MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) is the general term used to describe the convergence of striking, grappling, and submission techniques as well as self- defense skills.
MMA's history can be traced back as far as 648 BC.
For thousands of years, the martial arts were shrouded in mystery. Each style or system asserted that is was the best; its masters unbeatable. Only a few individuals, most notably the late Bruce Lee, dared to question the way traditional arts were taught.
Today, the top combatants are serious professional athletes— highly cross-trained in a variety of the arts that form the foundation of MMA. The sport has taken the globe by storm and remains one of the fastest-growing, fanatically popular forms of athletic competition in the world.
Karate is Martial Arts that get its roots from Okinawa and Japan. Kyoshi Butturini has Black Belts in four different styles of Karate and blends them into a simple, easy to learn system.
Muay Thai Kickboxing is referred to as "The Art of the Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art. A practitioner of Muay Thai thus has the ability to execute strikes using eight "points of contact," as opposed to "two points" (fists) in Western boxing and "four points" (fists, feet) used in the primarily sport-oriented forms of martial arts.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu / Grappling is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force an opponent to submit or be knocked out depending on what submission method is used. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant. It primarily uses Judo and wrestling takedowns to gain the dominant position.
