I am taking a cultural anthropolgy class this semister and we have to do a project of observing another culture. I am going to try to do this on the culture of martial arts.
I know MA is influenced by the culture where it originated (i.e. Japanese arts, Chinese arts, Western arts ect.) I think despite there being different cultural origins there are some things that are a common thread within all martial arts. I would like to hear your ideas on this. Any thoughts at all, including if you think its a bad idea, or can't be done.
Thanks in advance.
