Navigating the ‘Field of Tension’
This article, written by two martial arts scholar-practitioners, explores their evolving relationships with martial arts communities and academia. It critically engages with Islas and Jennings’ (2023) Typology of Martial Arts Scholar-Practitioners and compares their experiences as Budding Scholar-Practitioners (BSPs) in martial arts studies. Using a theoretical framework that integrates the typology with insider/outsider perspectives (Kelly, 2014…

Thi…

Su filosofía también hace hincapié en la naturaleza étnica y cultural híbrida de México, mezclando influencias indígenas, europeas y asiát…
