It was knowledge resulting from our own experience and the fighting, was passed directly from master to student or from father message of previous generations of experts. The master, according to his knowledge and intuition, passed the secrets through demon- stration and verbal instruction. The student had to mature to ac- cept this knowledge – develop his psycho-physical abilities. In turn, the championship meant not only master skills, but life wisdom. To this day, self-respecting organizations admit master degrees only to adults, and the highest grades – achieving a high-level over-technical level. Science enables avoiding errors, faster achievement of skills and reliable knowledge, and in particular a better understanding of the analysed phenomena. Such a cultural phenomenon is martial arts and martial arts coming from them. They require a multifaceted, 7 Martial Arts & Combat Sports: Towards the General Theory of Fighting Arts interdisciplinary study. In particular, the preparation of martial arts instructor or martial arts requires equipping him with quite a broad knowledge. The leaders of some martial arts organizations and re- searchers are trying to collect and transmit this knowledge [cf. Kern- specht 1988, 2011; Tokarski 1989; Pieter, Heijmans 1997; Sterko- wicz 1998]. The idea of the general theory has been gradually growing, at least since 2009, when under the patronage of the Idokan Poland Association, but the author’s own edition has published a book (simul- taneously a monograph and a textbook) Sztuki walki – Ido i Idokan / Martial Arts – Ido & Idokan. This book contains references to both the Humanistic Theory of Martial Arts (HTMA), as well as to the theory of sport, physical education theory and methodology of teaching physical exercises [Cynarski 2009]. Moreover, the concept of a theoretical ap- proach consistent with the assumptions of the new systemic paradigm is in harmony with the theoretical approach of the new pedagogy [cf. Cynarski, Blazejewski, Pasterniak 2016]. in the development of the next stage of summarizing international The name of the General Theory of Fighting Arts, first appeared research within the framework of the IPA [Cynarski, Sieber 2012]. Meijin Lothar Sieber 10 dan, as an expert in self-defence and real arts science.

Multiple presence in Japan and exchange of knowledge at numerous scientific conferences have an impact that is8 difficult to overestimate. Introduction confront different theoretical concepts, empirically test them through Scientific cooperation under IPA and IMACSSS made it possible to research, and especially valuable hints during the discussion. The author owes a lot to his Colleagues from this milieu, but also to his master teachers (scientists and practitioners of martial arts), as well as to students, graduates and doctoral students. The author’s lectures at the Masaryk University in Brno in au- tumn 2014 already contained a summary of the state of research and - ter, with only minor updates and corrections. Repetitions of some of theoretical reflection at the time. This is shown in the second chap the content in further parts of this book are a deliberate procedure, allowing to determine how the further development of this original concept progressed. Plenary speech at the International Martial Art and Combat Sports Scientific Society (IMACSSS) Congress in Portuguese Rio Maior in 2016 [Cynarski 2016, 2017], and introductory lecture at in Poland – health, social, educational and philosophical martial arts” the National Scientific Conference “Inoculation of Japanese culture by the proposed the General Theory of Fighting Arts. This content in Łódź in 2017 are a description of the scope of the issues covered is included in Chapter 3. Next 12 chapters is a discussion of individual dimensions and aspects of broadly understood martial arts – from utilitarian (self-de- fence, self-healing), through teaching and training methodology, to philosophical and sociological issues. In some cases, these are texts that are a continuation of research and work previously published, while others are completely new. The author does not take up topics in which he is not compe- tent, such as “legal aspects of practicing9 martial arts”. These were Martial Arts & Combat Sports: Towards the General Theory of Fighting Arts shown well in the book edited by Marzena Netczuk-Gwozdziewicz and Robert Netczuk [2017], or earlier by Raczkowski [2008]. Separate works show biomedical aspects – nutrition, attitudes towards health or rehabilitation [Zeng, Cynarski, Xie 2013; Netczuk-Gwozdziewicz, Netczuk 2017: 183–266] or psychological [Vit, Reguli 2011; Krzy- zanowski, Przybylska 2012; Skorupa 2017]. designed for judo [Erdmann, Zieniawa 2011], and in dispersed articles Studies in the field of biomechanics in martial arts are, so far, well – for taekwondo and karate. This issue requires further, team-based studies, already implemented under IPA and IMACSSS [cf. Maroteaux 2012]. Sociology and philosophy of martial arts, already taken in earlier works of the author [cf Cynarski 2004, 2010, 2012; Bolelli 2008; Shahar 2008], perhaps they . Kim, Back 2000; Cynarski, Obodyński 2003; deserve a separate, broader study. The author tried not to repeat the content published in his previous books here.

