Designated Debater: Korean Alliance of Martial Arts (Planned) Moderators: Yamaguchi Kaori (University of Tsukuba), Alex Bennett (Kansai University) Symposium — Integrated Science of Budo Objective Japanese Budo has been successfully propagated throughout the world in this age of globalization. Respected as a competitive sport and as a cultural legacy, Budo has continued to gain a significant following. With this in mind, this symposium aims to provide a model for Budo’s scientific research from a global perspective. Budo studies maintains its originality as a field of academia in which research is conducted with a strong connection to its actual practice, rather than as separate entities. Thus, through the following three sessions it is intended that this symposium will be able provide a bridge between scholarly knowledge and the physical practice of Budo. Session 1 -“Budo Praxis” The first part of the symposium will look at Budo praxis around the world through the eyes of two panelists (a Japanese instructor teaching overseas, and a non-Japanese instructor). Through this session we hope to address the various challenges and difficulties encountered when teaching Budo in a different cultural milieu. Session 2 -“Budo Academia” The second part will investigate how Budo is being conducted around the world as an academic field through the presentations of two panelists specializing in the domains of natural science and the humanities. Starting with the scope of Budo research, tangible issues such as differing research methodology will be examined in this session, which will offer a broad overview of Budo studies internationally. Session 3 -General Discussion Following the presentations given in the first two sessions, we will consider how Budo as a field of academia can explore the various problems encountered in places where Budo is practiced throughout the world. Conversely, we will also reflect on how can findings gleaned through Budo studies can be mirrored in its actual practice based on the opinions of the panelists. We hope that this dialogue will point the way for cooperation between academia and practice in the world of Budo, and demonstrate potential themes for the future.
