Abstract

In this article, it is demonstrated that Systems Science methods, which have been utilized for the development of Information Systems and software engineering applications, can be also applied for planning innovative martial training syllabi. These syllabi can be constructed according to standard processes of System Science, following the systemic concepts of decomposition, recursiveness, input/output and feedback. Their purpose is to meet special training requirements of specific target groups of practitioners or specific MAs. An example of Filipino Martial Arts syllabus is also briefly presented, aiming at the clarification of the described methodology.

Keywords:

martial syllabus, martial training, systems inquiry, systems science
