JOURNAL OF ASIAN MARTIAL ARTS THE YI JING IN THE MILITARY THOUGHT OF TOKUGAWA JAPANAlmost all military schools employed the Yi Jing in one way or another. The Yi Jing played an important role in the history of military thought in Japan. It was significant in three different periods. First, from the Heian to Sengoku periods, the Yi Jing carried a strong yin-yang or Daoist tome and was affiliated with military oracles. Second, during the first half of the Tokugawa period, the Yi Jing resumed its Confucian role, and its yin-yang wu xing doctrine was accepted as the central philosophy by many newly founded military schools. Third, during the latter half of the Tokugawa period, the Yi Jing became a bridge between traditional military thought and Western weaponary; it was used to explicate and rationalize the study and use of Western weaponary.SHOTO TANEMURA DISCUSSES THE ROOTS OF MODERN NINPO WARMING-UP FOR MARTIAL ARTS PRACTICE - SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATIONS Warm-up has significant effects on the body's temperatures, the cardiovascular system, and the active muscle tissue. The cardiovascular system responds to exercise by redistributing blood flow from the gut and inactive muscle tissue to the muscle tissue that is performing the work. During exercise, the heart increases the rate that it pumps blood by as much as five times above rest. Furthermore, since the heart is more susceptible to damage when performing moderate an high intensity exercise from rest without warm-up, a light intensity warm-up is crucial to avoiding excessive stress to the cardiovascular system. DONN DRAEGER AND THE INTERNATIONAL HOPLOLOGY SOCIETY Technical Hoplology is the study of environment factors, materials, and production processes and their relationship to the development of weapons, armor, and combative accoutrements. While this area of hoplology concentrates on the identification of natural agents that condition the making of weapons, it also includes a study of the impact of weapons on the environment. Great consideration is also give to the conservation of extant weapons and their methods of display and storage. Functional Hoplology is the study of the structure and organization of combative systems. This area of research includes the analysis and classification of combative systems, taking into consideration the functional application in each system's design and evolution. Training patterns are closely observed in terms of their relationships to real and idealized applications. This area also includes investigations of the reciprocal relationships between weapons and combative systems. Behavioral Hoplology is the study of the psychological and physiological factor's in humanity's combativeness and the development of combative capabilities. This includes the investigation of the variables which influence the evolution of combative systems. THE GAME OF GO & THE MARTIAL ARTS Go originated in China well before 1300 B.C. and, by tradition, more like 2000 B.C. Sometime around the sixth century A.D., the game reached Japan, where it took deep roots. A go board is marked with a nineteen-by nineteen grid, and stones are played on the grid's intersection. This means that a go board has 361 playing points, all empty at the start of a game (unless the weaker player is given a handicap), compared to sixty-four playing spaces in Western chess, half of which are occupied at the start of the game. The object of a go game is to surround open sectors of the board, known as "territory." Once played, stones are not moved unless captured. A capture occurs when a stone or group of stones is completely surrounded by stones of the opposite color in such a way that all adjacent intersection spaces can be filled, including those internal to the group. In effect, a group is captured (or "dies" - both words are used interchangeably) by a process like choking. A group is "alive" once it has two or more completely separate points of internal territory known as "eyes." Because an opponent can attack only such point at a time, he will himself be captured before he can do lethal damage. The winner of the game is the one who surrounds the most points of territory, not necessarily the player who captures (or kills) the most stones. KOREAN MARTIAL SPORTS Taekwondo and other Korean martial sports are very often thought to be derived from the hwarang group from the Silla dynasty. This notion, however, is most likely erroneous as was pointed out elsewhere. The available historical sources seem to indicate that there is no reason to assume that the hwarang were in any way related to the development of taekwondo or any other Korean martial sport as the Japanese samurai were to the development of classical bujutsu and classical budo. Actual usage of the word "hwarang" shows a wide variety of interpretations other than one solely of martial significance. The best translation for hwarang is "flower boy" and not "flower of youth" or "flower of manhood" or any other similar rendering. MANIWA NEN-RYU Maniwa Nen-Ryu has very few forms (kata). There are three levels of sword training, the first with five forms, the second with three, and the third with ten. There are also five naginata-against-sword forms, and five very cryptic forms which feature a nine-foot spear with a small crossbar against a twelve-foot spear. In addition, they practice blocking arrows in flight with a sword (yadomejutsu). These forms are very clearly the application of general principles of movement rather than the playacting of combat sequences. REMEMBERING ZHENG MANQING Zheng Manqing was a famous Kung Fu artist who died in1975. AN INTERVIEW WITH HOU FAXIANG CONCERNING QIGONG PRACTICE Qigong is an ancient Chinese healing art and a regimen of slow movement exercise with controlled breathing and focused concentration, employed to restore and maintain good health and internal strength. Qi is the vital life energy which flows through all living things. The goal of qigong is to circulate, build, and balance qi throughout the body to promote physical and mental well being. Qigong is a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medical theory and has been practiced for over two thousand years in China. It continues to be practiced today throughout Asia and is beginning to gain popularity the world over. Qigong also shares many similar principles with yoga, taifi, and other forms of Eastern exercise and philosophy which focus on building internal and energetic strength and wholeness of body and mind. Hou Faxiang is a fifth generation master of qigong and has been practicing qigong as a form of exercise and a healing art for nearly twenty five years. CONTROL OF THE CENTER Control of Center is most readily appreciated in terms of balance. Even outside the dojo, it is not uncommon to hear someone described as being centered, and the description usually implies physical poise, emotional equilibrium, and focused intent, as evidenced in day-to-day interactions. The same qualities are prized within the dojo as well as in groups of individuals-such as military forces-expected to function as a unit. MEN OF STEEL DISCIPLINE: The Official Oral History of Black American Pioneers in the Martial Arts Men of Steel Discipline is an anthology of oral histories which record the living, autobiographical language of ten seminal African-American martial arts. MARTIAL ARTS AND JAPANESE NATIONALISM Throughout modern history physical education has been incorporated into school curricula to promote physical fitness and skolls necessary for national preservation. In Japan, a parallel phenomenon was occurring during the years before World War II. Military drills and the ancient Japanese fighting forms of sumo and kendo as well as Kano Jigoro's newly created judo were included in the public physical- education curriculum. MARTIAL ARTS BEHIND THE BERLIN WALL In Germany, martial arts was prohibited. There were three main reasons for the prohibition of martial arts: the perceived physical threat on the part of the authorities; the so-called martial arts life-style; and the communist party paranoia regarking anything different. The state viewed everyone as a potential enemy; no one was above suspicion. THE HISTORY AND LEGACY OF JAPAN'S KOKUSAI BUDOIN In November 1951, just after the ban on budo practice was lifted, several high-ranking Japanese martial artists gathered to decide on the course of action that would revitalize budo in Japan. this group included: Mifune Kyuzo, Ito Kazuo, and Sato Shizuya (judo); Nakayama Hakudo (iaido, kendo, and jodo); and Otsuka Hironori (karate-do). They determined that the best course of action was to organize and promote the first post-World War II national martial arts demonstration in Japan. As their plans progressed, Prince Kaya Tsunenori of Japan's Imperial Family joined to become their first Chairman. The group was named the Japan Health Association and, with the help of the budo community and the Imperial Family, they held the first All Japan Budo Exhibition in January 1952. The demonstration which took place at Hibiya Park in Tokyo was a resounding success. This success can be credited, in many ways, as the rebirth of traditional budo in Japan.
