In this episode, I will be talking about the recent trend of fitness and its alleged connection to far-right recruitment. According to a piece by MSNBC, physical fitness has always been a crucial aspect of the far-right movement.

There are reports of far-right groups launching mixed martial arts and boxing gyms in different countries to train far-right nationalists in violent hand-to-hand combat and street-fighting techniques.

Join me as I delve deeper into the article's argument that combat sports and MMA are used to promote far-right violence and the shared obsession with masculinity, testosterone, strength, competition, and the male body.
