MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)

Originally promoted as a competition to find the most effective martial arts for real unarmed combat, competitors from different fighting styles were pitted against one another in contests with relatively few rules. Later, individual fighters incorporated multiple martial arts into their style. MMA promoters were pressured to adopt additional rules to increase competitors' safety, to comply with sport regulations and to broaden mainstream acceptance of the sport. Following these changes, the sport has seen increased popularity with a pay-per-view business that rivals boxing and professional wrestling.

Mixed martial arts is exactly what it implies. The blending of multiple martial arts into one sport. Mixed martial arts is the most closely related sport to real self defense and is all about practical application of fundamental techniques. We highly recommend making the mixed martial arts program a part of your training routine.
