Summary:Problem. From the perspective of the philosophical anthropology of martial arts, the problem of purpose was raised through martial arts. In particular varieties these are different roads, travels and travellers. What does it look like from the perspective of teleology? Method. The hermeneutic method was used to understand the sense of structures or character formations. Texts, signs and symbols are examined in search of their deeper meaning. The contexts covered were: 1) codes in which a given sign or their team operates; 2) social, historical and cultural systems; 3) contexts of circumstances of the current existence of the signs. Results. In the essay, the conceptual language was established, the teleological canon was presented, and a series of examples was given. Symbolism comes from the various cultural contexts and different historical periods of the countries where individual martial arts were born. In general, the advisability of sports is significantly different from the advisability of following the ways of martial arts in their traditional understanding. Conclusions. The diversity of goals and senses of martial arts paths results from their multiformity. Sometimes the pursuit of internal harmony (mind-body and soul) and with the world of nature or in social relations is most emphasized. Very often the main goal is to improve your character, self-discipline and self-improvement. Sometimes it is only about getting a package of utilitarian skills.
