| Summary: | Based on an ethnographic study through participant observation and interviews in a Thai boxing gym in a working-class banlieue, this article analyses the modalities of the transmission of Thai boxing and its social effects.

I show the teaching and supervision of the trainers only begin to be mildly recognized by the municipality despite the gym’s long history. |
