MMA is a full-contact combat sport that combines techniques from various martial arts disciplines. The goal is to be a well-rounded fighter who can compete effectively in striking (standing up) and grappling (on the ground). MMA incorporates elements from sports like boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai. Fighters can win a match by knockout, submission, or by the judges’ decision after a set number of rounds.
