Knowledge is Power!

A Quick Guide Into Mixed Martial Arts


Mixed Martial Arts (also known as MMA) is an extremely popular in the world at present. Of course, most people do not know that the sports adapted by Mixed Martial Arts have been around for many centuries since, including the precursor of MMA itself.

Basically, Mixed Martial Arts is a full contact combat sport with wide variety of fighting techniques. These include the use of striking, clinch, and ground fighting techniques. The tactics are adapted from traditional and non-traditional martial arts and sports.

Within MMA, the popular disciplines (mostly other martial arts) have their own specific focus. Training in these other arts was necessary for the improvement of the fighters skills in the several phases of the competition.

Stand-up.
This is the first phase of the combat when the fighters meet for the first time. Needed are various forms of boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai and some forms of full contact karate. All these are needed for elbowing, kicking, kneeing, punching and to improve the fighters footwork.

Clinch
What are needed here is skills in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling, sambo, and judo. These are for clinching, takedowns and throws.

Ground game
Knowledge of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling, judo and sambo are needed to improve control and positioning abilities of the fighter while in ground (on the floor) positions, as well as to achieve submission holds and defending against them.

The strategies used in Mixed Martial Arts generally are in two groups: striking techniques and techniques in grappling.

Striking includes kicks, knees, and punching, while grappling consist of clinch holds, pinning, submission holds, sweeps, takedowns and throws.

Some techniques such as elbow strikes, head butts, and spinal locks have different interpretation from place to place. However, there is a universal ban on such techniques as biting, strikes to the groin, fish hooking, eye-gouging, and small joint manipulation (bending of finger and toes).

Some techniques are described to be hybrids which MMA fighters may use in the course of a competition.

Sprawl-and-brawl consists of effective striking while standing up, all the while avoiding ground fighting. The fighter does this by slamming his opponent to the ground so that he will release his grip on him.

Clinch fighters prevent their opponents from moving away into a more preferable distant range with enough elbow room to strike. The fighter tries to do a takedown on his opponent while striking using stomps, knees, elbows and the reliable punches.

Ground and pound fighting is taking the opponent to the ground with a takedown or a throw and obtain a dominant position and striking the opponent at will.

Nowadays, Mixed Martial Arts as a sport is still evolving, the competitors always seeking out new and effective ways to defeat their opponents discovering old ways, reinventing some and trying out new techniques copied from other sports.

Artistic Vision

Posted by Stacy Esch on November 6, 2023 at 8:15pm 10 Comments

Is an artist's "vision" primarily a product of experience or imagination? I don't want to pursue the simple answer that it's both. Is it primarily one or the other, of if it's just plain old both, how do they interact to create an imaginary world?

Is it true that some people have more artistic vision than others, or is this kind of seeing equally available to all?

Trying to find treatment.

In the beginning of August 2008 I was doing great. I went to the gym 3 times a week for 3 hours each time. I had lost weight and had a nice tone coming. I was nicely tanned with some help of the tanning beds. I rode my motorcycle back and forth to work and to the gym. In the middle of August a leg press came down on top of my head while i was trying to get it reset to the proper location so I would be able to use the equipment. I got very dizzy and had to go home, that was the end of my…
