WHAT IS MMA & BJJ
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 answer to that question is “none,” if you’re wondering. Each martial art has its pros and cons. How competent a fighter is at their particular style has more to do with their ability to defeat an opponent than the specific style they train in.
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.
