Abstract

While multiple objectives can guide different fighting practices, for several of them, such as those aimed at personal protection, the problems of combat performance and, therefore, the teaching of this performance are inescapable. In these contexts, it is necessary to investigate how the different didactic approaches to Fighting influence the development not of standardized Fighting techniques, but of the ability to deal with different combat situations. An investigation of this type, therefore, requires methods of evaluating Fight learning, which are at the same time independent of fixed technical standards and suitable for the analysis of non-cooperative opposition situations constructed in the training situations themselves. This work intends to initiate an investigation into how "Constraint-Oriented Approaches" and "Tactical-Centered Approaches" influence Fight learning, through the development of an assessment instrument - to be tested in a Traditional Kungfu training program for protection based on the approaches of interest and implemented in a university extension class aimed at an adult audience - of the technical-tactical behavior of Fight practitioners in non-cooperative opposition activities, such that this instrument allows, if used repeatedly with the same audience, to infer acquisition combat skills over time.
