Abstract

Martial arts organisations increasingly blend online and offline activity in order to cultivate specific qualities, skills and virtues. Students and instructors use blogs, chat fora, videos and podcasts to supplement their self- and shared cultivation, and this expanded with the COVID-19 lockdown in Britain. Martial arts schools have been closed and even disbanded while governments control people’s physical interactions through social distancing measures. This article draws on case studies of two British martial arts schools (Taijiquan and historical fencing) in order to examine how they have adapted to the lockdown. It offers these case studies to narrate the developments of how teachers and their localised communities have been creative during this moment of international crisis – from instructor-led online, live training sessions and lectures to student-led chat fora and movie nights for continued sociability and identity construction. In so doing, this article makes use of martial arts theories: Shared Cultivation (Jennings, 2010) and Martial Creation (Jennings, 2019) to explain how martial artists continue to develop through creative online endeavours and through their moving bodies within the confines of their homes. Finally, I argue that this creative martial arts cultivation during the COVID-19 pandemic might be extended to wider physical culture.

新冠肺炎封锁下的武术:创造性教学法的语用学
武术组织越来越多地将线上和线下活动结合起来,以培养特定的素质、技能和美德。学生和教师使用博客、聊天论坛、视频和播客来补充他们的自我和共享培养,随着英国新冠肺炎疫情的封锁,这种做法得到了扩大。武术学校被关闭甚至解散,而政府通过社交距离措施控制人们的身体互动。本文借鉴了两所英国武术学校(太极拳和历史剑术)的案例研究,以研究它们是如何适应封锁的。它提供了这些案例研究,以叙述教师及其当地社区在这一国际危机时刻如何发挥创造力的发展——从教师主导的在线、现场培训课程和讲座,到学生主导的聊天论坛和电影之夜,以继续进行社交和身份建构。在此过程中,本文利用武术理论:共同培养(詹宁斯,2010)和武术创造(詹宁斯,2019)来解释武术家如何通过创造性的在线努力和在家中移动的身体继续发展。最后,我认为这种在新冠肺炎大流行期间的创造性武术培养可以扩展到更广泛的体育文化中。
