| Mar 13, 2017 at 13:17 | comment | added | Canned Man | I understand your point. I've further clarified (in case it was not already clear from the title of the question). | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 13:16 | comment | added | Sardathrion - against SE abuse | @CannedMan Including all other martial arts makes this question massively over broad and without a possible best answer. I would make clear that you do exclude other martial arts. | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 13:06 | comment | added | Canned Man | @Sardathrion The question is, as I believe us clearly written, 'What, if anything, did General Choi and his peers (then and current) have to day on [the subject of mental illness]?]' I purposefully did not exclude other martial arts, both because that could shed light on the subject, but also because taekwon-do is so heavily influenced by particularly Japanese martial arts (vz Shotokan). | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 13:03 | comment | added | Canned Man | I was looking for a better explanation as to how what he taught can give insight in how he/they considered mental illnesses in particular, and how they according to their teachings, should be met, evaluated and assisted towards their overcoming. | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 12:58 | comment | added | Canned Man | And just to clarify: Yes, I am also interested in what other martial arts have to say on the subject ('and his peers'). | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 12:37 | comment | added | Sardathrion - against SE abuse | Either the question is a general "mental health is all martial arts" and thus utterly over broad and should be closed. Or it is focused on the founders of TKD views. You cannot have it both ways. | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 12:25 | comment | added | mattm♦ | @CannedMan It sounds like you are probably more interested in what the Taoist-influenced martial arts have to say. It will take me awhile to write such an answer. | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 12:23 | comment | added | mattm♦ | @CannedMan By refined, you mean want more of the quotation of what Kano said, or a better explanation of what he said? If the former, I will not be able to add relevant much more from Kano that is relevant. | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 12:09 | comment | added | mattm♦ | @Sardathrion The answer covers "How to handle life and all the odd balls it'll throw at you", "philosophy of martial arts generally", and "how are mental illnesses¹ considered in the practicing of martial arts in the philosophical teachings of the old masters", though not for TKD. It also covers "both theory and actual performance of the practice in the training hall"; Kano's view was that randori was the most important element for mental development. | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 11:23 | comment | added | Canned Man | I think the relevant part might be 'As long as they believe that they have used their mental and physical energy most effectively, humans beings will never lose hope, nor will they suffer undue anxiety.' That might be stretching it, though. I suspect neither Gen. Choi nor any of his peers said much about the issue, considering their time, generation, and partially their culture. I would like to see this answer refined; it could very well be that there is something more in what follows. | |
| Mar 13, 2017 at 7:59 | comment | added | Sardathrion - against SE abuse | This has nothing to do with General Choi and his peers views on mental illness… Or have I missed something? | |
