Cargas d’água, no limite do mundo e da terra: uma iniciação às artes marciais mágicas

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to outline the traits of an initiation into magical martial arts, trafficked by Martin Heidegger's meditations. In the first part, we emphasize the loss of the inhuman dimension in contemporary martial arts, proposing an approach that rescues a deeper experience. In the second part, we try to rescue the existential and poetic dimension of martial arts, overcoming a predominant instrumental and technical vision. In the third part, we seek to investigate the relationship between Heidegger's philosophy and the practice of martial arts, with the aim of recovering a deeper and more poetic dimension. And, finally, we turn to the limitations of Heidegger's philosophy in relation to his approach to nature and the extra-mundane, especially in the martial artistic scene.
