This paper is an exploratory study about bodies, pain and injury in the context of contact martial arts practice. Although there has been a constant increase among social science scholars in research on these topics, few studies considered the relationships between them, focusing mainly on adjacent topics. The aim of the present paper is to define particular types of pain as well as their broader implications, in relationship to both the fighters’ bodies and to their everyday life.
