Mixed Martial Arts
By: Hamad Darwish
What is Mixed Martial Arts?
MMA is a full contact sport that lets you
use many different fighting styles in
competition
It allows you to perform a variety of
grappling and striking attacks both
standing and on the ground
648 B.C.
 In 648 B.C. Greeks started a sport called Pankration, (All
Powers) which was the first form of fighting with rules. The only
rules were no biting and no eye gouging. I consider these very
insignificant considering that the matches would sometimes last
hours and end with death, although you would knock your
opponent out or make them submit . The sport became popular
when it was introduced to the Olympic games.
The Historty of MMA
 MMA originated in 1993
with UFC (ultimate
fighting championship)
 When MMA first started
there were no set rules
 Weight classes did not
exist and fighters did
not have to follow any
guidelines
Current Rules & Regulations
 MMA bouts consist of 3, five minute rounds (Championship bouts are 5, five minute rounds)

RULES- *No eye gouging * No shots
below the belt * No hair pulling * No
knee strikes while on the ground * No
head butting!
Weight Classes
 Lightweight - over 145 lbs. to
155 lbs
 Welterweight - over 155 lbs. to
170 lbs
 Middleweight - over 170 lbs. to
185 lbs
 Light Heavyweight - over 185
lbs. to 205 lbs
 Heavyweight - over 205 lbs. to
265 lbs
Fighting Styles
 Boxing- These fighters use great footwork and quick jabs
for offense.
 Wrestling- These fighters attempt throws and takedowns
and use strong grapples to win.
 Jiu-Jitsu- These fighters do well off their back and perform
strong submissions.
 Freestyle- These fighters did not start with any specific
fighting style but base how they perform on their
opponent.
Muay Thai
Muay Thai is a style that started in Thailand and grew across south
east Asia. Muay Thai is a combination of boxing and grappling
knees and kicks. In Thailand it’s the most popular sport and is
similar to boxing but is much more reliant on kicks and grappling.
Unlike boxing which focuses on two contact points Muay Thai
focuses on eight. some unlike boxing are knees, shins elbows and
others.
Boxing
Modern Boxing has been around for hundreds of years but has
changed recently to focus on punches only. There are two
points of focus in boxing different from any other martial arts
sports. The two points are the head and the abdomen. Boxing
matches can last up to ten three minute rounds and end when the
opponent is unable to get up after 10 seconds

.
Judo
Judo is a style that started in Japan, and
means "gentle way" which is far from what
this sport is. In Judo the object is to throw
your opponent to ground and make them submit.
The focus is joint locks and using
momentum to throw them in the air. This
style led to the creation of all other similar
sports like Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Although Jiu Jitsu started in Japan Brazil martial arts schools
quickly created their own version which is now widely popular in
the UFC. The idea behind it is that a smaller weaker opponent can
still win against a stronger opponent by using grappling and choke
hold submissions.
The UFC
The Ultimate Fighting Championship is by far the most
popular and completive MMA league. Unlike other
leagues the UFC has a stockpile of the most talented
fighters from all around the world. In the UFC
competitors mix up every kind of fighting style from
every country. Any style fighter can fight any other
style fighter in their weight division. Weight divisions run
from Light Weight 146 to 155 up to Heavy Weights 206
to 265. With people fighting from Brazil to Japan there’s
never a dull moment.
The Rules
In the UFC there are several different
ways to win inspired from every league.
A knock out is when your opponent
cannot stand after 10 seconds, which
came from boxing, TKO, or technical
Knock out when the referee calls a stop to
the fight and also by submission,
coming from Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu.
Judges Decision
* Judges use the 10-Point system.
*10 points must be awarded to the winner
of the round and nine points or less must be
awarded to the loser.
•Evaluation depending on effective striking,
•effective grappling,
control of the fighting area and effective
aggressiveness and defense.
