What is MMA? MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts and is the fastest growing sport on the planet! It is exactly as the acronym suggests which is a mixture of different martial arts all put together to produce a formidable adversary who is well versed and knows what to do whether the fight stays standing up or goes to the ground. The essence is either striking or grappling. Striking will most likely come from Boxing, Thai Boxing aka Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Karate, Kyokushinkai karate, Taekwondo and other stand up fighting sytems. Grappling or ground fighting will likely be a mixture of BJJ - Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Sambo, and Wrestling. At around 1993 MMA came about in popularity, even though Bruce Lee had coined it JKD which was also a mixture of fighting arts, the UFC was born, which is now the megalith Ultimate Fighting Championship that it is today.
