I have never really been interested in sports such as MMA or boxing until I saw one of my friends compete in a competition and win. After seeing him at the end of the tournament bruised and bloody with a huge smile on his face I realized that it takes a certain type of person to enjoy this lifestyle.
Fighting is a way of life for some people. Through this project I wanted to show how, although it is violent and can be dangerous, it is a sport that many enjoy safely. For many, or at least for me, the world of fighting is kind of a mystery. It takes a lot of practice, skill, and mental toughness to get through a training session, let alone a real fight. I was inspired to document the type of people who do it everyday and to get a glimpse of them training.
