This ethnographic study of a mixed martial arts gym in Thailand
describes the everyday practices and lived experiences of martial
art practitioners. Through the lived realities and everyday
experiences of these fighters, this book seeks to examine why
foreigners invest their time and money to train in martial arts in
Thailand; the linkages between the embodiment of martial arts and
masculinity; how foreign bodies consume martial arts and what they
get out of it; the sensory reconfiguration required of a fighter;
and the impact of transnational flows on bodily dispositions and
knowledge. The author argues that being a successful fighter
entails not only sensitized awareness and knowledge of one's body,
but also a reconfiguration of the senses.
