The purpose of this study is to analyze the KMA's physical education program and explore it's future directions. This study is a qualitative research, by the way of a case study. The study period was eight months and commenced from January 2010. To collect data 3 methods were adopted: Class observation, open questionnaire, and in-depth interviews. As a pilot study literature on physical education programs of domestic and foreign military academies were analysed. Hence directions for the main study were identified. As the main research, class observations of five subjects were administered for 3 months, questionnaire from 3 professors and 20 cadets were collected and from among them in-depth interviews of 3 professors and 6 cadets were gathered. Data analysis were conducted through 'individual case histories' and 'inductive analysis category'. To ensure the validity of the research, peer consultation, member checking, and triangulation validation methods were used. Results of this study are as follows:First, the physical education program can be classified in to 5 main categories; ‘Physical Education', ‘Club activity', ‘Cadets' sports activities', ‘Physical fitness test, and ‘Sports events(sports festival)'. Second, cadets recognized the purpose of physical education program participation as a need to acquire physical fitness and motor skills, yet the professors recognized Physical Education Program as cultivation for various qualities necessary for officers. Third, the problems of physical education program were classified in terms of external and internal aspects. External aspects of the problems are 'Biased purpose', 'Narrow choices', and 'Institutional limitations'. Internal aspects of the problems are 'Non-passioned participation', 'Undifferentiated class', and 'inefficient management'. Fourth, the suggestion for future directions of physical education program were based on the problems illustrated. In respect to the external side there is a need for; 'realization of the greater benefits of Physical Education Program ', 'expand the opportunity to choose', and 'improvement of institutional limitations'. On the inner aspect; 'enhancement of educational objectives for cadets', 'creative teaching methods', and 'effective classroom management'. In conclusion, KMA's physical education program bears potential to foster a holistic education. Therefore PE ought to aim for a holistic education. At present, PE aims merely at attaining physical fitness and motor skills. However for future directions this study suggests for PE to nurture for a 'whole' person, educating character and moral development.
