近代武道教授法の確立過程に関する研究(一)

抄録

Since the inauguration of the modern educational system, bujutsu military artists out of office demanded that budo military arts be put in the regular curriculums. To this, Ministry of Education and scholars on physical education argued that budo military arts was inappropriate for regular curriculum. They pointed out that budo military arts could be dangerous and that it lacked the unity of instruction program and of teaching method. They admitted, however, that it could be given as an extra curricular activity to male students who were fifteen years of age or older.
In order to change the attitude of Ministry of Education, bujutsu military artists employed the following two strategies: (1) to try to obtain as many people's consent as possible in the Parliament, and, (2) to try to obtain as many teachers' consent as possible by presenting “the teaching method of budo military arts” based on the experimental studies. The present study deals with the latter.
There were balically two problems to be solved on the part of bujutsu military artists out of office so that they could obtain teachers' consent, and eventually budo military arts could be put in the regular curricums. One is the dangerousness;“atemi (hit the vital point to make one unconscious)” in judo, and “men-dageki (hit the opponent on the forehead)” in kendo were considered to be particularly dangerous. The other is the lack of unity; each school had its own method and program.
Bujutsu military artists presented “Bujutsu-taisoho (a method to teach basic patterns of bujutsu military arts to a class all at once)”to solve the above-mentioned two problems at a time. Many people presented their own methods. Among them, the one presented by Ozawa Unosuke was very popular and it influenced the establishment of the teaching method of budo military arts very much.
