Aesthetics of the martial arts

Abstract

The past 15 years have seen an increase in interest in the martial arts by philosophers in the Anglo‐American tradition. Evidence includes two collections of essays and a book‐length study of the Asian martial arts from the perspective of western philosophy. In this article I summarize some of the most significant recent contributions to the philosophical aesthetics of the martial arts and suggest further areas for development. I begin in the first section with some general considerations regarding the martial arts as arts. In the sections that follow, I consider the martial arts in conjunction with three established areas of philosophical aesthetic inquiry: dance, sport, and everyday aesthetics. In the final section I offer some additional areas for development.

That is, the correlation coefficients and correlations calculated by two sequences using each other as reference columns are consistent and are not affected by other influences, with uniqueness, and the correlation coefficients are also unchanged when the sample size changes, with uniqueness.…”

Wushu routine is a composite sport that consists of multiple points and multiple surfaces that are fixed instantly; the movements of the wushu routine are complex and changeable; athletes need to have both ups and downs in training or competitions, and they also need to complete the movements accurately within a certain period of time, so as to show the aesthetics and ornamental performance of wushu routines [15][16].…”
