Mixed Martial Arts

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that allows a wide range of fighting techniques and skills from various martial arts disciplines. Competitors can use both striking and grappling techniques while standing or on the ground. MMA incorporates elements from disciplines such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, boxing, wrestling, judo, karate, and kickboxing, among others.

Fights typically take place in a cage or a ring and are governed by a set of rules that ensure the safety of the fighters while allowing for a diverse range of attacks and defenses. The sport has gained significant popularity worldwide, especially with the rise of organizations like the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). MMA emphasizes not only physical prowess but also strategy and conditioning, as fighters must be proficient in various aspects of combat sports to succeed.
