Analysis of the impact of training martial arts in relation to violent behavior

Namen diplomskega dela je analizirati vprašanje, ali sta nasilje in agresivnost povezana s treniranjem borilnih veščin, in sicer z judom in mešanimi borilnimi veščinami (MMA). V delu smo predstavili tradicionalno borilno veščino JUDO in mešane borilne veščine (MMA) vse od nastanka, začetkov v Sloveniji, športnih pravil, do tehnike in tekmovanj. V nadaljevanju diplomskega dela smo skušali povezati koncept agresivnosti in nasilja z omenjenima borilnima veščinama. Sprva smo definirali nasilje, iskali vzroke zanj in navedli nekaj vrst nasilja. Preverjali smo, ali je agresivnost v borilnih športih dobra in kako jo obvladati. Namen treniranja teh dveh borilnih veščin vsekakor ni spodbujanje agresivnosti in nasilja, temveč krepiti telo in duha ter ne nazadnje nadzor čustev in gradnja samozavesti. Nekaj besed smo namenili poškodbam v borilnih športih in nasprotnikom borilnih veščin ter predstavili različne poglede avtorjev o prednostih borilnih veščin in pozitivnih vplivih borilnih veščin na agresivno vedenje. V empiričnem delu smo s pomočjo vprašalnikov, razdeljenih med udeležence vadbe juda, MMA in študentov Fakultete za varnostne vede, preverjali tri hipoteze. Ugotovili smo, da so udeleženci vadbe borilnih veščin večinoma neagresivne osebe, ki niso naklonjene nasilju v družbi. Za omenjena športa je potrebna popolna zbranost, volja in poslušnost, kar pa vsekakor ni vrlina agresivnežev in nasilnežev. Vedno bodo obstajali posamezniki, pri katerih bosta izstopala agresija in nasilje. Borilne veščine tega ne spodbujajo, temveč pomagajo posamezniku, da agresivnost premaga tako, da se jo nauči kontrolirati in nadzorovati.The whole purpose of this thesis is to confirm or disprove the thesis that violence and aggression are associated with martial arts. In our case, judo and mixed martial arts (MMA). In this thesis will be closely presented the traditional martial art Judo and mixed martial arts (MMA) since its creation, beginnings in Slovenia, sporting rules, techniques and competitions. In the continuation of the thesis we have tried to connect the concept of aggression and violence with this two martial arts. Initially, we define violence, searching for causes and indicated some types of violence. We examined whether the aggression in martial arts is good and how to tackle it. The purpose of the training of these two martial arts is definitely not encourage aggressiveness and violence, but to strengthen the mind and body, and, finally, control of emotions and building self-confidence. A few words are devoted to injuries in martial arts and martial arts opponents, presented some different views of some authors of the advantages and positive effects of martial arts to aggressive behavior. In the empirical part, we are using questionnaires, distributed to participants in sports of Judo, MMA and students of Faculty of Criminal Justice and security, to shed light on all three hypotheses which we have set ourselves. We found that the participants of martial arts are mostly non-aggressive people who are not inclined to violence in society. These two sports require full concentration, will and obedience, which is obviously not a virtue of aggressive people and bullies. Always there will be individuals for which will stand out aggression and violence. Martial arts do not encourage, but help individuals to overcome aggression, so that they can learn to control and monitor it
