Description

Explore the complex world of combat sports with Fighting Identity: An Ethnography of Kickboxing in East London. Part of the Routledge Advances in Ethnography series, this book provides an immersive account of life within a Polish-owned Muay Thai and kickboxing gym. Through detailed ethnographic research, the text examines how fighters attempt to reject traditional identity markers. It looks at how individuals try to build a shared identity as fighters, moving away from social categories like race, class, gender, and sexuality. This study offers a deep look into how people navigate subjectivity and identity by casting aside pre-established ways of thinking and acting. For students and researchers in anthropology and sociology, this work provides a unique perspective on how constructed differences are challenged within a specific subculture. It is a vital resource for understanding the social dynamics of martial arts training environments and the ways people seek to redefine themselves through sport.
