WHAT IS MMA (MIXED MARTIAL ARTS)?
Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a dynamic and versatile combat sport that combines techniques from various martial arts disciplines into a single, comprehensive system. It’s widely recognised as the world’s fastest-growing combat sport — and for good reason. MMA offers the ultimate test of skill, strategy and physical conditioning.
At Team Perosh, our MMA training classes draw from the following disciplines:
- Muay Thai Kickboxing: For striking and clinch work.
- Boxing: To improve hand speed and defence.
- Greco-Roman & Freestyle Wrestling: For takedowns and grappling.
- Judo: To master throws and sweeps.
- Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ): For submissions and ground control.
Whether you’re training for fitness, self-defence, or competition, MMA offers a well-rounded path to mastery, developing both your body and mind.
THE EVOLUTION OF MMA
Combat sport has deep historical roots, evolving from the ancient Olympic sport of Pankration to Brazil’s Vale Tudo matches in the 20th century. The modern era of MMA began with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in 1993, where athletes from various martial arts backgrounds competed to determine the most effective techniques. Today, MMA continues to grow in popularity, thanks to events like The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) series.
