O Jiu-Jitsu brasileiro na educação física escolar: a arte suave como ferramenta pedagógica

Abstract

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a fight that may have had its beginnings about 5,000 years ago and is of uncertain origin, but which has taken on a worldwide scale after arriving in Brazil through the Gracie family and can be considered as part of body culture, which is one of the basis of physical education. The present work aims to identify Brazilian Jiu-jitsu as a pedagogical tool in physical education classes. To achieve this goal, a bibliographic review study was used. The theoretical contribution used shows that although it has become part of the culture of the country and have been confirmed as a content of body culture, the modality still suffers from prejudice and is faced with restrictive arguments of the physical education teachers, but also presents arguments that overcome the restrictive ones and allow the treatment of such modality in the content of fight classes. During the analysis of the texts we identified that the authors bring the three dimensions of content as a possibility of dealing with the fight as a content and from them also the possibility of insertion of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in these classes. It is concluded that Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is rather a possible pedagogical tool for content classes fights in school physical education when put through the three dimensions of content brought by the authors.
