About MMA

​

Mixed martial arts (MMA), is a full contact combat sport that allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques, both standing and on the ground, from a variety of other combat sports.

 

The roots of modern mixed martial arts can be traced back to the ancient Olympics where one of the codified full range unarmed combat was in the sport of pankration.

​

Because MMA uses only the most efficient techniques for unarmed combat out of karate, kickboxing, judo, Brasilian jujutsu, Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, boxing and thai-boxing, it is generally accepted as the “the royal discipline” of all martial arts. This is also the reason why the most efficient self-defense system, the Israelian Krav Maga, is nowadays using the techniques and experiences developed in MMA for self-defense purposes in unarmed confrontations.

 

MMA can be practised for: 1) self defence ; 2) general physical fitness; 3) competition fighting sport. MMA is traditionally a full contact sport, but since some years it can be practised – both in training and competitions – as a light/semi contact sport with more and stricter rules, eliminating the hardest techniques like elbox strikes etc from competitions. A trained MMA fighter can not only compete in MMA competitions (semi and full contact) but can also successfully participate in Kick boxing, Thai Boxing, Judo, Jiu Jitsu and submission grappling competitions.
