“…Judo is a sport of Japanese origin, founded in the late 19 th century by Jigoro Kano (Miarka et al 2011). Kano's vision was to develop a holistic model of physical education-one that would train body, mind, and spirit (Kano 1986(Kano /2005.…”

“…Kano's vision was to develop a holistic model of physical education-one that would train body, mind, and spirit (Kano 1986(Kano /2005. He created a system that consists of throws and ground techniques (such as chokes and armlocks) and named it judo, which means "the gentle way" (Miarka et al 2011). In his teachings, which are still influential today, judo was promoted as an inclusive sport that could be practiced by every citizen regardless of age, size or gender (Groenen 2012;Kano 1986Kano /2005Miarka et al 2011).…”

“Some Women Are Born Fighters”: Discursive Constructions of a Fighter’s Identity by Female Finnish Judo Athletes

et al. 2017

Martial arts and combat sports have been traditionally associated with masculinity, and a range of contradictory meanings have been attached to women's engagement and experiences. The present study draws on cultural praxis and feminist poststructuralist frameworks to explore how female martial artists are subjectified to dominant cultural discourses surrounding fighting and competition. Interviews with nine female judoka (judo athletes) were gathered in Finland and analyzed using Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA). The FDA revealed that in female judoka talk, judo was constructed as a sport for all, but also as a male domain and a manly sport with fighting and competition as innate masculine qualities that are not learned. Two sets of wider, competing discourses provided the dominant structure for participants' constructions of judo: (a) a mass sport discourse versus an elite sport discourse and (b) a gender equality discourse versus a female biological inferiority discourse. Drawing on this discursive context and in seeking to make sense of their experiences, participants constructed a "naturally born fighter" identity. Although this might be an empowering identity for female judoka, it does not advance the agenda of gender equity in martial arts because it constructs "ordinary" women as biologically incapable of competitive judo. Our findings reveal that even in the relatively egalitarian culture of Finland, gender hierarchies persist in judo and that it is only by disrupting prevalent constructions of fighting and competitiveness as masculine that progress toward gender equity can be made.

“…Enquanto nações com menor número populacional, como Portugal, França e Espanha tinham entre 31 e 37 instituições com curso de lutas, porém as grades curriculares dessas universidades também não mostravam o wushu como proposta de ensino (Gomes & Avelar-Rosa, 2012 vinculada a espetáculos com violência e à agressividade, conforme indicam estudos prévios (Ortega & Antunes, 2013;Menéndez & Fernández-Río, 2016;Mocarzel & Murad, 2013;Robles, 2008). Especula-se que outra questão pode ser referente ao fato de que as AM&EC foram predominantemente associadas ao sexo masculino ao longo da história (Miarka, Marques & Franchini, 2011), isso pode interferir diretamente na prática por escolares do sexo feminino. Particularmente, questões de gênero nas AM&EC são evidentes em âmbito escolar e, no caso do wushu, não tem sido estudadas com a atenção que merecem.…”

ResumoO presente trabalho investigou a utilização do wushu como ferramenta para o desenvolvimento motor, cognitivo e socioafetivo na escola entre professores de Educação Física (PEF) e comparou praticantes e não praticantes em conceito, compreensão e na aplicação de práticas ressignificadas no Ensino Fundamental I e II em São Paulo, no Brasil. Para isso, participaram 40 PEF, separados em dois grupos Praticantes de wushu (PW, n=27) e Não Praticantes de wushu (NPW, n=13). Todos responderam um questionário com 11 perguntas objetivas sobre a prática de wushu por escolares, com respostas em quatro escalas ("não atende", "parcialmente", "plenamente" e "supera"). Para comparar as respostas utilizou-se o teste de Mann Whitney, p≤0,05. O resultado mostrou diferença entre os grupos, na qual PW consideram a modalidade um sistema válido para ensinar aspectos relacionados com as artes marciais para escolares, enquanto NPW acredita ser pouco eficiente. Ambos os grupos indicaram o wushu, como uma atividade que atende e supera as necessidades de desenvolvimento motor, cognitivo e socioafetivo em escolares. Em contrapartida, cerca de 30% dos NPW indicou que o wushu é difícil para ser utilizado em escolares e 40% desse grupo informou que as práticas de wushu durante a formação na graduação foram apenas parcialmente ou não foram realizadas de maneira clara. Esses resultados sugerem a possibilidade de haver relação entre a experiência dos professores na promoção de determinadas modalidades, podendo estar o ensino das artes marciais dependente do fato dos professores serem ou não praticantes.

“…Although the competitive scene is still unequal between genders, with less Olympic modalities for women, female athletes are gaining their place on CS (Pasque, 2009;Miarka, Marques, & Franchini, 2011), what makes specific studies about this public necessary (Miarka et al, 2011), specially for a better understanding of the competitive dynamics. Besides, there are few studies investigating motor actions and no one investigating color bias and home advantage existence possibility on Wushu Sanda.…”

Introduction: Wushu Sanda is a mixed orientation combat sport in which athletes duel wearing red or black clothes. Despite its popularity, the knowledge about its technical and psychophysiological aspects are scarce. Objective: The aim of this study was to quantify the motor actions and the color bias and home advantage existence possibility in female matches from the 13 th World Wushu Championships, held in Indonesia, 2015. Material and methods: In an observational study were analyzed 46 matches involving 55 athletes. Each match was analyzed twice, and were considered 22 possible techniques (5 types of punches, 5 types of kicks and 12 different throws). All the motor actions were registered for each athlete, aside of match outcome, clothing color and continent of origin. Results: From all applied motor actions, 48.2% were punches, 46.9% were kicks and 4.8% were throws. Athletes applied 11±8.67 punches, 10.7±5.63 kicks and 1.1±1.6 throws per round. The number of throwing techniques applied on the first and second rounds was higher in winners (F=10.24, p=0.002 and F=7.82, p=0.006 respectively). No differences were found in motor behavior among distinct competitive phases (F(3;88)=1.87; p=0.140; η 2 p=0.06). Home advantage was observed supporting Asian athletes (χ 2 =10.12, p=0.038). Color bias was observed supporting athletes who wore red (χ 2 =8.52, p=0.004), which won a higher number of matches (65%). Conclusions: To the detriment of grappling actions (throws), female international level Wushu Sanda athletes predominantly used striking motor actions (punches and kicks). Winners applied a higher number of throws than losers. Home advantage was observed supporting Asian athletes. Color bias was observed supporting female athletes who wore red.
