 Intoduction to Martial Arts and Types
Martial Arts refer to any type of combat technique, often stressing
hand and foot combat.

Tarm is used to refer to self-defense techniques born in Asian countries,

although practices from all over the world can be counted in the definition.
Team Effectiveness

Mental discipline and the search for enlightenment are also part and
parcel of many martial arts. While some focus on using one's feet to
attack or disarm an opponent, other martial arts concentrate on the
use of one's hands

Popular martial arts are Tae Kwan Do, Kenpo, Judo, Hapkido,
Kung Fu, Akido, and Karate. Each of these stresses the art
form of the discipline itself. Through repeated practice of moves
, steps, punches, and kicks, students of these martial arts
develop, grace, strength, and mental discipline.

Grace, strength, and mental discipline are the goal of any student
of Martial Arts

winning is the ultimate goal.

fashion, all of these talents are joined to work toward a common goal.

 Stages of Team Development

Forming – Getting to know you

Can you recall your first day at school as a child,
or perhaps your first day on a new job?
Everyone is polite, overly cautious, and generally
doesn't know what to expect.
This is the first stage of group development -
Team Effectiveness

Storming - High Winds Predicted

Behaviors in the Storming stage
� Politeness begins to wear off and dissension
occurs over basic mission and operating
procedures.
� Control often becomes the primary issue.
� Who is going to decide what?
� Disagreements can be either very obvious or
subtle.

Norming - Charting a Course

Teams recognize their differences and have dealt
with them.
They ask, "How are we going to accomplish our
work?"
Teams will want to review how they are
functioning.
As Team Members learn to work out their
differences and emotional conflicts are
reduced, they will have more time and energy
to focus on their purpose.
Performing - The Action Stage
Final stage of team development
A Performing Team is
� a highly effective,
� problem-solving unit that
� can reach solutions quickly and
� can even head off issues before they become
problems.
