Configuração estrutural de academias de jiu-jitsu em Maceió da equipe Kimura

Abstract

Organizations, like many human groups, formal or not, constitute a (un)structured form of existence and/or functioning and this is the case with sports. One of these is jiu-jitsu, legitimized worldwide as Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ), which is practiced among people of different ages. In Maceió, there are many teams distributed throughout the city, one of which is Kimura, the focus of this study, whose objective is to describe the structural configuration of jiu-jitsu academies in Maceió. The theory used was based on the organizational structure and its configurations. Its methodological design identifies the study as qualitative, interpretive, with collection of primary data through the application of an online questionnaire, via Google Forms, to managers of these Kimura units and through participant observation – and secondary data – based on information available on the internet. From the interpretation of the data, the results indicate that in the academies studied it is possible to observe several types and structural configurations, that is, a mix of typologies.
