-
What exactly is imparted when teaching martial arts? Which kind of effect-centered assump- tions exist? How do different contexts of instruction vary in their content and design?
-
How is teaching martial arts represented in societal contexts? Which role does the teaching of martial skills in movies, games etc. play?
