Mixed Martial Arts
Mixed Martial Arts is the fastest growing sport in the world.
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is the fastest growing sport in the world. MMA is a combination of the best fighting systems. In 1993, the Ultimate Fighting Championship forever changed martial arts by creating a tournament to pit the world's best martial artists against each other. The tournament was designed to answer the age-old question, “Which martial art is the most effective in a real life, no-rules situation?” After 15 years of MMA events around the globe by the UFC and other organizations, MMA mania has now taken over the sports world. More importantly, it is now widely accepted that a combination of Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, and Wrestling is a strong foundation for fighting in a no-holds-barred situation. A complete fighter is someone who can fight in the 4 primary ranges of combat: kicking, punching, clinching/kneeing/takedowns, and ground fighting.
