Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/9945Karate-Dō is characterized as a practice that goes beyond its sporting or combative nature, being understood as a path of integral development that integrates body, mind, and ethical values. Grounded in the philosophy of Gichin Funakoshi, Karate emphasizes principles such as discipline, respect, self-control, and perseverance, which are experienced daily within the dojo environment and tend to influence practitioners’ behavior and mental functioning. In this context, the present study aimed to analyze, through a narrative literature review, the influence of Karate-Dō philosophy on cognitive and psychological dimensions. The search for studies was conducted in national and international databases, including SciELO, PubMed, Google Scholar, and the CAPES Periodicals Portal. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, twelve empirical and theoretical studies related to the topic were analyzed. The results indicate that the practice of Karate-Dō is associated with improvements in cognitive functions such as attention, memory, executive functions, and inhibitory control, as well as psychological benefits, including reduced anxiety, strengthened self-esteem, greater emotional balance, and the development of self-control. The interpretative analysis suggests that these effects are not solely due to physical activity, but are directly related to the philosophical foundations of the discipline, which guide practitioners toward self-regulation, body awareness, and moral development. It is concluded that Karate-Dō, when understood in its full philosophical scope, constitutes an educational practice and a promoter of cognitive and psychological health.Acesso AbertoKaratê-DōFilosofia do karatêCogniçãoKarate philosophyCognitionCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::EDUCACAO FISICATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - MonografiaAttribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazil
