Style-Based Adult Martial Arts Group Communication Strategies and Their Impact on Socialization Patterns

The research explores communicative connections within adult martial arts groups, considering factors like martial art type, coaching style, and group dynamics. Physical education for adults extends beyond sports, emphasizing socialization. Analyzing communication strategies in Aikido and capoeira reveals distinct models that motivate sports in adulthood, foster a healthy group atmosphere, and support socialization needs. Aikido relies on a historical hierarchy, while capoeira lacks such structure despite strict technical standards. Both arts, non-competitive in adulthood, focus on recreational practice for joint mobility and maintaining physical well-being.
