  • On Modernity, Identity and White-Collar Boxing. Phd
    From Rookie to Rocky? On Modernity, Identity and White-Collar Boxing Edward John Wright, BA (Hons), MSc, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. September, 2017 Abstract This thesis is the first sociological examination of white-collar boxing in the UK; a form of the sport particular to late modernity. Given this, the first research question asked is: what is white-collar boxing in this context? Further research questions pertain to social divisions and identity. White- collar boxing originally takes its name from the high social class of its practitioners in the USA, something which is not found in this study. White- collar boxing in and through this research is identified as a practice with a highly misleading title, given that those involved are not primarily from white-collar backgrounds. Rather than signifying the social class of practitioner, white-collar boxing is understood to pertain to a form of the sport in which complete beginners participate in an eight-week boxing course, in order to compete in a publicly-held, full-contact boxing match in a glamorous location in front of a large crowd. It is, thus, a condensed reproduction of the long-term career of the professional boxer, commodified for consumption by others. These courses are understood by those involved to be free in monetary terms, and undertaken to raise money for charity. As is evidenced in this research, neither is straightforwardly the case, and white-collar boxing can, instead, be understood as a philanthrocapitalist arrangement. The study involves ethnographic observation and interviews at a boxing club in the Midlands, as well as public weigh-ins and fight nights, to explore the complex interrelationships amongst class, gender and ethnicity to reveal the negotiation of identity in late modernity.

  • Advanced Boxing for Fitness Combinations by Christian
    Advanced Boxing for Fitness Combinations By Christian Marchegiani – THUMP Training Systems With the resurgence of Boxing for Fitness in gyms and personal training studios it has become quite clear that no matter which way you look at it boxing training is still one of the most beneficial and motivating forms of exercises around. Laying claim to being the only training method that has stood the test of time boxing can proudly stand on its own as a superior training tool for Personal Trainers. As trainers complete workshops and courses in boxing for fitness the demand for more advanced combinations increases which is a sign of successful training methods. It is important to understand that an advanced combination does not necessarily mean making the punches more complex or adding large amounts of punches to a routine. Quite simply you can perform advanced combinations by changing or adding to the formulas you were already using. All that is required is a little creativity and basic knowledge of the way the human body responds to certain types of exercises. Let’s take a basic five punch combination – Double Jab, Cross, Jab, Cross. This can be your foundation combination. Now let’s increase the intensity by adding more resistance but keeping the punches the same so as not to confuse your clients. Begin by breaking the five punches into 5 separate combinations to eventually finish up on the double jab, cross, jab, cross. E.g. Jab – Double Jab – Double Jab, Cross – Double Jab, Cross, Jab – Double Jab, Cross, Jab, Cross. Remember there needs to be a definite pause in between each punching sequence.

My dissertation illuminates the social meaning of prize fighting between 1882 and 1913 considering interactions between culture and power relations. My dissertation understands prize fighting as a cultural text, structured in conjunction with social relations and power struggles. In so doing, the dissertation details how agents used a sport to construct, reinforce, blur, multiply, and shift social and cultural boundaries for the construction of group identities and how their signifying

  • This Study Is an Ethnographic Examination of the Rank and File Recreational Boxers—Mostly White and Middle-Class Males—Who F
    ABSTRACT SATTERLUND, TRAVIS DELMAR. Fighting for an Authentic Self: An Ethnographic Study of Recreational Boxers. (Under the direction of Michael L. Schwalbe.) This study is an ethnographic examination of the rank and file recreational boxers—mostly white and middle-class males—who frequented a gym in a mid-sized southeastern city in the United States. I conducted field research as a participant observer for nineteen months and also interviewed forty-eight fellow boxers and the gym’s two owner/trainers. This research shows that gym members used the cultural meanings associated with boxing as resources to construct boxing as an activity from which they could derive gendered identity rewards. At the same time, however, both gender and social class complicated matters considerably, creating dilemmas for the middle-class white recreational boxers, and for the women who claimed space in a masculinist domain. As such, I show how authenticity of the gym was socially constructed to meet these identity rewards and also to resolve these dilemmas. Gym members were attracted to boxing, at least in part, as an avenue to address feelings of what it means to enact manhood. Such displays of masculinity were important for these men because of the perceived limitation of their professional identities. While most of the men had secure middle class jobs, these jobs weren’t the primary basis for their feelings of self worth, especially in relation to their identity as “men.” In essence, then, the boxing gym offered a means for the men to compensate for their inability to signify power, control, and toughness in their professional lives.

