The objective of the research is to unveil and discuss the social representations that a group of undergraduate students in Physical Education has over Jiu-Jítsu. Therefore, to achieve this goal, a field survey was carried out. Fifty university students were interviewed, of which 20 were male and 30 were female. Thus, the social representations shared among university students are that Jiu-Jítsu is a violent practice, but serves as a panacea. Therefore, the study concluded that it is necessary to implement practices that involve the rethinking of the sport in a critical, reflexive and safe way.
