Mixed Martial Arts MMA

Mixed Martial Art Supplies helps to prepare you for training and war. Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full contact sport that uses both grappling and striking techniques found in various martial art disciplines such as boxing, wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, kickboxing, Taekwondo, Karate, Judo, Krav Maga and other styles. Competitors fight both standing and on the ground with aggressive strikes and submissions. Competitors fight in cages and rings all across the world.

The level of fitness required to be competitive in MMA is very high and requires a determined level of commitment. Proficiency in either striking or grappling, if not both, is a must for success. Many competitors have Black Belts in one or more martial art disciplines.

The sport and business of MMA now rivals boxing and professional wrestling. MMA is for both male and female competitors and practitioners.

MMA is not only a sport -- anyone with the desire and fortitude can benefit from learning and training in mixed martial arts.

MMA Origins

Pankration was a martial art introduced into the Greek Olympic Games in 648 BC and founded as a blend of boxing and wrestling. Spartans were taught to use these techniques with the sole purpose of fighting and killing on the battlefield. For that reason, Spartans were not allowed to participate.

MMA Gear

What You Need To Have

MMA Kick BagIn MMA full contact sparring and grappling drills are the basic elements of the learning process. Good gear is essential in the prevention of injury, essential in competition, and essential for training. There are no fixed uniforms in MMA as there are in Karate, Judo and Aikido. Yet for practical training purposes there are some specific clothing items that are fairly standard:

MMA Shorts are stitched to allow maximum flexibility as well as to take an enormous amount of abuse from wrestling and kicks.
Groin protection is mandatory and is made for men and women. There are some compression undergarments/shorts made with insertable groin protection which may be more comfortable for some.

Rash Guard Shirts (long sleeve/short sleeve) are great for training. Rash guards designed for MMA wick away sweat, hold up under intense stress, and keep the muscles warm, preventing injury.

Grappling Gloves are specific to MMA and allow the ability to grab an opponent and still protect the hand.
Glove/Hand tape specific for boxing/MMA gloves is required to protect your hand.

Mouth pieces are another mandatory requirement to protect not only your own teeth, but also to protect your opponent.

Women use padded sports tops and wear rash guards.

Other equipment to consider: Ankle Wraps, Sport Tape, Head Gear, Shin guards and Kick Pads to wear while training.

Any home training should include a heavy bag and mat. Some of the more crucial personal gear items are good running shoes, skip/jump rope and a sports water bottle with attached straw to use while wearing a mouth piece.

With gear in every color from black to camouflage to pink, and in every size and for for every budget, there's no reason to sacrifice your training and potential. Get smart, get the right gear.

UFC Fighter Pay Vs Boxing Pay

Kevin Lole of Yahoo Sports wrote in 2008 on UFC vs Boxing Pay

In 2008 in UFC, the lowest base pay for any of the18 fighters on a card was $4,000. The UFC also paid bonuses for knockout of the night, submission of the night and fight of the night. Fighters also had bonuses for winning, the opportunity is there to double their pay. Not so in boxing.

Essential for the MMA athlete who trains at home. A good heavy bag will add power to your strikes and kicks. There really is no way to train without one. I liked this bag for it's Muai-Thai striking elements. You can use the handles to pull & knee the bag. 100 lb bags are also available, but require a main beam to use. If you are in an apartment, you will need a stand and/anchor or you will shake your neighbors right out of bed; trust me! (click on the link for this and you can order what ever set up you need)

Personally I say this would be for a beginner or a very young student. An inflatable bag can not endure the full time punishment of a leather or canvass heavy bag, nor will a DVD or book EVER take the place of mat time by a qualified trainer. That being said, here's what the company that makes this product has to say:

Mixed Martial Arts Training Kit is the fun way to get fit! Need to blow off a little steam? Turn your energy into results! Mixed Martial Arts is one of the hottest forms of entertainment ever to hit the wide world of sports, and with this Training Kit, you can enjoy the benefits of the MMA workout! Inflatable Strike Trainer has prominent kick / punch targets that correspond to strike zones on an opponent, so you can practice your fighting style without having to recruit a sparring partner. Also includes resistance training band, workout poster, hand and wrist wraps, instructional DVD and foot-operated inflation pump. Please consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program. Order today, and get a real "kick" out of your next workout! Mixed Martial Arts Training Kit

Ankle Support And MMA Shin Guards

If you twist an ankle you have no support, no pivot from with to kick or even throw a solid punch. Protect it. It's a small expense that will allow you to hone your skills without serious injury.

My Favorite MMA Book

MMA Travel Guide Modern Martial Arts Travel Guide

Amazon Price: $24.87 (as of 06/02/2012)Buy Now

My personal favorite is: "MMA Travel Guide Modern Martial Arts Travel Guide" by Mr William M. Stevens. Should the UFC have an MMA travel show? You heard it here first!

William advocates travel to the top two 'Fight Destinations' in the world: Muay Thai training camps in Thailand and Rio de Janeiro's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academies. The genesis of the MMA Travel Guide began with friends asking advice on how to find authentic training combined with a great travel experience. After years of being a tour guide to many of his friends, Mr. Stevens began to understand the perspectives of this unique travel group. Based his many years of travel to both destinations, he now invites MMA fans and travelers to learn how to train like a local and enjoy the trip of a lifetime!
