Boxing and Masculinity: Fighting to Find the Whole Man

Beschreibung

"Boxing and Masculinity" argues that men of all ages and find happiness in the boxing ring. Boxing isn't just good exercise. It's also a path to greater freedom and independence and to improved self-confidence. This book connects boxing to forms of competition that were prized by gladiators, knights, and other warriors, men who are often cited by boxers as role models. Amateur boxing creates a warm and supportive brotherhood with challenges that help men find new levels of happiness.
