History A. First main point: Mixed Martial Arts has been around a lot longer than most people would think. 1. On ezinearticles.com James Dunn an expert author and a MMA trainer says that it all started in 648 B.C. in Greece. a. (factual illustration) according to ezinearticles they called their fighting competition “pankration” which was pretty much an anything goes battle with no real referees.
II. When it first started people basically looked at it as a very physical wrestling match, and now there are so many different styles of fighting.
a. (expert testimony) Fights were becoming Jiu-jitsu and boxing matches, which was basically submission fighting against punching. According to Dana White “the best fighter is someone who can adapt to any style, to be formless, to adopt an individual's own style and not following the system of styles."
III. Organized regulated fights were not fully formed in the United States until people recognized the popularity of the sport.
a. ( Expert testimony)Organized associations stepped up and formed one organization called the Ultimate Fighter Competition to regulate the professional fighting with …show more content…
rules.
b. The sport gained international exposure and widespread publicity in United States in 1993, when Brazilian Jiu-jitsu fighter Royce Gracie handily won the first Ultimate Fighting Championship tournament, subduing three challengers in a total of just five minutes, sparking a revolution in the martial arts.( Peligro, Kid (2003). The Gracie Way: An Illustrated History of the World's Greatest Martial Arts Family. Invisible Cities Press. pp. 79–84)
(Transition) Now that you have a understanding of the history of Mixed martial arts and how it has formed into the Ultimate Fighting Competition let’s take a look at the different strategies and training of a fighter.
B. Second Main Point: There are over 9 strategies of Mixed Martial Arts that makes each fighter unique in the way they train and fight in a competition. 1. The different disciplines that are commonly used in cage fighting are Karate, kickboxing, Muy Thai, Judo, wrestling, Brazilin Jiu-jitsu, and Kenpo. Each and every art that is listed has a different strategy to their fighting game such as striking, knees, elbows, kicks, takedowns, submissions, clinching, control, sweeps, holds, and just about everything that does not include eye gouging and kicking in the groin.
A. Jiu-jitsu and wrestling are some of the more popular Arts that just about every fighter must learn before becoming a cage fighter. Jiu-jitsu is a discipline that includes the ground game of a fight like wrestling. The strategies of a jiu-jitsu fighter is taking down an opponent and going for a submission such as a choke or an arm or leg lock. Wrestling helps a jiu-jitsu artist with ground control and taking down an
opponent.
b. Kickboxing and muy thai I would say would have to be the next art that is vital to a cage fighter. A kick boxer and muy thai artist are trained to be both excellent with their kicks but also with their punching ability too. The strategies of a Kick boxer or muy Thai artist is to stay on their feet and throw kicks, punches, elbows or knees to their opponent.
c. Karate is an art that is more of a defensive tactic during the fight. Karate artist are smart and spend more of their time training toward blocking and technical punching, kicking, and elbows that end a match fast. Karate masters such as George St. Pierre, Lyto Machida, and Chuck Lidell were all former and still Ultimate Fighter Champions which shows karate can be a very important aspect to a fight.
