competition karate, karate squad, karate club in basingstoke, karate for teenagers, cadets karate, Initial Briefing for 2nd Dan grading research topic by Jess Muller

 

My topic is to research the differences between Martial Arts and the areas within them. I will be looking at the three main areas within Martial Arts i.e. Fundamentals, fighting and katas/forms, and will be discovering how to:

distribute your time between the three areas

* how to find out which area is right for an individual

* the differences between a beginner and advanced individual practicing them.

Within the Martial Arts I will be looking at the differences between how people are taught and learn: Muay Thai, Karate, Judo, Tai Chi, Jeet Kun Do and Aikido.

I will be carrying out my research through the internet and martial art books from the libraries, and any other methods of research that is appropriate at that time and for the subject, i.e. I may choose to include photographic/video evidence and interviews.

I will prove my findings by cross checking them with other resources – other sites/books.

I will be presenting my findings through word documents in the form of essays or in PowerPoint Presentations.
