MMA: The Basics
A fighter training in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) is said to be a well-rounded athlete, as MMA combines many different skills and tactics of a number other sports. It is therefore unique. There are as many avid fans of the sport as there are against it- some may find it exciting, while some may find it brutal and barbaric. But whatever side you are leaning towards to, to be able to appreciate the art and beauty of MMA, one must understand its basics.
Where did MMA start? The roots of the sport can be traced back during the early 1900s as various mixed style contests took place throughout places like Japan, Europe and the Pacific Rim. Through time, the modern MMA competition emerged with the launch of UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championships) in 1993, although in 1989 professional MMA events were already held by Shooto, a combat sport and a particular fighting system derived from shoot wrestling. Rick Blume, president and CEO of battlecade coined the name Mixed Martial Arts in 1995. universite.
