In this paper, we present the experience of the body as an educational phenomenon in Taekwondo, through the method of self-confrontation as a subjective analysis of movement and educational experience. Our goal is to understand how this body experience unveils the educational phenomenon in the meanings and expressions of the body itself in Taekwondo, based on self-confrontation. The methodology is based on the phenomenological attitude of French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, through which we conducted dialogues and discussions in this universe of meanings that are expressed in the body. As an ally to phenomenology, we brought the cinema-truth, described by Edgar Morin and Jean Rouch, in order to give the necessary treatment for the imagistic construction of our corpus of analysis, consisting of footage of interviews, classes and self-confrontations, stemming from the capture and reading of the records of Taekwondo Masters. Thus, we positioned three distinct moments in which records were made (filming): interviews with the Masters (conversation/reports), Taekwondo classes taught by them, and self-confrontation. The sensitive look provided by the floating reading of the material and by the imaginative variation allowed to expand the thoughts concerning the perception for the understanding of the phenomenon in question, giving us elaborations to reflect the educational phenomenon in horizons of epistemological, ethical and existential meanings, among others. Thus, we highlight the role of self-confrontation as a device to perceive the lived experience in the body, as sensitive education that master and disciple go along through gesture, technique, and the relationship of the body with others, with the world, and with one’s own being. We perceive, in this context, the mark of an education that is transfigured by the educational experience characterized by sensitivity.
