Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2012, Vol 8, Issue 8
Abstract
The failure of Polish insurrection in 1863 caused despair, moral and spiritual Decay, and lack of hope of independence in the Polish nation. During that time the idea of „Polish Sokół” came to life as an offshoot of the Czech „Sokół” movement. As a result, the organization was created in Lwów in 1867 and by the end of World War I the movement had its units („nests”) in all parts of Poland. The basic aims of partitioned Poland. The group’s aoal was to develop fitness, bot physically and mentally and to prepare young Poles to fight against aggressors. Some thought the „Sokół” socjety was created only to make Poland an independent country. Similarities and coincidence of historical and cultural context to Okinawa, Japan can be found. This city was also occupied by an aggressor resulting in the creation of martial arts. People of Okinawa didn’t have any weapons to defend against enemies leading to the birth of a new technique which helped them to fight effectively.<br/><br/>
