This critical ethnography explores how a group of female youth in a divided city centre negotiated a sport-for-development program centred upon the traditionally masculine pastime of mixed martial arts (MMA). The ethnographic setting was a youth centre in a historically working-class borough of central Montreal that provides free after-school programming for male and female youth aged 11-18 years. My analysis extends upon the sport sociological and sport-for-development literatures by yielding four prominent themes: 1) 'countering the female frailty falsehood', in which I showed how the MMA participants challenged residual stereotypes of young girls as 'too soft' to participate in physically demanding feats such as MMA; 2) 'disrupting the disinterested label', in which I highlighted the passion and tenacity exhibited by female youth; 3) 'a mixed bag of mixed martial artists', in which I explore how youth conceived MMA as a vehicle for supporting a whole variety of innovative agendas that extend beyond the sport itself; and 4) the 'gendering of self-defence', in which the gendered realities (profiling and marginalization) experienced by many racialized youth in the area were reflected in the teachings of MMA. This thesis, thus, raises important questions about the role(s) this MMA program plays in the lives of female youth; the internal gender dynamics of sport-for-development programming; and about the tensions and contradictions embodied by a group of female martial artists with respect to their race and gendered identities.

520 $a Cette ethnographie critique explore comment un groupe de jeunes femmes en milieu urbain a negocie sa place dans un programme de sport au service du developpement axe autour d'un passe-temps traditionnellement masculin: les arts martiaux mixtes (MMA). Cette ethnographie s'est principalement deroulee dans un centre de jeunes situe dans un quartier central de Montreal, un quartier historiquement considere a faible revenu. Le centre de jeunes offre une programmation parascolaire gratuite aux jeunes ages de 11 a 18 ans. Mon analyse s'accroit de la litterature des domaines de la sociologie du sport et du sport au service du developpement, en elaborant sur quatre themes principaux: 1) La supposition fautive de la 'femme fragile', que j'ai defie en demontrant comment les participantes du programme d'arts martiaux mixtes ont resiste des stereotypes residuels qui jugent la jeune femme comme etant 'trop delicate' pour participer a des defis exigeants physiquement; 2) Le cliche de 'femme desinteressee', que j'ai denonce en illuminant la passion et la tenacite des jeunes femmes participant; 3) 'La multitude d'artistes d'arts martiaux', un theme a travers lequel j'ai apercu comment les MMA pouvaient agir comme moteur pour inspirer et soutenir une grande variete d'idees novatrices au-dela du sport en soi; 4) Le 'facteur de genre dans les pratiques d'auto-defense', un theme qui discute comment les realites vecues par les jeunes racises/non-blanches dans le quartier (ex: le profilage et la marginalisation)-des realites parfois associees au genre-sont refletees dans la facon dont le programme enseigne. Or, cette these souleve d'importantes questions quant au role(s) qu'occupe ce programme MMA dans les vies des jeunes femmes. Les questions soulevees par cette these avancent notre reflexion sur les dynamiques de genre ancrees dans des programmes de sport au service du developpement ainsi que sur les tensions evoquees par un groupe de jeunes femmes artistes martiaux mixtes en lien avec leur identite de genre et de leur identite raciale.
