Abstract

This work emphasizes the importance of developing in the school environment the ethical and moral values ​​that govern the conduct of an individual, who, autonomously, apply such principles socially after acquiring knowledge about right and wrong, with the teacher as a mediator. In this context, the implementation of Jiu Jitsu classes in Physical Education at School helps to spread such precepts, given that the philosophy of this art is based on finding a physical and mental balance, preaching respect for others, self-control, the appreciation of friendship and cordiality, seeking to avoid conflicts by transmitting peace and serenity. Furthermore, the difference between the practice of Jiu Jitsu in schools and in fighting academies is highlighted, and in the first case, the gentle art, as it is called, is taught based on philosophical precepts, clarifying its importance through its history. In the second, due to major media approaches, the fight in question is aggressive, focused only on championship disputes, which when televised, show it violently in the eyes of laymen. We conclude in this work that by transmitting adequate knowledge about fights, in this case Jiu Jitsu, in School Physical Education classes, it becomes possible to minimize prejudice about it, showing it as something beneficial for those who practice it, also extinguishing the fear of teachers when presenting it. In this way, society. would recognize Jiu Jitsu and its philosophy as an advantageous practice, encouraging its apprentices to become people of good conduct and principles.
