This autoethnographic paper arises from my interest in studying contemporary masculinities in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. It describes my experience as a female in the masculine space of a karate dojo and is based on records from a martial arts class between 2005 and 2010. I have selected some of the moments that I consider the most significant to convey three elements: (a) life in the dojo, including rituals and specific practices; (b) the exaltation of masculinity and the trials that men must overcome; and (c) the experience of masculinity in my body as a woman who enters a man's world and strives to be a part of it
