Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio es comprender las experiencias de los luchadores profesionales de artes marciales mixtas (MMA) en la transición psicológica entre la lucha y la violencia, a partir de sus propios informes. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas con una muestra intencional de cinco participantes y su análisis se realizó desde una perspectiva fenomenológica. El cruce intencional de experiencias permitió la identificación de cinco categorías: mantener la concentración vs. perder la concentración; mantenimiento de la técnica vs. pérdida de la técnica; sentirse bien vs. vergüenza; deseo de probarse a sí mismo vs. agresión; represalia deseable vs. represalia desproporcionada. Los resultados de este estudio indican que la intensificación del intercambio combativo que conduce a la transición del primero al segundo ítem de cada categoría es el elemento clave en la transición subjetiva entre lucha y violencia.
