Boldly confronts British parties (6)

I believe the answer is:

braves

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'boldly confronts' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'british parties' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'parties' becomes 'raves'.
'b'+'raves'='BRAVES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for braves that I've seen is " North American Indian warriors - courageous types".)
