Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques, both standing and on the ground, from a variety of other combat sports and martial arts. Various mixed-style contests took place throughout Europe, Japan and the Pacific Rim during the early 1900s. In 1980 CV Productions, Inc. created the first regulated MMA league in the United States named Tough Guy Contest, later renamed Battle of the Superfighters, sanctioning ten tournaments in Pennsylvania. However, in 1983 the Pennsylvania State Senate passed a bill prohibiting the sport. The combat sport of vale tudo that had developed in Brazil from the 1920s was brought to the United States by the Gracie family in 1993 with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
The first documented use of the name mixed martial arts was in a review of UFC 1 by television critic Howard Rosenberg, in 1993. The term gained popularity when the website newfullcontact.com, then one of the largest covering the sport, hosted and reprinted the article. The question of who actually coined the term is subject to debate.
Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practices, which are practiced for a variety of reasons: as self-defense, military and law enforcement applications; as competition, physical fitness, mental and spiritual development; as well as entertainment and the preservation of a nation's Intangible cultural heritage.
Although the term martial art has become associated with the fighting arts of eastern Asia, it originally referred to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. The term is derived from Latin, and means "arts of Mars", the Roman god of war. Some authors have argued that fighting arts or fighting systems would be more appropriate on the basis that many martial arts were never "martial" in the sense of being used or created by professional warriors.
Martial arts may be categorized along a variety of criteria, including:
Marcus Valerius Martialis (known in English as Martial /ˈmɑːrʃəl/) (March, between 38 and 41 AD – between 102 and 104 AD), was a Roman poet from Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula) best known for his twelve books of Epigrams, published in Rome between AD 86 and 103, during the reigns of the emperors Domitian, Nerva and Trajan. In these short, witty poems he cheerfully satirises city life and the scandalous activities of his acquaintances, and romanticises his provincial upbringing. He wrote a total of 1,561, of which 1,235 are in elegiac couplets. He is considered to be the creator of the modern epigram.
Knowledge of his origins and early life are derived almost entirely from his works, which can be more or less dated according to the well-known events to which they refer. In Book X of his Epigrams, composed between 95 and 98, he mentions celebrating his fifty-seventh birthday; hence he was born during March 38, 39, 40 or 41 AD (x. 24, 1), under Caligula or Claudius. His place of birth was Augusta Bilbilis (now Calatayud) in Hispania Tarraconensis. His parents, Fronto and Flaccilla, appear to have died in his youth.
MMA commonly refers to:
MMA may also refer to:
Bruce Lee (Chinese: 李小龍; born Lee Jun-fan, Chinese: 李振藩; November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973) was a Hong Kong American martial artist, action film actor, martial arts instructor, philosopher, filmmaker, and the founder of Jeet Kune Do. Lee was the son of Cantonese opera star Lee Hoi-Chuen. He is widely considered by commentators, critics, media and other martial artists to be one of the most influential martial artists of all time, and a pop culture icon of the 20th century. He is often credited with helping to change the way Asians were presented in American films.
Lee was born in Chinatown, San Francisco on November 27, 1940 to parents from Hong Kong and was raised in Kowloon with his family until his late teens. He was introduced to the film industry by his father and appeared in several films as a child actor. Lee moved to the United States at the age of 18 to receive his higher education, at the University of Washington, at Seattle and it was during this time that he began teaching martial arts. His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim, sparking a surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West in the 1970s. The direction and tone of his films changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in the United States, Hong Kong and the rest of the world.

Wenn zwei Sportler in einen vergitterten Ring steigen und hart mit Händen und Füßen aufeinander losgehen, dann nennt man das "Mixed Martial Arts". Eine Mischung unter anderem aus Boxen und Ringen, die immer beliebter wird. Das mag daran liegen, dass die Kämpfe ziemlich spektakulär und die Athleten keine brutalen Schläger, sondern eigentlich ganz nette Überzeugungssportler sind.

Les mixed martial arts (MMA), aussi nommés arts martiaux mixtes voire moins récemment combat libre ou free-fight, sont un sport de combat complet, associant pugilat et lutte au corps à corps. Les deux combattants peuvent utiliser de nombreuses techniques; selon les fédérations sont autorisées des techniques de percussion telles que coups de pied, de poing, de genou et de coude, mais aussi des techniques de projections et de soumission (grappling) et quelquefois des techniques particulières de percussion au sol. Sport considéré comme récent2 plus efficace qu'artistique, le combat libre existe en réalité depuis fort longtemps (à travers la lutte et le pugilat). On en retrouve des traces dans les applications de combat de nombreux arts martiaux anciens. Néanmoins, ce sport est interdit dans ...

Mixed Martial Arts (kurz MMA) genießt in Deutschland bislang einen zweifelhaften Ruf. Meist wird der Sport als legalisierter Straßenkampf hingestellt in dem es keine Regeln gibt. Es wurde eindeutig meinungsmachend gegen den Sport vorgegangen, sodass er aufgrund seiner "Brutalität" und "Unzumutbarkeit" aus dem deutschen Fernsehen verbannt wurde. In diesem Film wird eine andere, fast schon erschreckend normale, Seite gezeigt. Keine Menschen die vor dem Abgrund ihrer Existenz die Flucht in einen Hahnenkampf suchen, sondern Sportler die sich in der anspruchsvollsten Disziplin der Kampfsportwelt versuchen. Gregor Herb gibt hier Aufschluss über den Sport und seine groben Unterkategorien bzw. die "Urformen" aus denen er sich zusammen setzt (Stand Up/Boxen/Kickboxen/usw. und Grappling oder auch...
