gymnasion-greece:

Grappling is the best thing I have ever trained at.
I like to say that it’s a virus I luckily got infected from and there is no cure.
Since then, whenever I see a fight, my feet, my hands,my head, my stomach, move instinctively.
I feel the tension.
That primitive manliness.
That energy, fighters are possessed of.
That primal instinct.
And just like an ancient Greek, a naked manly athlete back then, I want to get into a gymnasium, into a palaestra and start fighting.

The Greeks were the first to see male nudity as, literally,
a heroic state.

‘Greek nudity is a sign not of humiliation, but of moral
virtue among the social elite of male citizens,’ says Neil MacGregor, a former director
of the British Museum.

‘When a youth removes his clothes to compete in the ancient
Olympic Games, he does not merely stand naked before his peers, rather he has
put on the uniform of righteousness.’

A fighter’s nudity pointed to his Manly Virtues that all
fighters embody.

Then and today.
