MMA-Mixed Martial Arts

ive trained mma for 6 years now and coached for 3, its the best sport ever. click my profile for links to my fight info. i havent fought in just over a year now due to school and well...life. but mma holds a huge part of my heart. my strength is that i am technical and well rounded. i dont hit as hard as some but i have fast hands and i am relentless. i wish i could upload my fights on youtube, mabey ill get someone to do that so you all can check them out.

as for the effectiveness of mma, anyone can be beaten, but when your are proficient in the main 4 styles of mma (bjj wrestling boxing and mau thai) you can choose how you wish to fight a streetfight, and anyone with half a brain isnt going to go for takedowns if your attacker has friends with him, you would be wise to sprawl and brawl. i think for one on one self defence mma can not be toppled in its efficiency. its saved my butt in the street a time or two. i never start fights though, im a nice well behaved boy.

Now, if you're talking about a fluid, "combat" situation - with unknown potential attackers, potential weapons, various objectives, etc. I think it requires a different mindset. That's where I think MMA - as a martial art would have some holes.

Oh sure, there are situations where a different mindset would be good, especially grappling isn't a good idea if you're fighting tons of dudes (like Deathmetal said), but I think the training is suited just as well as any other martial art to a real situation.:tu

jockeys. lyoto does kyokushin not shotokan bud. his muay thai is good to he just doesnt use it as much because his kyokushin throws people off so much
