The increasing popularity of praxeological approaches in the social sciences over the past couple of years has initiated an ongoing theoretical discussion of the concept of tacit knowledge. However, these debates often fail to take into account concrete empirical studies. With her book "Fighting Skills: A Sociology of Practical Knowledge," Larissa SCHINDLER provides an ethnographic study that examines practices mediating tacit knowledge in the context of learning the martial art Ninjutsu. Next to an in-depth analysis of processes of knowledge transfer in Ninjutsu classes, SCHINDLER aims to contribute to broader sociological debates. In my review essay, I will discuss the methodological implications of SCHINDLER’s study, illustrate the analytic strengths of her work, and try to identify possible points of departure for future research. Even though SCHINDLER falls short of fully realizing her theoretical ambitions, she nonetheless provides an exceptional contribution to praxeological-microsociological scholarship with the potential to stimulate further discussion concerning matters of tacit knowledge and beyond.

In many organizations, and among many researchers, there is considerable resistance to the systematic large scale storage of survey data. Thereby, not only data storage but also work-flow organization and documentation are often left to the individual researcher. Such practice leads to inefficiencies due to a lack of positive specialization effects and to problems in traceability due to the existence of small-scale ad hoc solutions. I propose small scale solutions with survey data archives for individual institutes, projects or researchers that not only support comprehensive documentation but also raise awareness on survey-based projects' complexity and the resulting high demands for information. The proposed small scale solutions must adhere to common standards and need to be attractive for the user in order to motivate application. Attractiveness increases with elements like master-detail interfaces and tree-views that provide the user with immediate overviews and by a structure that allows for simultaneous work-flow organization and meta-data entry. The meta-database SuPER is described as a paradigmatic example of how a database could reflect the complexity of a survey data-based research project.
