Thesis (M.A.)--Arkansas Tech University, 2015.

This thesis investigates modern martial arts as a form of global culture, particularly the connection between martial culture and the reinvention of tradition. The reinvention of martial arts has been essential for the promotion of nationalism, sport and physical culture, as well as military traditions around the world. Martial arts in Japan were supported by the imperial court and, later, by the samurai warrior class and the ruling shoguns. In 1868, after a long period of isolation, imperial rule was restored, the country experienced a rapid process of westernization, and martial traditions fell into decline. In the 1880s, Jigoro Kano reinvented Japanese martial arts with his development of the modern discipline of judo. In 1895, the Japanese government sought to strengthen nationalism with the formation of the Greater Japan Martial Virtue Society. Its purpose was to promote traditional martial virtues and standardize the martial arts disciplines. As the West sought to exert influence over Japan, the Japanese sought to export their reinvented martial traditions. Kano's judo movement emphasized international sporting competition, while the Martial Virtue Society supported Japanese nationalism and imperial expansion. The growth of modern martial arts traditions in Europe stems from cultural exchange between Great Britain and East Asia. New mixed martial arts were cultivated by British police and military advisors during the inter-war period and were expanded during World War II. American military advisors embraced these reinvented traditions during World War II and sought to apply them in the Cold War conflict in Vietnam. In the Soviet Union, Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin linked the importance of martial arts to the development of a nationalist physical culture for the masses, as well as to promote military supremacy. The Red Army and civilians were all required to routinely practice martial arts in order to promote Soviet power and dominance. A similar process unfolded in Communist China under Mao Zedong but with a greater stress on indigenous origins. As a result of these reinventions of martial traditions and the modern process of globalization, new forms of martial arts spread around the world in the modern era.
