The techniques utilized in MMA ( mixed martial arts) competition generally fall into two categories: striking techniques (such as kicks, knees, punches and elbows ) and grappling techniques (such as clinch holds, pinning holds, submission holds, sweeps, takedowns and throws ). In a three-round fight, two rounds must be completed for a technical decision to be awarded and in a five-round fight, three rounds must be completed. Technical decision: in the unified rules of MMA, if a fighter is unable to continue due to an accidental illegal technique late in the fight, a technical decision is rendered by the judges based on who is ahead on the judges’ scorecards at that time. A result can also be overturned to a no contest if the fighter that was originally victorious fails a post fight drug test for banned substances.
No Contest: in the event that both fighters commit a violation of the rules, or a fighter is unable to continue due to an injury from an accidental illegal technique, the match will be declared a “No Contest”, except in the case of a technical decision in the unified rules. Moreover, if a fighter is unable to continue due to a deliberate illegal technique from his opponent, the opponent will be disqualified. Three warnings will result in a disqualification.

Retirement: a fighter is so dazed or exhausted that he/she cannot physically continue fighting. In some cases, the fighter may be injured. This is normally done when a fighter is being beaten to the point where it is dangerous and unnecessary to continue. However, if the match is stopped as a result of an injury from illegal actions by the opponent, either a disqualification or no contest will be issued instead.Ĭorner stoppage: a fighter’s corner may announce defeat on the fighter’s behalf by throwing in the towel during the match in progress or between rounds. The ring doctor will inspect the fighter and stop the match if the fighter is deemed unable to continue safely, rendering the opponent the winner. a fighter appears to have a significant injury such as a cut or a broken boneĭoctor Stoppage/Cut: the referee will call for a time out if a fighter’s ability to continue is in question as a result of apparent injuries, such as a large cut.a fighter appears to be losing consciousness as he/she is being struck.a fighter becomes dominant to the point where the opponent cannot intelligently defend themselves and is taking excessive damage as a result.Referee stoppage: The referee may stop a match in progress if:.This can occur when a fighter is choked unconscious, or when a bone has been broken in a submission hold (a broken arm due to a kimura, etc.) Technical Submission: the referee stops the match when the fighter is caught in a submission hold and is in danger of being injured. a physical tap on the opponent’s body or mat/floor.Submission: a fighter may admit defeat during a match by: As MMA rules allow submissions and ground and pound, the fight is stopped to prevent further injury to the fighter. Knockout (KO): as soon as a fighter is unable to continue due to legal strikes, his opponent is declared the winner. Victory in a match is normally gained either by the judges’ decision after an allotted amount of time has elapsed, a stoppage by the referee (for example if a competitor cannot defend himself intelligently) or the fight doctor (due to an injury), a submission, by a competitor’s cornerman throwing in the towel, or by knockout. In the West, the concept of combining elements of multiple martial arts was popularized by Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do during the late 1960s to early 1970s. At CATS Mumbai we teach MMA in a systematic & scientific manner. An early high-profile mixed martial arts bout was in 1951, fought between judoka Masahiko Kimura and Brazilian jiu jitsu founder Hélio Gracie in Brazil.
The Gracie family was known to promote Vale Tudo matches as a way to promote their own Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu style. In Brazil, there was the sport of Vale Tudo, in which fighters from various styles fought with little to no rules. Mixed martial arts ( MMA ) is a full-contact combat sport that allows striking and grappling, both standing and, on the ground, using techniques from various combat sports and martial arts.ĭuring the early 20th century, various mixed-style contests took place throughout Japan, Taiwan, and in the countries of the Four Asian Tigers.
