Feminist engagement with fight sports is often ambivalent, given that the masculine history of combat and the achievement of 'self' transformation at the 'expense' of another exist in tension with the possibilities of women's empowerment. Utilising a feminist new materialist framework, this project orients multiple research encounters towards a care-full approach to fight space(s). The aims of this research underpin a concerted effort to unsettle hidden logic(s) that associate masculinity with physical capability and aggression, and - importantly - femininity with caring and passivity. Drawing on an embodied workshop methodology conducted with fourteen women who had little to no experience of the full contact practice of sparring. This project involves attuning to the embodied dynamics of learning-coaching-researching - the intra-actions of Muay Thai Boxing - in terms of what these movement practices 'do' and how they 'affect' women in the process of becoming-fighters. I argue that the kinetic excess enacted within a fight space organised and supported through a reflexive commitment to a feminist ethics of care offers a generative site of self-world transformation with significant implications for coaching pedagogies more broadly.
