AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC REFLECTION ON THE PRACTICE OF MARTIAL ARTS: TO BE ONE OF THEM

Main Article Content

Abstract

This article, written autoethnographically, recovers my experience in the practice of martial arts. It focuses on the meanings of masculinity among my male classmates, and in my own physical and emotional transformation to be part of a masculine world. The paper presents a dual challenge: on the theoretical dimension, it aims to shed light on the meaning of the practice of martial arts and its relationship with the regulations that define masculinity. In the methodological dimension, it seeks to explore the practice of autoethnography, its potential and limitations.
