Basic MMA notebook 1

MMA, mixed martial arts is a fighting sport, or dicipline that combines striking and grappling.


Striking is throwing punches and making kicks, knees and elbows.

And grappling concists out of takedowns, holds, locks, chokes and bars.
 With grappling a match is won by making the opponent tap out.


All rounders
 Are good at both striking and grappling

Strikers
 Mainly, or only win by striking and mainly try to prevent ground contact
Important for strikers:
 Takedown defence and ground survival

Grapplers
 Mainly, or almost only win by grappling and mainly, or almost only try to make the opponent tab out
Important for grapplers:
 Defence against striking, getting to the clinch, takedown and grappling fast and effectively
