Título original: Gichin Funakoshi e as tecnologias políticas do corpo envolvidas na modernização do karatê / Orientador: Carlos José Martins / Banca: Sara Quenzer Matthiesen / Banca: Karla Adriana Martins Bessa / Resumo: Esta pesquisa busca refletir sobre as contingências que nortearam a emergência do Karatê moderno. Para tanto, objetiva-se investigar as práticas discursivas e não discursivas que o constituíram. Questiona-se como uma prática autóctone de uma região específica do Japão pré moderno vai se constituir, reinventando-se a partir dos novos modelos sociais e políticos, para atender exigências que o processo de transição coloca. A pesquisa visa investigar a modernização do Karatê, discutindo especialmente a reconfiguração dessa prática como arte marcial e também como esporte e interrogar as influências e importância de Gichin Funakoshi no conjunto desse processo, bem como as tecnologias políticas do corpo envolvidas. Para tal, são utilizados como principais referenciais metodológicos a Sociologia configuracional de Norbert Elias e a abordagem genealógica de Michel Foucault. A pesquisa é constituída por estudos bibliográficos e documentais sobre o assunto, bem como relatos de inspiração etnográfica. A sistemática da pesquisa mostrou Gichin Funakoshi estabeleceu emblemáticas e decisivas mudanças na prática que aprendera em Okinawa. Alterações essas que iam ao encontro das condições pelas quais o Japão passava: a modernização da sociedade e a formação de um Estado-nação japonês. A legitimação do Karatê acontece, então, pela racionalização de suas práticas discursivas e não discursivas e também pela sua configuração esportivizada / Abstract: This research intent to reflect about the contingencies that guided the modern Karate's emergency.Therefore, the objective is to investigate the discursive and non-discursive practices which constituted it. This research asks how an autochthonous practice coming from a specific region of pre-modern Japan, reinventing itself from the new social and political models, in order to overcome the demands that the transition process imposes. The research aims to investigate the modernization of Karate, discussing especially the reconfiguration of this practice as a martial art and also as a sport and interrogate the influences and importance of Gichin Funakoshi in the whole of this process, as well as the political technologies of the body involved. For this, Norbert Elias's configurational sociology and Michel Foucault's genealogical approach are used as the main methodological references. The research is constituted by bibliographical and documentary studies on the subject, as well as reports of ethnographic inspiration. The systematics of the research showed that Gichin Funakoshi established emblematic and decisive changes in the practice that he had learned at Okinawa. These changes were in line with the conditions under which Japan passed: the modernization of society and the formation of a Japanese nation-state. The legitimacy of Karate happens, then, by the rationalization of its discursive and non-discursive practices and also by its sportivized configuration / Mestre

Data evaluation is processed by basic statistic methods. Keywords: Karate, kata, kumite, dynamometry, symetry

Title: Selected motivational aspects for beginners and advanced in karate Aim: The main aim of my thesis was to learn how the current poor popularity of karate sport influences students of elementary and secondary schools in Prague and its surroundings and their motivation in this sport for achievements and at the same time to suggest how to furthermore support and expand motivation with these students. Methods: To gain information and data for this thesis I used survey methods and its specially designed questionnaire. Further additional interviews were used with advanced karate students with the highest ambitions and with former Czech Republic karate representatives (2006-2013) and compared with motivational aspect with these two different generations of athletes. There was second specially designed questionnaire for these additional interviews with a possibility for free answers. Results: Through the survey the differences in motivational aspects at beginners and advanced in karate were found and with additional interviews differences were found in ambitions and motivational aspects among former Czech Republic karate representatives and current advanced students with high ambitions in karate. Manager suggestions for motivation expansion with beginners and advanced karate people were also...

