What is this Program?
Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full contact
combat sport that allows a wide variety of
fighting techniques and skills, from a mixture
of martial arts traditions and non-traditions,
to be used in competitions. The rules allow
the use of both striking as well as grappling
techniques, both while standing and on the
ground. Such competitions allow martial
artists of different backgrounds to compete,
but be prepared! This is definitely not a
