IBU Budo Series Book 2: Budo in the Global Era: A Cross Cultural Analysis of Issues Pertaining to Globalisation (Preowned)

As we try to reassess the new cross-cultural nature of Japanese Budo in light of its recent rapid globalization, we will also try to appreciate the variety of problems which faces the pedagogy of globalized Budo.

The first section is a cross-cultural discussion of the martial arts of East Asia--specifically, Japanese Budo, Chinese Wushu, and Korean Bugei.

The second section addresses the various problems associated with Judo's globalization and then examines Judo's development in Germany.

Moreover, we study the problems associated with Kendo's internationalization, and finally, we discuss the ways in which foreigners conceptualize and understand Budo.

An appendix charts the historical international development of martial arts and sports in Japan, East Asia, and the West from the 15th century to the present.
