What is MMA?
Mixed martial arts, also widely known as MMA, is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. When the sport first exploded into mainstream media in 1993 by the Gracie family, it was considered as a no-holds-barred contest that is too brutal and dangerous. But over two decades later, MMA has evolved into a well-regulated, highly skilled sport that is widely accepted by mainstream sports fans.
MMA is a full-contact martial art that allows fighters to use striking and grappling techniques from a variety of martial arts disciplines such as boxing, Brazilian jiujitsu, judo, karate, Muay Thai, wrestling, and many more.
