Mixed Martial Arts is quickly becoming one of the most popular sports since the 1990s, however the sport itself can be traced back thousands of years with the Olympic event of Pankration in Greece. Although modern MMA was considered quite controversial decades ago, it has been refined with a strict set of rules and is known across the globe for fast pace and exciting exhibitions. 

Although MMA has been largely showcased by athletic promotions such as the UFC or Bellator, however it is also an incredible athletic endeavor for those who are not necessarily interested in active competition. Mixed Martial Arts is a combination of two traditional schools of martial arts – grappling (Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) and striking (Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay-Thai).
