Transições combativas entre luta, briga e brincadeira: fronteiras fenomenológicas na luta greco-romana

Abstract

Mediante os relatos dos lutadores de Luta Greco-romana, objetivou-se compreender como se dão suas experiências vividas na transição combativa entre brincadeira, luta corporal e briga. Para tal, foram feitas dez entrevistas sob escuta suspensiva com praticantes desta modalidade. Os relatos foram transcritos e, como via de análise, submetidos ao cruzamento intencional. De acordo com análises fenomenológicas efetuadas, durante prática Luta Greco-romana as transições combativas tematizadas podem ser descritas e estruturadas em cinco distintas experiências vivenciais de combate: Luta, Briga e Brincadeira, além das transições de Luta para Briga e de Brincadeira para Briga.

Subjective boundaries between fight and violence in the experience of professional MMA fighters

“…In this case, according to Channon (2020), MMA is likely to become violent because the interactions between the fighters run away from what is explicitly allowed. This phenomenon is also identified as central to the transition between fighting and violence in Capoeira (Melo & Barreira, 2015), Jiu jitsu (Basseti, Telles & Barreira, 2016) and Greco-Roman fighting (Coelho & Barreira, 2020), since the increase in the intensity of the blows is not mutual, that is, it is only carried out by one of the parties. In this way, the fighter is led to experience a phenomenon specific to violence due to the occurrence of unacceptable actions that violate what is mutually consented between MMA fighters.…”

“…The experience of transition from fight to violence occurs in a pre-reflexive dimension, in which the violation of what is mutually consented among the fighters during the combat can emerge without one realizing it, due to lack of control at a pre-reflexive level (Basseti, Telles & Barreira 2016;Coelho & Barreira, 2020;Melo & Barreira, 2015). Souza et al (2017) state that, from a biological point of view, the increase in intensity in a fight leads to a rise in testosterone levels, a hormone whose elevation is associated with aggressive behaviour and which is found in high concentrations in MMA fighters after the combat, both in winners and in losers.…”

“…Souza et al (2017) state that, from a biological point of view, the increase in intensity in a fight leads to a rise in testosterone levels, a hormone whose elevation is associated with aggressive behaviour and which is found in high concentrations in MMA fighters after the combat, both in winners and in losers. As believed by Coelho and Barreira (2020), this makes the intensified combat practices desired in the routine of teaching and training combat sports, as it may assist in preparing the fighter for a more intense confrontation and, therefore, less likely to approach the objectification process of the other.…”