JULY DOJO KUN Karate ni sente nashi - There is no first attack in karate NAGINATA Naginata is one of many weapons taught at the Arizona School of Traditional Karate (Seiyo Hombu). Many of our members have already been introduced to this weapon. The naginata is rarely seen in most martial arts schools, although it was relatively common on the Japanese battlefields during the reign of the samurai. Certifications (menkyo) in naginata are typically given in Koryu dojo, although there are modern Gendai dojo that offer dan ranks in naginata-jutsu. Rich Mendolia prepares to attack Ryan Harden during naginata training. My introduction to naginata (なぎなた, 薙刀) occurred a few decades ago at the JKI Hombu. When I trained at the JKI Hombu in this art, most wore a white or black uwagi (jacket) or keikogi hakama as naginata is a very traditional Japanese art. For those of you who have not trained in hakama, it is a clumsy piece of clothing particularly for men, as it is bloused, pleated pants that is very easy to trip over until one gets use to it.

  • Hiroo MOCHIZUKI Soke De L’École YOSEIKAN BUDO
    Hiroo MOCHIZUKI Soke de l’école YOSEIKAN BUDO To the Yoseikan world Salon-de-Provence, 27th December 2013 This year 2013 is marked by the 10th anniversary of the death of my father, Master Minoru MOCHIZUKI, first Soke of the Yoseikan School. As I was chosen to be his successor concerning the Budo of the Yoseikan School, I felt all the weight of the responsibilities for this legacy, as far as passing down and improving the School knowledge as well as ensuring its continuity is concerned. With this letter, I want first of all to thank his closest pupils for their support during this mission and especially for their efforts to preserve the spirit of work, research and uprightness that has been my father’s since the founding of the first Hombu dojo Yoseikan in Shizuoka (Hitoyado cho) in 1931. As Soke of the Yoseikan School since 2000, it is my duty to publicly remind everyone of the official list of experts who were awarded the diploma “Menkyo Kaiden” (*) by my father almost twenty years ago. It was published at his request in April 1996 in the journal of his international organisation BUDO YOSEIKAN. 1. MOCHIZUKI Hiroo 2. MURAI Kyoichi (†) 3. SUGIYAMA Shoji 4. MOCHIZUKI Tetsuma 5.

    VALLEY AIKID MEMBERS GUIDE By: Julia Freedgood Design: Liz Greene Photography and concept: Special Thanks to Shannon Brishols, WHAT IS AIKIDO? RL Sarafon, Skip Chapman Sensei and the Greater Aikido Community Aikido is a traditional Japanese martial art practiced for self development and defense. The word Aikido means “the way of harmony with ki.” Ki is hard to translate, but can be understood as breath power, spirit or universal life force. Morihei Ueshiba, or O-Sensei (great teacher) created Aikido in the early 1940s. A master of several classical Japanese martial arts (budo) including judo, kendo and jujitsu, O-Sensei developed Aikido to respond to the modern world. According to his son, Kisshomaru Ueshiba, Aikido is orthodox because it inherits the spiritual and martial tradition of ancient Japan .

Instead, the path of Aikido leads to “victory over self” and is realized in the quest for self perfection of body, mind and spirit. Thus, unlike martial sports, Aikido avoids competition and VALLEY AIKIDO does not allow tournaments. Instead, it stresses collaborative practice allowing all students to pursue their individual Valley Aikido was founded by Paul Sylvain, shihan in 1985 to potential in an atmosphere of shared knowledge.
