Aggressive Attitude

Health problems in society are numerous, not least stress and stress-related illness. Physical activities, including martial arts, are increasingly viewed as a means of managing such risks to health. While there are forms of karate that have a philosophical and meditative character that is related to spiritual wellness, karate as a competitive sport is less likely to be thought of in this light. The purpose of this paper is to present through a participant observation study the representations that karateka of the dojo, make of sportive karate as a resource to achieve wellness. Drawing on an eight months' immersion in the dojo, we identify five themes that express these karateka's views of sport karate and wellness, the importance of fitness, beauty in punches and kicks, how to embrace fear, the aggressive attitude as a posture in life, and the superiority given by control. The findings lead us to reflect on the need for further research to see if they are repeated in other martial arts, and if many more groups find wellness as a primary motivation for their participation.

For Indigenous women, gender intersects with cultural and racialized identities to create complex inequities in health and healthcare. The experience of Indigenous women within the Canadian healthcare context is explored using the Xpey’ Relational Environments Framework. Relational environments that shape Indigenous women’s wellness encompass human and non-human interactions, healthcare and community settings, and sociocultural contexts. By framing determinants of Indigenous women’s health in this way, the chapter demonstrates the layered complexity of risk as well as opportunities for healing. Indigenous women over the lifespan are shown to have a disproportionate burden of illnesses and comorbidities that are situated within the foundations of colonialism, racism, violence, and a range of socioeconomic inequities. Sources of strength and resilience that nurture the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness of Indigenous women are highlighted.
