THE ORIGINS OF KARATE IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF CAMPOS SALES/CE
MEMORIES ABOUT IDENTITIES, DISPUTES AND SYMBOLS OF BELONGING
Abstract
The aim of this study was to understand the dynamics involved in the insertion and development of karate in the city of Campos Sales/CE. Three oral history interviews were conducted. Three karate practitioners who followed the historical process of insertion of the sport in Campos Sales/CE, from the 1980s onwards, participated in the study. We concluded that the practice of karate was focused, above all, on technical and tactical elements, lacking reflections on the philosophical elements inherent to martial arts. In this way, an identity was created that was based on the warrior ethos, considering aspects such as honor, aggressiveness and virility as key elements of the fighter's identity.
