Wichita Mixed Martial Arts Classes
What is Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)?
Simply put, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is the fastest growing sport in the world today. MMA was brought to the United States in 1993 by the Gracie family and was quickly recognized as the most effective martial art in the world. While Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is still the basis of MMA, it is now obvious that it takes a well rounded, highly conditioned athlete to excel in the sport today.
MMA competitors utilize a combination of BJJ, wrestling, Mauy Thai Kick Boxing, boxing, and other martial arts to secure a victory. There are a number of ways to win including knock-out, submission, and judge’s decision. Unlike how the sport was originally portrayed, it is a sport with a high level of sportsmanship and technique. There are a number of rules to protect the safety of the competitors. In fact, the sport has been shown to be safer than other sporting events, including boxing and football.
