Mestre Moíses Alves Santos : uma história de luta pelo TAE KWON-DO na Paraíba

Abstract

This work presents an account of the trajectory and performance of Master Moisés Alves dos Santos in the practice of Tae Kwon-Do, through which he seeks to understand the history of the construction and development of Tae Kwon-Do of Paraíba. We use a qualitative approach, using discourse analysis as a method. A semi-structured interview script was elaborated, which was later applied with Master Moses and served as a database to describe the historical process of implementation of Tae Kwon-Do in Brazil and especially in Paraíba, to understand how Master Moses contributed to the development, lineage and diffusion of Tae Kwon-Do in this state and diagnose the current structure of Tae Kwon-Do in Paraíba.
