Description
Summary:The production of knowledge in the context of struggles has gained academic space in recent years, especially when linked to health and the educational sector. Faced with this configuration, the present essay aims to approach the Marajoara Wrestling (MW) from an interdisciplinary perspective, considering sports and educational aspects and their interlocution with the health dimension. The methodological assumptions configure the essay as a descriptive study based on a literature review in search tools, Capes Periodicals, Academic Google and classic works prior to this period. It is evident that in parallel with a growing expansion process as a combat sport, MW experiences greater recognition in the educational field as an integral element of the curriculum component of physical education. The debate becomes controversial when the emphasis on technical issues predominates in pedagogical work. The interdisciplinary approach of the MW with the health dimension is one of the possible scenarios when considering the school as a context of practice. Such conception must be guided by pedagogical attitudes that aim at incorporating healthy lifestyle habits and critical reflection on sports practice. Thus articulated, the MW in the school would be associated with health prevention, through supervised practices of struggles aiming first of all at the integral education of the student. The approach would take into account the process of developing motor habits, mediating the initiation process to fight not only for the technical-sporting bias, but based on the integral development of the child, thus enabling the interdisciplinary treatment of MW with other areas of knowledge.
