Through the lived realities and everyday experiences of these\nfighters, this book seeks to examine why foreigners invest their time and money to\ntrain in martial arts in Thailand; the linkages between the embodiment of\nmartial arts and masculinity; how foreign bodies consume martial arts and\nwhat they get out of it; the sensory reconfiguration required of a fighter; and the impact of transnational flows on bodily dispositions and knowledge.\nThe author argues that being a successful fighter entails not only sensitized awareness\nand knowledge of one’s body, but also a reconfiguration of the senses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Pivot\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-05-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137557414\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-55742-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 137\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44309524971660,"sku":"9781137557414","price":40.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137557414.jpg?v=1776698806","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137557414","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
