Mixed Martial Arts at Casa De Luta Saarbrücken
MMA is a blend of different martial art styles to create a comprehensive martial art that is governed by its own rules. The early days of mixed martial arts were the first time in modern human history that fighters from different martial arts styles could compete with one another. It gave the world a chance to finally answer the question of “which martial art is the best?”
The early days of mixed martial arts were dominated by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighters like Royce Gracie, who took their opponents down and submitted them. Royce won the first, second, and fourth UFC tournaments, immortalizing himself in MMA history.
Back then, there weren’t many rules either. Almost everything was allowed. The unified MMA rules were eventually developed as mixed martial arts looked for mainstream acceptance. These rules turned MMA into the global sport it is today.
The success of BJJ fighters dwindled as MMA fighters grew and more fighters started training in it. The wrestlers had their era, with fighters like Kazushi Sakuraba leading the way. Then came the age of strikers, with fighters like Anderson Silva and Chuck Liddell dominating their respective divisions for years.
As the sport of mixed martial arts grew, so did the combat style. Trainers eventually realized teaching different aspects of fighting under one roof was more efficient for their students. The first generations of MMA fighters had to train BJJ at one gym and striking somewhere else.
Nowadays, MMA gyms are as popular as any other martial art as many people look to learn a martial art that prepares them for the different aspects of fighting. Mixed martial arts is closer to a real fight than any other martial art, making it the ideal martial art for self-defense.
