================================
Today, martial arts have become very much popular among
young kids and adults alike. Different types of martial
arts are being learnt by people for many reasons like
self-protection, weight loss and for physical fitness. Some
of the most popular martial arts are judo, karate and
jujitsu. Mixed martial arts are also becoming more and more
popular these days. Mixed martial arts involve the use of a
combination of martial arts techniques to overpower the
attacker. Mixed martial arts (MMA) championships like the
Ultimate Fighting Championships and PRIDE Fighting
Championships have added to the gaining popularity of this
art.
Mixed martial arts and the new age boxing have their
origins in martial arts like judo, karate and jujitsu. They
began as experiments in which one martial arts combat
technique was used against another in an attempt to find
out which technique was most suitable against real life
attackers. Modern martial competitions are based on these
events but stricter rules have been implemented. These
rules were implemented so that mixed martial arts would
gain more popularity. However, there are no universal rules
and rules vary from place to pace. Also there is no central
organization that governs modern martial arts rules.
The most common techniques used in mixed martial arts are
striking and grappling. A variety of techniques like
kicking, kneeing and punching are used to strike the
opponent. Grappling techniques involve throwing, sweeping
and holds. As rules vary among organizations some moves may
or may not be considered legal. For example, head butting
and spinal locks are legally valid in some championships
and illegal in others. Techniques like eye-gouging and
spinal locks are not considered legal.
Participation in modern martial arts championships requires
a lot of hard work and training. Training makes perfect in
overpowering any sort of attack. Training also helps one to
stay fit and gain confidence. It also improves one's power
of character. A variety of techniques are taught during
training. Boxing and kick-boxing are taught to make the
standup techniques effective while jujitsu is used to
dominate the ground attacks. Many styles have to be adapted
to achieve success in modern martial arts. Sticking to a
single technique may prove itself to be ineffective.
Further, these styles have to be changed and adapted to the
situation. Most of the MMA competitors learn all the styles
together and independently under many coaches. Flexibility
and adaptive nature play an important role in being
successful. Being competent is the only key to success in
modern martial arts.
