This article is a continuation of the research on personality in combat sports in karate. The authors’ goal was to verify the relationship between personality and age of kyokushin karate practitioners. The male national team of Ukraine in karate kyokushin (N = 7) participated in the personality study with the use of the Big Five model. The NEO-FFI (NEO Five-Factor Inventory) Personality Questionnaire was applied as a research tool and the package of statistical methods IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0 (IBM Polska, Warszawa, Poland) was used to compute the research results. The study showed that there were differences in the intensity of openness to experiences between individual samples only at the level of the statistical trend. Masters showed a higher level of openness to experiences in relation to juniors (p = 0.081) and seniors (p = 0.097). Also, a negative and strong correlation between the intensity of neuroticism and conscientiousness among the respondents was noted. A conclusion was drawn that, with age, karatekas probably manifest greater openness to experience, which is the result of their sports experience, high sports level and pro-health values of karate. On the other hand, good emotional adaptation of karatekas is strictly related to conscientiousness.

Parents will always want the best for their offspring. Nowadays, safety and security are something that everyone seeks. From the point of view of Maslow pyramid of needs, safety is on the second level after satisfying the physiological needs. In this article, we conducted two researches: on one hand, a qualitative study to discover the motives why parents urge their kids to train in different martial arts styles, and the latter, a quantitative research, to reveal which type of martial arts is better perceived on different social media platforms networks. The martial arts styles that we analyzed are: Aikido, Kyokushin and Shotokan. We have chosen these three styles as they are some of the best known and practice martial arts, especially want by children. Parents want their kids to develop in harmony, to consume their energy during practice as to get more focused at school and resolve their chores, be disciplined, stronger and more importantly be independent. Not being member of a team sport, the kid will rely only on his own power and capacity to deal with in different situations and not only. Studying and practicing karate, can also be a good protection for those who are bullied as a way of combating this kind of phenomenon that can have tremendous repercussions and even furthermore, to prepare them for the future. The recent incidents that happened both in the country and abroad, both inside and outside schools, can only reinforce the need to practice some defense sports.

Therefore, it is uncertain whether the results from prior research on S&C practices 10,11 are generalizable to other combat sports (e.g.…”

Strength and conditioning (S&C) is applied across various sports and levels. However, more evidence is needed regarding the practices and perspectives of those delivering S&C, with recent evidence in particular sports and countries showing that sports coaches and support staff are often tasked with this responsibility. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate judo coaches’ S&C practices and perspectives across different countries. Thirty-three judo coaches completed an online survey with six sections: (a) informed consent, (b) background information, (c) education, qualifications, and prescription, (d) views on S&C, (e) exercise selection and preferences, and (f) issues and improvements. Frequency analysis was used to report responses to fixed-response questions, and thematic analysis for open-ended questions. All respondents ( n = 33) reported S&C as “important” to “very important” for all judo aspects. The most important exercises prescribed were squats including variations for strength, weightlifting and derivatives for speed and power, judo-specific movements for agility and fitness, and stretching/mobility for injury reduction. Regarding perceived issues, disadvantages, desired improvements, and future developments in S&C, the most frequent responses were related to motivation, increased staffing, expertise, and technology integration, respectively. This study provides valuable information for those pursuing or currently delivering S&C within judo. Judo coaches can use the presented data to compare, align, and explain their practices with fellow coaches, athletes, and support staff.
