Abstract
This study examines the strengthening of historical sports combat through a civil association aimed at social fabric regeneration, grounded in the principles of Adaptive Complex Systems (ACS). It argues that historical sports recreation, by integrating history, culture, and sports, fosters community cohesion, social inclusion, and cultural heritage preservation. From the ACS perspective, the association is conceived as a dynamic system capable of self-organization, feedback integration, and adaptation to various environments. These principles enhance its flexibility, scalability, and long-term sustainability. Its decentralized structure allows local teams to adjust activities according to community needs, promoting participation and collaboration. The study is structured around three key pillars: Sports, which improve physical and mental health through the structured practice of historical sports combat; Culture, which strengthens community identity by promoting artistic expressions and traditions; and History, which transmits collective knowledge and values through reenactments, workshops, and educational narratives. Through the interaction of these pillars, the association seeks to establish a collaborative model that drives innovation and mutual learning. The study concludes that applying ACS principles to civil associations enables the development of resilient and adaptive models, fostering sustainable changes in diverse communities and reinforcing historical sports combat as a strategy for social transformation.
