Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)
is basically competitors combining the knowledge and techniques of many
different Martial Arts into one fluid style that works for them. Judo is
very specific in its very nature.
When MMA is thought of, or
talked about, it’s some of the other martial arts that are pointed out such as, Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu, Karate, Kickboxing, and many more.
Judo seems to of been
thrust into the spotlight recently. A martial art that is vastly underrated in MMA today
Knowing Judo gives you
some excellent moves to use in the cage. Judoka do their best work while in the
clinch. It can also be converted into excellent takedown defences.
Judo
is no slouch on offense either. There are many explosive throws and
tosses that can put your opponent on the mat with greater speed than any
other martial art known, that can stun
your opponent while you move to the finish.
In a large majority of
MMA wins, the “ground-and-pound” seems to take out more fighters than any
other. There’s no better and direct method of getting them to the ground than
with what judoka consider basic judo throws.
Keep watching... you’ll see
more and more of it entering the cage area, as MMA fighters realize what needs
adjusting.
