Abstract

In this brief article i make the argument that the first principles inherent in art, that is its formal components such as line, colour, composition and so on can be viewed as mechanism enabling a deeper aesthetic appreciation of sport. In this particular case the sport looked at is judo. If this thesis is correct, it implies an interdisciplinary field of study traversing art and sport, the humanities and the sciences and over turns the old Cartesian dualism in favour of a more integrated embodied experience.

Keywords: Judo; Aaesthetics; Art; Performance; Interdisciplinary
