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.

Nude
images of male athletes, gods and fighters could be found everywhere in ancient
Greece.

Everywhere!

These
images were displayed wherever people gathered, to serve as symbols of Areté or
Manly excellence – to remind the ancient Greeks just how much they valued and
cherished Areté. 

These
male nude images were symbols of Righteousness, that when a Man had Areté, that
he was in total possession of his Manhood.

A Man
with Areté had the ability and willingness to fight. He possessed all the Moral
Virtues that make Men good, such as Humility, Integrity, Selflessness, Self
Control and showing the proper Respect for people, places and things.

Areté
was very important to the ancient Greeks.

Areté is very important to us as well.

Train and fight!

Always seek and cherish Manliness!

It’s extremely important for
all Men to experience Male Nudity.

To see Men Nude.

To fight Men Nude.

Very very important.

Men are “Hard Wired” for Male
Nudity.

As part of their development
as Men, they need to experience it, to actually fight other Men nude.

This activity “completes”
them as Men. It provides Men with the “frame of reference” for Manliness, so
essential for growth as mature and complete Men.

Today, our Consumer Society
demonizes this need in Men.

It emphasizes clothes as
“making the Man”, meaning that by buying and wearing selective clothes a Man
defines his Manliness.

This could not be any
further from the truth.

Manliness is only produced
and nurtured by fighting.

It is not produced by the
wearing of clothes.

Removing clothes pushed Men
back to their Natural State, reflected by the state of their trained and conditioned bodies.

THIS is what Manliness is.

Clothes are merely used for
protection and warmth.

Clothes do not “define”
Manliness.

Repeat – Clothes do NOT define
Manliness.

Train and fight – NUDE!

This is Marcel Rouet, a French model photographed in 1936.  He seems to be holding an invisible staff.

The Doryphoros (Greek Δορυφόρος , “Spear-Bearer”, Latinised as Doryphorus) of Polykleitos is one of the best known Greek sculptures of classical antiquity , depicting a solidly-built, well-muscled standing warrior, originally bearing a spear balanced on his left shoulder. Rendered somewhat above life-size proportions, the lost bronze original of the work would have been cast circa 440 BCE,but it is today known only from later (mainly Roman period) marble copies. The work nonetheless forms an important early example of both Classical Greek contrapposto and classical realism as such, the iconic Doryphoros proved highly influential elsewhere in ancient art.

The renowned Greek sculptor Polykleitos designed a sculptural work as a demonstration of his written treatise, entitled the “Kanon” (or Canon, translated as “measure” or “rule”), exemplifying what he considered to be the perfectly harmonious and balanced proportions of the human body in the sculpted form.

Sometime in the 2nd century CE, the Greek medical writer Galen wrote about the Doryphoros as the perfect visual expression of the Greeks’ search for harmony and beauty, which is rendered in the perfectly proportioned sculpted male nude.

Men as nature intended.

Naked. Primitive. Proud.

Kállos and Sthénos

Nudity is most Manly.

This concept was accepted in ancient Greece as the standard for Manliness.

No pretense, only pure Manliness.

Men don’t buy Manliness, they earn it through training and fighting.

Train and fight!

Nudity is very important
for Men.

When they’re nude they
share their Manliness.

Pure Manliness. No
pretense.

This is why it’s
important to train and fight because the Martial Culture promotes Manliness through
nudity.

Fighters Love nudity.

They are very very
Proud of their nude Manliness.

The Consumer Culture
sees nudity as porn, as sex.

The Martial Culture
sees nudity as pure sacred Manliness produced and nurtured by fighting.

Train and fight!

Seek Manliness!
