Using psychological and sociological theory related to behaviour, ritual, perception and reality construction, the book seeks to illustrate, with empirical data, how individuals make sense of and perceive the value of martial arts in their lives. This book draws on data from over 500 people, acrossall age ranges, and powerfully demonstrates that participating in martial arts can have a profound influence on the construction of behaviour patterns that are directly linked to lifestyle and health. Making individual connections regarding the benefits of practice, improvements to health and well-being - regardless of whether these improvements are 'true' in a medical sense -this book offers an important and original window into the importance of beliefs to health and well-being as well as the value of thinking about education as a process of life-long learning. This book will be of great interest to a range of audiences, including researchers, academics and postgraduate students interested in sports and exercise psychology, martial art studies and health and well-being. It should also be of interest to sociologists, social workers and martial arts practitioners. 606 $aMartial arts$xHealth aspects 606 $aMartial arts$xSocial aspects 606 $aPSYCHOLOGY / Social Psychology$2bisacsh 606 $aSPORTS & RECREATION / Martial Arts & Self-Defense$2bisacsh 606 $aSPORTS & RECREATION / Sports Psychology$2bisacsh 610 $aArts 610 $abeing 610 $aCarol 610 $acommunities 610 $aConnecting 610 $aFuller 610 $aHealth 610 $aLlyod 610 $aMartial 610 $apromoting 610 $aViki 610 $awell 615 0$aMartial arts$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aMartial arts$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aPSYCHOLOGY / Social Psychology 615 7$aSPORTS & RECREATION / Martial Arts & Self-Defense 615 7$aSPORTS & RECREATION / Sports Psychology 676 $a796.8 700 $aFuller$b Carol$g(Carol Louise),$0947554 702 $aLloyd$b Viki 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910359556403321 996 $aMartial arts and well-being$92242589 997 $aUNINA