Many of Japan’s aesthetic, philosophical and cultural institutions were originated in China and India. This nexus created the basis for national unification by and through the use of the kata (trnsl: form or shape). Equally important is the component that integrates artistry into the kata, and eventually, into the kata of Shotokan karate. This particular occurrence compliments the historically important idea known as kokoro (mind-body-spirit), a Zen term but often synonymous with artistry and the artistic mindset. Kokoro can be seen as the product of cumulative intersections in philosophical discourse, framing Japanese beliefs in all things that led to a complex, yet unified expression of art, as well as a foundation for the inner constitution of each individual practitioner in the martial arts. More importantly, it involves a methodology known as Zen/Budo, referring to the separate but integrated spiritual practices of Zen, as it relates to traditional Zen philosophies. The second part of the conjoined term is Budo, the abbreviated version of Bushido (the “way” of the warrior) that guides the participant to a personal refinement of character and a deeper understanding of self. The combined representation of Zen and Budo summarize a highly regarded protocol for self-assessment and self-development. Thus, the afore-mentioned postulates are presented as the basis of this work. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2019. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Suas técnicas implicam em movimentos complexos de membros inferiores e superiores e que exigem do executante velocidade, agilidade, técnica, precisão e eficiente tomada de decisão. Devido a expansão no número de praticantes e de competições com exigência de nível técnico cada vez maior, seus praticantes assim como seus preparadores físicos e técnicos têm manifestado a necessidade de suporte científico na mesma proporção. Diante disto, o objetivo geral deste estudo é de determinar quais indicadores biomecânicos diferenciam o desempenho de atletas de diferentes níveis competitivos no Karatê durante a realização dos golpes Gyaku Tsuki e Mae Geri. Para tanto, foram estabelecidos os seguintes objetivos específicos: (1) analisar parâmetros dinamométricos durante a flexão e extensão isométrica e isocinética das articulações do ombro, cotovelo, joelho e quadril de atletas de diferentes níveis competitivos no karatê; (2) analisar parâmetros temporais da execução dos golpes Gyaku Tsuki e Mae Geri em atletas de diferentes níveis competitivos no karatê; (3) analisar parâmetros dinâmicos na execução dos golpes Gyaku Tsuki e Mae Geri em atletas de diferentes níveis de experiência no karatê; (4) analisar parâmetros coordenativos da execução dos golpes Gyaku Tsuki e Mae Geri e sua variabilidade em atletas de diferentes níveis de experiência no karatê; (5) analisar o relacionamento de parâmetros eletromiográficos de músculos envolvidos na execução dos golpes Gyaku Tsuki e Mae Geri em atletas de diferentes níveis competitivos no karatê. Para cada objetivo proposto é apresentado um artigo, nos quais foram avaliados 14 voluntários do gênero masculino, faixa etária de 18 a 35 anos, praticantes competitivos de Karatê, Faixas Pretas, divididos em 2 subgrupos: Grupo Elite (GE), 07.... / Karate is a sport widely practiced around the world, with its number of practitioners constantly growing. His techniques involve complex movements of upper and lower limbs and require the performer speed, agility, technique, precision and efficient decision making. Due to expansion in the number of practitioners and competitions with demanding technical level increasing, its practitioners as well as their trainers and technicians have expressed the need for scientific support accordingly. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine what biomechanical indicators differentiate the performance of athletes of different competitive levels in Karate while performing the Gyaku Tsuki and Mae Geri strokes. To this end, the following specific objectives were established: (1) analyze dynamometric parameters during flexion and extension isometric and isokinetic of the shoulder, elbow, knee and hip joints of athletes from different competitive levels in karate; (2) analyze temporal parameters of the execution of Gyaku Tsuki and Mae Geri strokes in athletes of different competitive levels in karate; (3) analyze dynamic parameters in the execution of Gyaku Tsuki and Mae Geri strokes in athletes of different levels of experience in karate; (4) analyze coordinative parameters of the execution of Gyaku Tsuki and Mae Geri strokes and your variability in athletes of different levels of experience in karate; (5) analyze the relationship of electromyographic parameters of muscles involved in implementing of Gyaku Tsuki and Mae Geri strokes in athletes of different competitive levels in karate. For each proposed objective is presented a paper, in which were evaluated 14 male volunteers, aged 18 to 35, competitive practitioners of Karate, Black Belts, divided into two subgroups: Elite Group (GE), 07 individuals, competitors at national or international level; and Sub-elite Group (GSE), 07 individuals, competitors at regional or state level.
