Mixed Martial Arts
Mixed Martial Arts or MMA as an idea of fighting is to combine any martial arts form in order to defeat the opponent. Lots of videos available on YouTube. Just search for "MMA".
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu with its emphasis on joint-locks, ground wrestling and a variety of grapples forms the basis on which most MMA fighters can establish him/herself. Muay Thai with its ferocious precision kicks, usage of knees in a clinch and lightning-fast fist strikes serves as a foundation as well. Judo, with the throws, holds and grapples is also effective.
These martial arts are particularly effective in an MMA bout because fights often resemble brawls and in close contact, a foundation in the above forms of martial arts have proven to be vital to winning a match.
Will a Renaissance man be particularly attracted to the idea of MMA?
