We are made of fire and heavy metals—broken glass, magnetic storms, and grit.
Sitting Ringside is a feature on Not Made of Glass where female ‘fighters’ share why they, as seemingly, “average” women are invested/engaged in combat sports normally dominated by men.
I’ve only made two episodes so far, but in both we learn about what fuels some quietly focused females to hold their ground in sports like boxing, Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts, Jiu-Jitsu, and weightlifting. For women on the pro or amateur tracks I’m curious to get to the heart of why they do what they do while, as for the ‘everyday’ woman, the idea is to insight into why someone who has no intention of competing for a living signs up to grind it out in intense workouts while juggling personal and professional commitments.
Interviews are available in video or audio-only format on this blog, and via the Not Made of Glass YouTube and SoundCloud channels.
Most recent episode: Sitting Ringside with Christine Meizoso (Advanced Fighting Age).
