“…Furthermore, fighting skills and violence are often glorified and propagated in movies, television shows and other popular culture, 10 creating some unrealistic and/or untrue perceptions of MA as a collective. Thus, the incorporation of MA into school settings remains a challenge, partially due to school administrators' and teachers' safety concerns, and their perceptions of MA, and/or a lack of teacher training to deliver MA in an effective manner which meets curriculum objectives 11 …”

“…settings remains a challenge, partially due to school administrators' and teachers' safety concerns, and their perceptions of MA, and/or a lack of teacher training to deliver MA in an effective manner which meets curriculum objectives. 11 Within Australia, the New South Wales (NSW), Australian Capital Territory (ACT), South Australia (SA), Victoria (VIC) Department(s) of Education each currently provide specific safety guidelines and procedures for the teaching of MA within school contexts (NSW Government). 12 The guidelines suggest that MA is acceptable for implementation in both Primary and Secondary schools (assuming the safety guidelines are followed), but it is unclear whether teachers in these states are aware of these guidelines, and data confirming if and when MA is used in schools does not exist.…”

Purpose This study investigates views and beliefs of current and preservice teachers regarding martial arts (MA) and the inclusion of martial arts in schools. Methods Participants completed an anonymous, 28‐item questionnaire made available online via Qualtrics (August–November 2020). Data was analysed using SPSS software to compare mean scores by sex, and between qualified teachers and preservice teachers. Qualitative data in the form of quotes was drawn upon and used to complement the quantitative results. Results Results indicate teachers and preservice teachers view MA as a worthwhile and beneficial activity for school‐aged students, and support the inclusion of MA into school settings. Conclusion These findings may be useful to inform policy and practice in schools, and the development of teacher education programs, professional development courses, and school‐based education programs utilizing MA to meet physical education learning outcomes.

Martial arts education has a relatively comprehensive educational function. Compared with other educational methods, it has some unique features. When martial arts education carries out moral education, it not only attaches importance to the teaching of moral norms but also requires martial arts practitioners to practice moral norms, so martial arts education is more practical in improving moral literacy. In fact, the role of martial arts education is far from just playing its role in strengthening the body. This kind of prejudice of mindset conceals the diversity characteristics of martial arts education. This paper proposes to apply artificial intelligence technology in martial arts education governance, which uses the target tracking algorithm based on deep learning to track and analyze the movement of martial arts practitioners. At the same time, this paper uses the pose estimation algorithm of coordinate regression to predict the key points of the human body from the global perspective of the human body and then locates the key points of the human body from the features. It greatly simplifies the prediction of key points and solves the problem of nonstandard movements of students in martial arts education. The experimental analysis part includes the results and analysis of the impact of AI-based flipped classroom teaching on students’ martial arts learning and the comparison and analysis of students’ martial arts learning in the two classes after the experiment. The analysis results show that the P values of the four aspects of learning interest, active participation attitude, independent exploration ability, and analysis and problem-solving ability of the two classes are all less than 0.01, indicating that there is a significant difference.

In particular, the authors emphasized that Taekwondo is extremely helpful for students who are unfamiliar with team sports or those who are isolated.…”

This study aims to determine why Korean parents provide adolescent children with continuous physical education through Taekwondo. The Q methodology was applied. The final 25 Q-samples were selected by composing the Q-population. Twenty parents who provided their children with Taekwondo education for more than 10 years were designated as the P-sample. Q-sorting was performed on the P-sample. Centroid factor analysis and varimax rotation were performed using version 2.35 of PQ method program. The study observed four factors with a total explanatory variance of 69%. Types 1 to 4 (N = 5, 7, 5, and 3) pertained to a powerful means of enhancing mental health, the driving force behind stable school life and social development, improvement in psychological and social areas for a successful transition to adulthood, and increased awareness of the values of Taekwondo and importance of physical activity, with eigenvalues of 4.59, 6.42, 3.16, and 1.18 and explanatory variances of 0.16, 0.32, 0.12, and 0.09, respectively. Furthermore, consensus statements for each type were investigated as Q18 and Q17. These findings supported the academic foundation of proper Taekwondo education in adolescence and confirmed it as a powerful means of exerting a positive impact on adulthood.
