This research studies the body-Down in its experience in the Capoeira Circle once one is Being-motricity, that is, the being that moves with significance and search for meaning. The research is founded in the perspective of the Human Motricity from the philosopher Manuel Sergio, whose work has its roots in the Phenomenology and in the notion of Embodiment studied by Maurice Merleau-Ponty (SÉRGIO, 1991-2008; MERLEAU-PONTY, 2011). The research takes upon the Existencial-Phenomenology to comprehend the body-down, one type of existence that is rooted in a World of meaning and significance. The meanings of the movement that are manifested in this game allowed us to have a better understanding of the meaning that they have in the Down’s own motricity and to comprehend better the intentionality that lies in their behavior. The analysis and the discussions that are in this content doesn’t follow the quantitative or empirical models and, methodologically speaking, its focus is Hermeneutic-Phenomenological, it is a question of deepening into the manifestation of meaning in our own manner of being intentional and of relating ourselves with the meaning of the things (phenomenological method). The game of capoeira offers an exemplary aesthetic discourse of the existential-motricity and, in this sense, the objective of this research was to understand, from a hermeneutical foundation, the meaning and significance that capoeira possesses for the body-Down. Still regarding to the methodological part, we take into account the cognitive science contributions from Francisco Varela (also a phenomenologist), (VARELA, 1996-2000), in its productive principle of enactive incarnation. This allowed us to translate into the written language the sense and meaning that capoeira acquires for the existence of the body-Down. Four young persons with DS who practiced capoeira for more than 3 years were selected in the group of the Methodist University of São Paulo. Based on the assumptions of the HM, we constituted a Comprehensive Phenomenological-Hermeneutical Matrix (CPHM), nuclei of meanings (NM) and their respective guiding aspects of the driving corporeity that allow us to approach the body-Down in action on the Capoeira Circle. The descriptive analyzes of the body-Down’s own’s motricity interlaced with my hermeneutical analyzes and also with the narrative-testimonies of mothers allowed, within the limits of this type of analysis, to broaden the horizons of understanding the meaning of these subjects with Down who are capoeira practitioners and, especially, to understand the fundamental importance of phenomenological-hermeneutic studies (without forgetting the empirical contributions) for the education of Down existence, relevance that extends to physical education, and art in general.
