This effort might be helpful for setting up an ideal goal of physical education which prepares the future society of the 21st century. Also it could be a new vision of physical education for the 21st century. There are clear differences in the views of the world and the human being between Eastern and Western philosophies. The Western philosophy is based on the Descartes` dualism and the Newton`s materialism. On the other hand the Eastern philosophy is founded on the monism and the holistic thinking. This researcher names Ki-physical education which is based on Ki-theory from the view of Eastern philosophy. Ki-physical education could study the view of mind and body, the abdomen breath as the movement of body, the practice and effect of Ki, and the graft of Ki-theory to sports. Even if the materialism of Western philosophy has been studied quantitatively, Ki-physical education has to research in quality. The Eastern philosophy as the new paradigm of physical education makes a demand for lots of efforts and constant research of young researchers. And the researchers must have the ability to understand Chinese sentences. Also in order to active study of physical education on the basis of Eastern philosophy, it`s necessary to translate various special books and increase the number of researchers.
