In the course of the promotion, the National Government set up the central and local Martial arts centers as special promotion agencies of martial arts. It promulgated laws and regulations, requiring administrative organs and military forces to practice martial arts. It paid attention to the use of educational power, which was supplemented by the means of promotion.
