What is MMA?
MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts. It is the mixing of different styles of martial arts to create a non specific style. There are no belts or set curriculum in MMA like you see in other martial arts like Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Kung Fu, Jiu jitsu etc. MMA mixes different styles so practitioners learn how to fight from a stand up position and from a ground position.
Where did MMA start?
Although something similar to today's MMA can be traced back to ancient Greece, MMA gained popularity after the launch of the UFC, Ultimate Fighting Challenge, in 1993. It was an event to try and determine what martial art style was the dominant style. What they discovered was you need a combination of styles to be a true champion in the UFC.
