Overlapping Spheres

This chapter examines the divergent functions of the live martial arts practice of sparring, as combative activity, as competition, as play, and as intersubjective exchange. In this process, the chapter examines the multiple connotations of competition within the overlapping spheres of game and sport. Central to this inquiry are the differences between competitive pleasure and competitive spectacle. In line with sports sociologists and historians, this chapter maintains that sport emphasizes competitive spectacle and hinges on outcome—winning or losing—rather than highlighting the pleasure of competition, suggesting that attention to physical, contestatory, and exploratory interactions between people may offset a societal overemphasis on winning. An intentional reclaiming of amateurism, with its attention to experimentation, can also play a role, as can a reconsideration of the significance of failure.

Among contact sports, the practice of martial arts offers a greater risk of causing dental trauma and fractures as contact with the face is more frequent. The primary objective of the research is to evaluate the incidence of mouthguard use, and the secondary objective is to verify which type has a greater predominance and the difficulties in its use correlating to the type of mouthguard used. A documentary study was carried out with 273 athletes of different contact sports, among them: MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, and Taekwondo of the city of Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was concluded that the most commonly used mouthguard is PB Boils and Bites - Type II and its level of approval is poor, interfering with the athletes’ performance, mainly in relation to the breathing factor.
