Abstract

A first version of MMA that we see today surfaced in the early 1990?s. Promoting matches with practitioners from different disciplines like karate, boxing, wrestling and the like, many match-ups at this time sought to identify the most effective style of martial art. As interest grew and a sport developed the athletes started training in more than one discipline to gain further competitive advantage. MMA is a sport designed for sparring and competition, it is complex and intuitive, it demand great skills to master it. The aim is to attain the highest athletic level possible, with as few technical limitations as possible, while still ensuring a low level of risk for the practitioners. MMA has had a tremendous expansion over the last years with an increase in the number of practitioners on all levels as well as followers and spectators. It is often referred to as the world’s fastest growing sport and there are positive examples of growth everywhere around the globe.
