The article introduces an ethnometological reading of the concept of habitus in Bourdieu and Elias. It is intended to show the link between the generation of practical acquisition processes (ethnomesall) of certain bodily activities and the development of a certain practical meaning (to which the bourdieuan habitus refers) and a certain emotional economy (referred to by the eliasian habitus) throughout the continuous immersion of such activities. To this end, the study of the acquisition of a specific sense and control over violence in the generation of normal patterns of two combat sports has been chosen: aikido and boxeo.
