Fedor Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) PS What are mixed martial arts? Mixed martial arts in the form we are used to seeing is a rather new sport. The Ancient Greeks practiced a form of fighting called Pankration which involved striking (punching/Kicking) and grappling. It bears many similarities to modern mixed martial arts. The Romans also practiced this sport until it was banned for it was a "pagan" practice. Ever since there was no sport that combined different fighting styles. The Greeks are the first people to have fighting tournaments that combined different disciplines into one sport. Until the modern era we only had boxing, kick boxing and karate that only focuses on one specific thing in the fight game and only fight people who practice the same discipline as they. When the UFC started in 1993 it was a show to figure out which discipline had the best overall fighters. There was basically no rules at all. The few rules in the first few ufc was no biting, no small joint manipulation and no eye gouging. Fights often went to the ground because the stand up fighters like karate or boxing had no training for take down defense which resulted for many was to be ground and pounded or choked out. The first few mma events like the ufc the fighters at that time did not cross train. Cross training= Training in many different discipline like sambo for your ground game and boxing for your stand up game. That is why today it's called mixed martial arts because the fighters train in many fighting disciplines. Today we have many rules for mma. In USA we follow something called the unified rules. All events in the USA must have the same rules like 5 min rounds etc... short history of the ufc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjKOeVSQ1C4 History of Pride fighting Championships... I highly suggest anyone that is new to the sport watch this documentary. When Pride was around it had the best fighters in the world. 3 Former Pride fighters are now champions in the UFC.

Lanista Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 PS What are mixed martial arts? Mixed martial arts in the form we are used to seeing is a rather new sport. The Ancient Greeks practiced a form of fighting I really admire these guys, but I essentially find the ground-work boring. Appreciate that it's technical, tiring and all of that stuff, but I think you also have to have some idea of what's going on to appreciate it, which may preclude some of the audience. They say that UFC is the fastest growing sport though, don't they, and it does - from what I understand - seem mercifully clean of the corruption that is rife in boxing. Still...I much prefer the K1 events to UFC. Cheers Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
