Abstract

The authors co-produced several short films in the framework of participating in audiovisual workshops in public secondary schools located in contexts of urban poverty of the first urban belt of the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires. From a range of short films that reflect physical education, they selected one that describes the dream of setting up a Taekwondo gym specialising in attending to practitioners with disabilities. Shedding light on the processes around the camera work, the film serves as a platform to discuss the political and institutional struggles of the history of Taekwondo in Argentina while describing social visions of possible futures linked to the learning and teaching of martial arts in Argentina. Following the hypothesis that martial arts practice allows the interlocutor with disabilities to interpellate and claim the power to challenge their bodily limits, the discussion examines the intersections of potencies of martial arts, disability, and urban poverty as it produces effects and affections in the processes of inclusion/exclusion of young people with disabilities living in such contexts.
