Search for: [Abstract = %22The aim of this article is to present the specificity of %E2%80%9Ethick participation%E2%80%9D%2C a research method proposed by Hawaiian anthropologist Jaida Kim Samudra%2C which assumes deep%2C bodily immersion in the studied reality%2C a method particularly recommended for anthropologists and social scientists in general who are engaged in martial arts studies. I am interested in how this method works in the ethnographic research within Brazilian jiu%5C-jitsu community in Warsaw. The paper can also be treated as a voice in the discussion on turning a private passion into a subject of systematic scientific investigation. The main conclusion is formulated as follows%5C: although I cannot deny that %E2%80%9Cthick participation%E2%80%9D may open up new fascinating paths it also creates new dilemmas and research doubts that the anthropologist has to face. In sum%2C %E2%80%9Cthick participation%E2%80%9D is framed as a skill%2C practical experience and proper %E2%80%9Etraining%E2%80%9D%22]
