Description

Explore the complex world of Mixed Martial Arts through a unique academic lens. This book, published by Routledge, provides a deep look into the carnal experience of fighting using sensory ethnography. It examines how MMA functions as an emergent sport where competitors use strikes and submission techniques to face opponents in the ring or cage. Through four years of participant observation at a local MMA club, the author provides a rare look at the training regimes and personal meanings that fighters attach to their sport. By conducting in-depth interviews with both amateur and professional fighters, this research documents how the sport challenges and changes traditional cultural scripts of masculinity found in popular culture. This text is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of sport, culture, and society.
