Basic technical skills and psychological factors are important indicators in the Tarung Derajat martial arts. These factors must be trained in an effective approach so that the athlete's performance during the match increases. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the BMB3 approach in Tarung Derajat martial arts training in relation to mastery of BMB3, basic technical skills, and good character of athletes. The basic principle of this approach is that athletes are asked to analyze each activity (think), believe what they think (feel), do what is conceptualized (act), and understand what is being done (responsibility). This research is a true experiment with a two-group pretest-post-test control group design. A total of 80 male athletes from Tarung Derajat in West Sumatra, Indonesia were recruited for the study sample. 40 of them were for the experimental group (BMB3 approach), and the other 40 were for the control group (without BMB3/conventional approach). The data were obtained through tests of basic technical skills in punches and kicks, then a questionnaire for BMB3 mastery and good character. Data were analyzed using multivariable analysis of variance. The results showed that the experimental group was better than the control group, in mastering BMB3, improving basic technical skills, and building good character (p<0.05). The difference between the post-test averages of the two-groups was 19.60 for mastering BMB3, 1.72 for basic technical skills, and 17.53 for good character athlete. In conclusion, the BMB3 approach is very effective in mastering BMB3, improving basic technical skills, and building good character for Tarung Derajat martial arts athletes. This approach is expected to be useful as an alternative for coaches to provide effective training, so that athlete performance during matches increases. Future research is needed to test the effectiveness of the BMB3 approach with other types of approaches in different martial arts and larger sample sizes. © 2023 by authors, all rights reserved.
