Book is clean and bright throughout, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Mild external shelfwear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume presents an interdisciplinary investigation into the field of intercultural communication and interaction within the practice, transmission and institutionalisation of martial arts. Drawing from sociology, cultural anthropology, philosophy and physical education studies, the contributors examine how martial arts serve as dynamic sites of cultural dialogue, identity negotiation and philosophical transmission. Key themes include the role of traditional martial arts in preserving or transforming cultural values, the pedagogical implications of cross-cultural teaching encounters and the tensions between globalisation and local authenticity. Specific case studies explore the intercultural dynamics in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Polish martial arts communities, including practices such as karate, taekwondo, aikido and capoeira, offering both theoretical insights and ethnographic detail. The contributors also consider martial arts as platforms for ethical and spiritual development, as well as their role in cultural diplomacy, social integration and resistance. This volume contributes to the development of martial arts studies as a serious academic discipline and enhances understanding of how embodied practice and cultural heritage intersect in globally circulating traditions. -- Contents: Dimensions, Conditionings, and Values for a Dialogue of Cultures / Stanislaw Tokarski; Humanism of the Today's Way of the Warrior / Wojciech J.
