MMA is renowned as one of the most violent combat sports. Isabelle was able to follow fighters' training at an MMA club, positioning herself right in the heart of the training space to be as close as possible to the athletes' energy.

During training, movements are repeated with intensity but... stopped just before impact. These suspended gestures carry an unexpected tenderness. This restrained violence inverts the violence of confrontation, transforming it into a listening to one another.
