MEMÓRIA DA DISCIPLINA DE LUTAS E ARTES MARCIAIS NA FORMAÇÃO EM EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA NO BRASIL

Abstract

Historical studies that refer to the training process are always welcome, however, it is also understood as essential to study the subjects that are and were part of the curricular arsenal of graduates. The present article aimed to highlight the historical trajectory and the insertion of the discipline of Wrestling and Martial Arts in the schools of professional formation in Physical Education in Brazil, identifying social actors and the places that allowed its process of institutionalization in the graduation. The documental research technique and thematic analysis were used as a method. Data were treated by context analysis. It was concluded that Wrestling and Martial Arts were present in the constitution of Physical Education in the country, however, the positions throughout the historical process created different fields: the field of training and the field of Wrestling and Martial Arts, showing that the maintenance of this discipline in the curriculum took place through a process of reproduction. This reality greatly impairs the positioning and intervention of professionals and technicians of Wrestling and Martial Arts in the market, suggesting further discussions about this profession in Brazil.
