Os benefícios psicofísicos do Karate-do em mulheres

Abstract

Karate-do "empty-handed way" is a martial art focused on forming principles and values and brings various benefits to its practitioners in the various phases of life. The feminine presence in this modality and sports in general, in turn, has been gaining prominence in the last decades. Thus, this work had as objective to verify in the existing literature the concepts and history about Karate-do feminine, the physical and psychological benefits of the practice for women and the relation between martial art, fights and combat sport. We can conclude that we live in a moment where the participation of women in the practice of martial arts and in the competitive environment has been increasing and thus, conquering their space in this environment that for many decades was considered masculine, enjoying the physical, psychological and mental benefits that the modality provides.
