  • The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by White Rose E-theses Online The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby Megan Geneva Murray PhD The University of York Women’s Studies January 2012 Abstract All-female roller derby is a rapidly growing full-contact sport played on quad roller skates, with a highly popularized punk, feminine, sexual and tough aesthetic. Utilising theories on the institution of heterosexuality, I conducted a qualitative study on all-female roller derby which evaluated the way in which derby aligns with or challenges heteronormativity. In order to approach this question, I analysed, firstly, thirty-eight interviews with spectators, and twelve with players about their interactions with spectators. Secondly, I interviewed twenty-six players about the phenomenon of “derby wives,” a term used to describe particular female friendships in roller derby. My findings relate the complex relationship between players and spectators by focusing on: (i) spectators’ interpretations of the dress, pseudonyms, and identities of players, as well as the ways in which they were actively involved in doing gender through their discussions of all-female, coed, and all-male roller derby; (ii) players’ descriptions of their interactions with spectators, family members, romantic partners, friends and strangers, regarding roller derby. Additionally, I address the reformulation of the role “wife” to meet the needs of female players within the community, and “derby wives” as an example of Adrienne Rich’s (1980) “lesbian continuum.” “Derby girls” are described as “super heroes” and “rock stars.” Their pseudonyms are believed to help them “transform” once they take to the track.

E d i t o r i a l Every Student Is Different WE often reference Western boxing because, although not a “martial art” per se, boxing is a marvelous martial sport that illustrates nicely some extremely important concepts and principles that are integral to good combat training, and to preparation through combat training for self-defense. Boxing teaches the use of one single key “natural weapon”: the clenched fist. Boxing teaches one single key “stance” and very logical, simple, basic movement in that stance, which is readily applicable to fluid, fast, real offensive and defensive “fighting” against a skilled opponent. Boxing employs but four basic techniques of punching: The left jab, the straight right, the hook, and the uppercut. Boxing teaches that you win by knocking your opponent out (or otherwise rendering him unable or unwilling to continue the ring battle). “Defensive” actions are taught and used in boxing, but no one who boxes or who trains boxers emphasizes that the heart and soul of boxing is blocking, parrying, and avoiding getting hit.

  • Muay Thai Diplomacy: Thailand’S Soft Power Through Public Diplomacy
    Journal of Alternative Perspectives in the Social Sciences (2021) Volume 11 No 1, 99-124 Muay Thai Diplomacy: Thailand’s Soft Power Through Public Diplomacy William J. Jones Mahidol University International College Pawinpon Theerawong Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Thailand Abstract: Public and cultural diplomacy are tools for states to enhance their soft power in international affairs. Sports diplomacy is becoming an increasingly important arena for states to enhance their image among foreign publics and increase their country’s visibility via the attractiveness of their cultural asset. This article explores Thailand’s cultural diplomacy by the support given by the Thai state in order to make Muay Thai (Thai boxing) an official Olympic sport. The role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Muay Thai athletes will be examined to find how the Thai state is attempting to increase its soft power by cultural sport diplomacy. Keywords: Thai boxing, Thailand diplomacy, Public diplomacy, Cultural diplomacy, Soft power, Sports diplomacy 1. Introduction Muay Thai, also known as Thai boxing, has gained a global admiration and recognition as the national martial art and sport of Thailand. More than its fascinating combat techniques, Muay Thai is enriched with its cultural values, fabricated along the history of the Thai nation. Today, Muay Thai has evolved from its origin of battlefield and obtained the utilitarian multiplicity in fitness, entertainment, sport, self-defence, and so on, not only in its country of origin but worldwide. It is also recognised by the Thai state as a 99 Muay Thai Diplomacy: Thailand’s Soft Power Through Public Diplomacy source of soft power, thus, used as a tool for cultural diplomacy (Sukontasap, 2018).

