2025-01-31T03:07:07+00:00

Studi Purpose As the future of the motherland and the hope of the nation, primary school students shoulder the historical mission and important task of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The current stage of primary education has become an important position for the popularization and promotion of Chinese martial arts. At present, physical education teachers in primary schools do not know enough about the characteristics of students' physical and mental development, which leads to the inability of physical education teachers to carry out martial arts teaching scientifically and effectively. Therefore, this study mainly adopts the literature method to study the characteristics of physical function development and psychological development of primary school students, and reveals the influence of different physical function and psychological development characteristics on wushu teaching in primary school. Research shows that primary school students are at a critical stage of physiological and psychological development, and the development of bone, muscle, respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems is not mature. Teachers should consider these physiological characteristics when designing Wushu courses to avoid excessive load and ensure that students train in a safe environment. At the same time, the psychological development of primary school students is also in a stage of rapid change, with an intense curiosity and imitation ability. However, the attention and willpower are relatively weak. Therefore, the teaching method should focus on stimulating students' interest, cultivating good emotional expression and teamwork ability, and promoting the development of their memory, thinking and comprehensive quality through effective teaching design, so as to provide scientific and effective countermeasures for primary school physical education teachers to carry out martial arts teaching, so as to better popularize and promote Chinese martial arts in the primary education stage.

General Karate: A New Compromise Between Budo and Sport in Modern Western Society

2025-04-12T04:59:58+00:00

Studi Purpose: Today, in the modern West, karate exists in two systematically different paradigms: Budo and Sport, which are in a state of constant competition for a place and influence in society. In recent years, there has been a tendency to shift the focus of Western society towards Sport, which poses real challenges to Japanese style Budo karate: 1) the threat of becoming a typical Western sport; 2) the threat of marginalization and loss of authenticity and features of the Eastern combat system.

Method. The review and analytical study is a summary of the results of the author's previous research and is based on his many years of practical experience in both Budo and Olympic sports. The working hypothesis of the study is to determine the potential ability of the sport discipline of General Karate to become a new compromise between Budo and Sport and to be an effective means of protecting karate from modern challenges and strengthening the influence of authentic Japanese style karate in the West. The article is the presentation at the 13th International Conference IMACSSS, 14-16.10.2024, Malaysia.

Result and Discussion. The article provides evidence that Budo and Sport are fundamentally different social phenomena that cannot be evaluated solely in terms of sports competitions. The author uses a civilizational-historical approach and analyzes the structural construction of the Budo and Sport paradigms, respectively.

Conclusion. The author considers the compromises made by the East in promoting karate to the West and the assertion that General Karate can be a new compromise that meets the needs of Westerners in top-level competitions and, at the same time, does not require the style to change its own identity, abandon the traditional training strategy or make any concessions to its own philosophical principles.
