infantry Battalion. In July 1943, after rigorous training, they were sent to North Africa, then Italy. Fiercely courageous, they suffered so many casualties the 100th was soon dubbed the “Purple Heart Battalion.” In June 1944, they were joined by the 442nd – comprised of Nisei volunteers from the internment camps and Hawaii – and proceeded to liberate five towns in Northern Italy. That September, they were shipped to Southern France and freed three more towns, before being recruited for what would become one of the top ten most important battles of World War II – the impossibly-dangerous rescue of the Texas “Lost Battalion.” Two hundred and seventy-five men of the Texas' 36th Division had been trapped for more than a week on a high plateau in France’s Vosges Mountains, surrounded by 7000 experienced German soldiers.

Educational Aspects of Karate: Discussing Their Representations in Filming1*
SECTION: ARTICLES Educational aspects of Karate: discussing their representations in filming1* Rafael Cava Mori2 ORCID: 0000-0001-6301-2795 Gilmar Araújo de Oliveira3 ORCID: 0000-0002-7617-6235 Abstract Karate is a fighting style that originated in Okinawa, an island in the south of Japan. Historically, it spans over three periods: from the seventeenth century, as bujutsu, a clandestine fighting technique; later, as budo, when it was turned into a traditional Japanese combat form in the late nineteenth century, promoting educational and identity values; and finally as a fighting sport, when it was associated with motor performance and competitiveness in the twentieth century. In considering the role of karate as a carrier of values of an idealized Japan – Japaneseness –, the present study analyzes representations of this fighting style in filming. The analysis focused on the educational aspects portrayed in the American film The Karate Kid (and its two sequels) and in the Japanese film Kuro Obi, being conducted according to three categories: the relationship between theory and practice; noises and conflicts between teacher and student; and student training as a future teacher. Results show that these cinematographic works criticize the sportivization of karate while emphasizing the representation of educational aspects associated with the periods of bujutsu and, specially, of budo. They also collaborate to reaffirm and actualize Japaneseness by treating the principles of budo and its educational transmission in an idealized way, without alluding to its modern form. Moreover, the films diverge from the contemporary proposal of a pedagogy of martial arts based on the science of human motricity. On the other hand, these cinematographic productions contribute to the educational area in that they allow discussions about educational processes and their mishaps, which are portrayed in an original way, using the concepts of yin/yang related to the Zen Buddhist principles of budo.

Asiaxpress.Com Denver's Pre
Home Business Directory Events/Entertainment Lifestyles Organizations asiaXpress.com Info Starz Int'l Film Festival Monday, April 5, 2010 'A story that needed to be told' Joe Nguyen, staff writer Nov. 14, 2005 DENVER - Lane Nishikawa’s “Only the Brave” was a runaway hit during the opening days of the 28th Starz International Film Festival. The initial two showings sold out; a third was added and quickly sold out as well. This film about World War II focuses on the heroic tale of the 100th/442nd, an all-Japanese-American regiment who fought for their country while their families were detained in internment camps back in the states. “This was a story that needed to be told,” actor Yuri Okumoto said. This emotional recount of the regiment’s rescue of the trapped 141st Regiment left scarcely a dry eye in the theater. Nishikawa masterfully blended the soldiers’ heartwarming Lane Nishikawa (2nd from left) speaking at the flashbacks with scenes of war which created a powerful JACL reception emotional attachment to the characters. There are many storylines, but they all beautifully intertwine in the end. The film also showcased a number of notable Asian-American actors including Jason Scott Lee (“Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story”), Mark Dacascos (“Brotherhood of the Wolf”) and Pat Morita (“The Karate Kid”). Okumoto (“The Karate Kid, Part II”) and producers Jay Koiwai and Eric Hayashi were in attendance for all three of the Q&A sessions. Nishikawa, who also plays the lead role, arrived from Hawaii for the third showing of the film. In Hawaii, he said he witnessed 2,000 people watching his film on a 40-feet by 30-feet screen with a “rock ‘n' roll sound system.” Seats for the final showing were already filling up 45 minutes prior to the start of the movie.
