Class Didactics of Fight Sports

The Didactics of Combat Sports can be considered as a Curricular Unit (CU) that aggregates fight subjects and combat sports, being a fundamental Unit of the Master in Physical Education Teaching. In this UC it is intended to provide students with essential skills in the didactic process of teaching combat sports, through the application of strategies appropriate to the stage of development of each student. In Combat Sports (CS) the student is faced with displacements, unbalances, falls, and Pull vs. Vs. Push, Grab and Drop, which do not happen in most team and individual sports. This motor pattern, or these motor actions, is also fundamental in the integral development of young people, which are specific to combat sports. Thus, the mastery of subjects to the DC, the teaching, observation, and evaluation process, embodied in the teaching practice processes, will be absolutely determinant in the success of this UC.

DC Didactics is a UC with Judo/Wrestling knowledge and practice and Teaching Practice, in the areas of knowledge and teaching, planning, observation, analysis, and evaluation. 1.