  • Boxers in Relation to the Dominant Ideology
    Counterpunching with culture: Boxers in relation to the dominant ideology By: Hector Mackie BSc (hons), University of Bath, 2012 A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Graduate Department of Exercise Sciences University of Toronto ©Copyright by Hector Mackie 2015 Counterpunching with culture: Boxers in relation to the dominant ideology. Hector Mackie Master of Science Graduate Department of Exercise Sciences University of Toronto 2015 Abstract Numerous scholars have studied the sociological underpinnings of boxing and the boxing site; however, few studies have looked at the cultural level of boxing. This study endeavours to introduce boxing as a cultural practice that is part of a particular group’s cultural milieu. The study employs Willis’ (1977) Learning to Labour to engage with why working class people play working class sports. Much like ‘the lads’ in Learning to Labour the boxers are vulnerable to the dominant ideology. However, in contrast, their own ideology reveals that they have agency, which is performed in relation to other dominant cultural practices. The boxers create an Other (Hall, 1996/2000) and reject and separate themselves from normative cultural practice, thus deliberately reproducing their culture and place in the society. ii Table of Contents Abstract ii List of Tables vii List of Appendices vii Chapter 1 Introduction 1 1.01 Introduction 1 1.02 CCCS and PCS 2 1.03 CCCS 3 1.04 PCS 5 1.05 Boxing 7 1.06 Engaging with the Boxing Literature 9 1.07 Sugden, Boxing and

Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk Title: Strength and conditioning for professional boxing: Recommendations for physical preparation Abstract Professional boxing is a popular pan-global sport that attracts considerable interest and revenue. It is a high-intensity sport that requires a range of well-adapted physiological characteristics as likely pre-requisites for successful performance. Serious consideration has been given to medical aspects and potential health risks from partaking in training and competition. However, there are no comprehensive sources of applied sport science research on the preparation of professional boxers for competition. In this review we present research from physiology and strength and conditioning to form a knowledge base for those involved in preparing professional boxers for competition. Key words: Boxing, physiology, strength, combat, force, physical preparation Introduction Professional boxing is regarded as one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports in the world, yet despite this recognition and popularity, professional boxing has received little attention within the scientific literature.

  • Title: the Boxer's Point of View: an Ethnography of Cultural Production
    Title: The boxer’s point of view: an ethnography of cultural production and athletic development among amateur and professional boxers in England Name: Alex Stewart This is a digitised version of a dissertation submitted to the University of Bedfordshire. It is available to view only. This item is subject to copyright. The boxer’s point of view: An ethnography of cultural production and athletic development among amateur and professional boxers in England ALEX STEWART A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Luton August 2008 For Mum with all my Love Elizabeth Psaltis (1943-2003) i Abstract Since the late nineteenth century boxing in England has been socially organised into two ideologically distinctive versions - amateur and professional boxing – that to this day are practiced in spatially segregated social universes. Nonetheless, both amateur and professional boxing-practitioners understandings and lived experiences in and through boxing are necessarily grounded in the wider social and cultural contexts through which they interpret meaning and construct worldviews and identity. Thus despite the institutional, ideological and spatial boundaries demarcating either code, on a rather more subtle yet incredibly powerful cultural level, amateur and professional boxing are both symbolically and practically deeply intertwined. Over a five year period, I conducted ‘insider’ ethnographic research among distinct cohorts of amateur and professional boxers based in Luton and London to investigate the lived experiences and socially constructed worldviews, values and identities developed by practitioners immersed in either code. The overriding aim of this research was to critically evaluate the limits and possibilities of boxing-practitioners association with and development through ‘boxing’ henceforth.
