Grappling/Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)
Grappling is the gripping, handling and controlling of an opponent without the use of striking (submission and joint locks). Grappling can be used in stand up or on the ground. Grappling is an essential part of both clinch fighting and ground fighting. Grappling techniques and defenses to grappling techniques are also considered important in self defense applications.
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a combative sport that combines aspects from many different martial arts. Competitors are often skilled in boxing, wrestling, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, karate and other combative arts. MMA fighters train equally in standup and ground fighting.
