Martial Arts and Well-being
Author: Carol Fuller
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315448068
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
Martial Arts and Well-Being explores how martial arts as a source of learning can contribute in important ways to health and well-being, as well as provide other broader social benefits. Using psychological and sociological theory related to behaviour, ritual, perception and reality construction, the book seeks to illustrate, with empirical data, how individuals make sense of and perceive the value of martial arts in their lives. This book draws on data from over 500 people, across all age ranges, and powerfully demonstrates that participating in martial arts can have a profound influence on the construction of behaviour patterns that are directly linked to lifestyle and health. Making individual connections regarding the benefits of practice, improvements to health and well-being – regardless of whether these improvements are ‘true’ in a medical sense – this book offers an important and original window into the importance of beliefs to health and well-being as well as the value of thinking about education as a process of life-long learning. This book will be of great interest to a range of audiences, including researchers, academics and postgraduate students interested in sports and exercise psychology, martial art studies and health and well-being. It should also be of interest to sociologists, social workers and martial arts practitioners.

Publisher: Penton Overseas, Inc
ISBN: 9781741570137
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
Generations ago, the banning of weapons in Okinawa created the need for the study of an unarmed style of self-defense, and so the early forms of karate were born. Karate literally translated is 'kara' (empty), and 'te' (hand), or 'way of the empty hand'. Throughout history, many people have enjoyed the individual benefits of studying the art. Now your opportunity to practise conscientiously at home has arrived. Simply Karate is a guide to basic karate etiquette, attitude, technique and application. These are the foundation of your karate and should be rehearsed by the beginner and the advanced student alike. Author Mark Richardson discovered martial arts in Japan at the age of six and became a student of 'Kyokushinkai Karate' at age ten. His love of the art and his competition experience sparked an interest in boxing and other martial arts, developing in him a positive attitude and interest in health and fitness. Simply Karate follows Mark's other successful titles, the kick boxercise workout DVD and book FIGHTING FIT; and the cardio and strength workout DVD and book SIMPLY BALL & BAND. "If you fall in love with the art of karate as I have, you will develop a devotion to the fitness aspect of your training as you concentrate more and more on perfecting your technique, speed and power." - Mark Richardson Karate will ultimately affect your whole body. Your flexibility will increase, along with your physical fitness, and as a consequence your strength and stamina will also improve. Join Mark on the journey through Simply Karate. Your karate and your body will both benefit from the book and DVD workout. Book jacket.
