Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is the world’s fastest growing sport. It is a full contact sport that allows the use of both grappling and striking techniques, whilst standing and on the ground. MMA combines a variety of disciplines that include boxing, wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, muay Thai, kickboxing, taekwondo, karate, judo and other styles. The sport has been derived from the original full range combat Olympic sport of Pankration. However, various mixed style contests took place throughout Europe, Japan and the Pacific Rim throughout the early 1900’s. MMA classes are a great way for individuals to learn self defence and increase their fitness levels at the same time which can also assist with weight loss.
The sport has become increasingly popular worldwide since the Gracie family brought the vale tudo discipline to the United States and the formation of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in 1993. Since inception, MMA bouts on Pay Per View (PPV) have begun to challenge rivals professional boxing and wrestling.
