The internal logic of body fights and its implications for the teaching-learning process in school Physical Education classes

Abstract

Introduction: Viewed only as a means of protection and self-defense, the fights began to integrate all diferent pedagogical materials related to School Physical Education, becoming one content of this scholar discipline. However, their teaching-learning process is still neglected. Objective: In this perspective, the present research aims to understand the internal logic of body fights from the CAI Classification System and the guard distance, pointing out its implications in the teaching-learning process of these modalities. Methodology: For this, was realized a bibliographical research, it was possible to present a possibility to guide the teaching-learning process of the body fights, from Motor Praxeology concepts and propositions. Results: According to the CAI Classification System, it was found that the body fights are opposing sociomotor practices, carried out in a standard physical environment. Regarding the guard distance, these modalities can be classified as almost zero distance, reduced distance, medium distance and great distance. Final Considerations: Through the understanding of the internal logic and distance of guard of these modalities, the teacher can guide and organize his pedagogical practice in Physical Education classes.
