Mixed Martial Arts

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full-contact fighting sport that combines techniques from various combat sports. The concept of MMA has its roots in ancient civilizations such as China, Greece, and Japan, where combat sports were used as forms of entertainment and self-defense. The modern version of MMA began to take shape in the 20th century, with the establishment of events such as the UFC in 1993, which was initially promoted as a competition to find the most effective martial arts for real unarmed combat.learn more on wikipedia
