Mixed Martial Arts

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that combines various martial arts disciplines, allowing participants to use both striking and grappling techniques. It encompasses techniques from boxing, wrestling, judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, karate, muay thai, and other martial arts. MMA competitions are typically held in a cage or ring, where athletes compete under a set of rules that regulate the allowable techniques and ensure the safety of the fighters. Fighters can win a match by knockout, submission, or judges’ decision based on performance criteria. MMA has gained significant popularity globally, with organizations like the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) leading the professional scene. The sport emphasizes skill, athleticism, and strategy, making it a dynamic and multifaceted form of competition.
