CAVALCANTE, Lucas Maciel  and  POTIGUAR JUNIOR, Petrônio Lauro Teixeira. Karate-do as an instrument for training the character and personality of practitioners through their body techniques. Rev. Motriviv. [online]. 2019, vol.31, n.60, e59802.  Epub Dec 05, 2019. ISSN 2175-8042.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-8042.2019e59802.

This research aims to investigate, with Karate-Do instructors, the understanding about the relationship between corporal techniques developed in this martial art and the formation of the character of the practitioner, a relation that according to the authors of the area is direct and unavoidable. As an instrument of data collection, interviews were used with all instructors active in this martial art in the city of Santarém-PA. As a result, for example, 38% of professors demonstrated that they were directly and objectively trained in character and personality, without considering that the techniques themselves are instruments of formation of this character, another 54% could make such a reasoning, while 8% of respondents have shown that they do so only with the children, and it is concluded that teachers, even if not in their totality, work with body techniques as instruments for the formation of character and personality and make their students aware of it.

Keywords : Karatê-do; Body; Body techniques.
