Indeed, it is in these unique responses that most martial arts distinguish themselves. However, this paper examines the role of the aggressor during training; specifically, in the martial art of Aikido and draws an analogy between the role of an aggressor during Aikido practice and the actions of a member of the loyal opposition in a democracy. A commitment to a set of rules that govern and protect the participants and a commitment to maintain a rich, creative tension mark both the vibrant interactions of an Aikido dojo and democratic life in a multicultural society.</span></span></span></p>

Abstract From the 4th – 7th of July 2016, the annual International Medieval Congress was held in Leeds, England. Among the many different sessions two specifically addressed historical European martial arts. The first session discussed and commented upon modern practices and interpretations of historical European martial arts, each paper being based on good practice and the proper criteria for academic research. The second session, in which this paper was presented, went more “behind the scenes”, discussing the importance of thorough analysis of the historical context which remains essential to forming a foundation for solid hypotheses and interpretations. This article discusses and sheds light upon Danish historical martial art during the reign of the Danish King Christian IV (r.1588 to 1648). At this point in time Europe consisted of many small principalities in addition to a few larger states and kingdoms. Thoughts and ideas could spread as quickly as ripples in water but also be bound by political and religious alliances or enmities, plague, famine and not to mention the role also played by topographical and cultural differences. Thus, at times, vast cultural differences could be seen from region to region. To this should be added a wide range of social factors, such as the role of relationships and mentalities, and the obeying of unspoken norms and codes which can also affect modern researchers’ interpretations of what is shown or described. Therefore, the aim of this article is to provide a series of “behind the scenes” examples which all have the potential to affect hypotheses, interpretations, and overall understandings of the context of historical European martial arts.

This study aims to describe and analyze the role of Mancak Padang dance at Urak Balabek ceremony in Nagari Pauh IX, Padang City. This research belongs to a qualitative research using a descriptive analysis method. The instrument in this study was the researcher itself and was assisted by supporting instruments such as writing tools, a camera, and a tape recorder. Types of data used were primary and secondary data. The data were collected through literature study, observation, interview, and documentation. The data analysis was done by collecting the data, describing the data, and concluding the data. The results show that Urak Balabek ceremony in Nagari Pauh IX Padang City is a ceremony held every 5 years. Urak Balabek ceremony is attended by all sasaran (martial art schools) in tapian (areas that have martial art schools) in Nagari Pauh IX. Urak Balabek ceremony is an activity to malewakan gala (title promotion of martial arts teachers) for martial art players and teachers to get a higher level of the title. The level of the teachers’ titles consists of 1. kako pandeka (first level), 2, niniak mamak (second level), 3. guru gadang (third level), 4. guru tuo (fourth level). All Urak Balabek ceremonial processions must be carried out because they are part of the appointment of martial art teachers starting from the procession to malewakan gala. The implementation of the malewakan gala (title promotion of martial arts teachers) is to achieve all levels of the existing titles. To achieve the title of guru tuo (lowest level) is from being teachers assistant (fighters who have good martial arts abilities). In the procession of malewakan gala, Mancak Padang dance must be performed by the teachers’ assistant and guru tuo. This is due to the fact that both guru tuo and guru gadang candidates must perform their abilities and skills to play the sword (mangilekan padang). After the performance of Mancak Padang dance, an oath and promise are carried out by guru tuo. Then the mimpantan (the persons who hosts Urak Balabek ceremony) first calls the title of guru tuo to the newly person appointed to have guru tuo status.The role of Mancak Padang dance at Urak Balabek ceremony plays a very important role due to the fact that it is performed and displays dexterity in playing the sword, so Mancak Padang dance is a medium which promotes the titles of martial arts teachers in the procession of mangilek an padang legalizing and validating gala or the teachers’ status to be appointed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ge Hong (284-363 CE) was an important intellectual figure of his time. He is known primarily for his interest in Daoist pursuits, including alchemy, as discussed in his writings titled One Who Embraces Simplicity (Baopuzi). However, the fact that he was also a military officer, who had practiced several weapons styles and who provides valuable insights into Chinese martial arts practices, has generally been ignored. This short article will attempt to outline Ge Hong’s contributions to our understanding of the role of martial arts in Chinese culture and society based on his personal experience and observations. Ge Hong viewed the martial arts as practical skills related to hunting (archery) and self-defense, not Daoist pursuits, and he mentions that some of these skills could even be seen in children’s play. His reference to Cao Pi (Emperor of Wei, 220-226 CE) sparring with General Deng Zhan reflects the place of martial arts among leadership in the political military system of early imperial China (206 BCE-960 CE). His explanation of oral formulas (koujue) is indicative of the secrecy maintained by martial artists concerning individual techniques.  </span></span></span></p>

Female Coaches

The purpose of this study was to reveal the success of female coaches in training elite sports. The method used was descriptive. The questionnaire was distributed to male and female athletes whom female coaches trained. The population involved in this study were eight female martial arts coaches (aged 25 to 45 years with training experience ranging from 5 to 15 years) and 72 martial arts athletes (35 male, 37 female) aged 15 to 40 years. The sport that was deliberately chosen was the martial arts sport. Martial art sport was chosen as female coaches in martial arts sports were still relatively few. The study results reported that there was a significant relationship between the leadership of female coaches and the performance of Judo athletes. Meanwhile, for Tae Kwondo, Tarung Derajat, Boxing, and Fencing sports, there was an insignificant relationship between female coach leadership and athlete achievement. Therefore, it is suggested to provide opportunities for female coaches to train martial arts sports.

Martial art practitioners, in an effort to utilize inner energy (ki) and to eliminate fear, often turn to ascetic discipline. Mountain ascetics called yamabushi are known for their extreme, life-threatening training methods. Some of them, after ten years of mental and physical preparation, buried themselves alive, aspiring to become living Buddhas. This is the relatively unknown practice of self-mummification: a tradition that originated with Kukai, the founder of Shingon Buddhism. Approximately twenty individuals in Japan have successfully mummified themselves by means of ascetic discipline and special diets. The frame of mind developed while preparing for their deaths is the same mind-set that warriors strive to attain. Single-minded determination, the complete absence of fear, and the nonexistence of self are demonstrated in the actions of these individuals. These are the same qualities that are found in any master of the martial arts.</span></span></span></p>

Integration Of Immigrants

The article is devoted to the current problem of the shortage of qualified labor in the Federal Republic of Germany and the question of whether the country's economy is acquiring potential specialists for the labor market from among immigrants. The author emphasizes that without successful integration of immigrants, it is impossible not only to acquire human capital for the country's economy, but also there is a real threat to state security in Germany. The article examines what qualities or system of qualities immigrants should acquire in order to increase the level of professional activity component of their ability to integrate into the host country's society, specifies the goals of pedagogical communication in this process and the importance of the adoption of the Skilled Workers Immigration Act (Fachkräfteeinwanderungsgesetz). The author comes to the conclusion that the professional and activity component formed by the immigrant demonstrates its full integration into the business world and multicultural society of Germany.
