Michael Staack's multi-year ethnography is the first and only
comprehensive social-scientific analysis of the combat sport 'Mixed
Martial Arts'. Based on systematic training observations, the
author meticulously analyses how Mixed Martial Arts practitioners
conjointly create and immerse themselves into their own world of
ultimate bodily combat. With his examination of concentrative
technique demonstrations, cooperative technique train-ings, and
chaotic sparring practices, Staack not only provides a sociological
illumination of Mixed Martial Arts culture's defining theme - the
quest of 'Fighting As Real As It Gets'. Rather further-more, he
provides a compelling cultural-sociological case study on practical
social constructions of 'authenticity'.
