DOWNLOAD EBOOKMartial 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn thousands of similar settings around the United States and Canada, groups of children, youth, and adults with varied kinds of disabilities could be provided with specially trained, planned and directed Martial Arts Therapeutic Recreational Services. Over the next two decades, this new field will become an important tool of rehabilitation and a key of specialization within the broad field of Professional Recreation. In a broad sense, Martial Arts is a recreation that provides important therapeutic benefits for all human beings. It offers the opportunity for physical activity, emotional release, social involvement, and creative expression essential for healthy personal adjustment. This is particularly true with respect to mental health. David E. Gray, author of "Exploring Inner Space," points out that tension, boredom, monotony and frustration in daily living contribute to emotional disorders for millions of individuals who are troubled by feelings of insecurity, alienation and depression. For many, creative and satisfying Martial Arts activities represent a vital tool for building sound mental health and for preventing disability.