  • Defending the Self Defense Case
    4/16/2010 http://www.criminaljustice.org/public.n… Close this Window Email / Print A self-defense case is fundamentally different from most other criminal prosecutions. The essence of the defense is that the defendant is the victim of an attempted or completed violent felony such as assault, rape, or homicide which, but for the defendant’s lawful actions, would have resulted in the defendant’s death or in serious bodily harm. The complainant is, in fact, a violent aggressor who, but for the defendant’s lawful actions, would be the one standing trial. The defendant is the “good guy” and the victim is the “bad guy,” despite the prosecution’s efforts to portray the converse. Many assumptions about trial tactics are inverted in a self-defense case. If the defendant presents some evidence on each of the elements of self-defense, then he or she is entitled to a jury instruction on the issue, which places the burden of proof squarely on the prosecutor to disprove self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. If the prosecution fails to disprove self-defense, the client is acquitted. In practice, however, the defense attorney has a great deal of work to do in order to convince the jurors that the client’s conduct fell within the common law of self-defense or within applicable state statutes. This article is a starting point for attorneys representing clients in a self-defense case. It is focused on the common law of self-defense, using Massachusetts as its primary example, but the general principles are applicable in any state.

    [Cite as State v. Jacinto, 2020-Ohio-3722.] COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO EIGHTH APPELLATE DISTRICT COUNTY OF CUYAHOGA STATE OF OHIO, : Plaintiff-Appellee, : No. 108944 v. : KAINOA JACINTO, : Defendant-Appellant. : JOURNAL ENTRY AND OPINION JUDGMENT: AFFIRMED RELEASED AND JOURNALIZED: July 16, 2020 Criminal Appeal from the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case No. CR-18-633255-A Appearances: Michael C. O’Malley, Cuyahoga County Prosecuting Attorney, and Sean M. Kilbane, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellee. Patituce & Associates, L.L.C., Joseph C. Patituce and Megan M. Patituce, for appellant. EILEEN A. GALLAGHER, J.: Defendant-appellant Kainoa Jacinto appeals his conviction for felonious assault following a jury trial. Jacinto contends that the trial court erred in failing to give the jury a self-defense instruction, in admitting evidence of a 911 call from a caller who did not testify and in admitting “expert” opinion testimony from a paramedic that had not been disclosed in a written expert report and that exceeded the scope of his expertise. Jacinto further contends that his conviction is not supported by sufficient evidence and is against the manifest weight of the evidence and that his four-year prison sentence is not supported by the record. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the trial court’s decision. Procedural History and Factual Background On October 9, 2018, a Cuyahoga County Grand Jury indicted Jacinto on one count of felonious assault in violation of R.C. 2903.11(A)(1), a second-degree felony. The charge arose out of September 16, 2018 incident in which Jacinto punched and “knocked out” Bryant Lee (“Lee”), who struck his head on the concrete sidewalk as he fell to the ground.

  • Combat Judo Instructor with Whom We Trained for Nearly Three Years
    ©Copyright 2019 by Bradley J. Steiner ––– All Rights Reserved. Sword and Pen Official Newsletter Of The International Combat Martial Arts Federation (ICMAF) www.seattlecombatives.com www.americancombato.com www.prescottcombatives.com April 2019 Edition Editorial The Bottom Line INDIVIDUAL combat is dangerous. Only a fool gets into fights, and only a bigger fool advocates fighting as some sort of “proof” of manhood or toughness. (Obviously, we are not speaking now of competitive sport “fighting” but of that which the law defines as “mutual combat”; i.e. real fighting . physical combat in which two or more persons actually square off in a tacit agreement to do battle.) Fighting ought properly to be regarded as “two sided stupidity in action”. That is, the two opposing factions or individuals who engage in combat do do willingly, by a kind of mutual consent. I.e. One stupid troublemaking bastard belches out his challenge: “Let’s step outside and settle things there!” The other stupid bastard actually agrees to this, and steps outside to do battle. That’s fighting, and we maintain: a) That it is never (no, never) justifiable to get into a fight; and fighting per se can always (yes, always) be avoided. b) That professional, quality combatives/self-defense/“martial arts” training never teaches or condones fighting. What such training does teach is self-defense. That is, not engaging in mutual combat, but mastering the skills of decisively neutralizing someone who is an assailant. When someone attacks you and you defend yourself, we do not define that as “getting into a fight” or as “agreeing to fight”.
