Chess with Cardio
View through CrossRef
This chapter extends the consideration of martial arts as play by investigating sparring as a game—a structured, rule-bound interaction that balances playing and winning—and competition fighting as a sport: a spectacle that hinges on an outcome. The importance of rules to sport fighting is considered, as rules make the game and ostensibly assure fairness, although the latter proves elusive in light of the social and economic variables that render access to training uneven. This chapter treats sparring as an exploration of disagreement, contrasting it with interactions in the public sphere where a lack of physical presence enables incivility.
