Martial arts were invented from the necessity of fighting bad elements living in societies. MMA techniques incorporated extreme kinds of lethal martial arts to be perfectly useful fighting instruments. MMA has all the elements to do damage and beat the attacker in any type of street-fighting scenario. Today we shall discuss the MMA capabilities of fighting in a street.
MMA Street Fight:
The frequency of physical assaults is based on crime rates, due to poverty and accessibility to weapons. In street fights, everyone can be opponents, including friends, relatives, or even strangers. Street fights are usually started with an outbreak of emotion such as anger, indignation, hatred, and fear.
MMA is the only fighting style that covers most elements of fighting to punish an assailant. Because the concept of the art is on mixing various striking and grappling techniques into one style of fighting. By doing so, it prepares an MMA fighter to fight in Stand Up, Clinch, and On the ground.
In most cases, each fighter excels in one fighting style like Wrestling or Muay Thai which is their “MMA base.” The key to MMA training is to add more techniques from other arts on top of your base disciplines to become all-rounders. Here are the four main arts at which every fighter has to be good:
Muay Thai (standup, clinch),
Boxing (standup, striking),
Wrestling (clinch, grappling), and BJJ (ground fighting, wrestling).
MMA elements:
MMA fighters must be versatile in many martial arts to cover all three elements. There are three core elements of MMA that lead you to master or excel at the sport.
Striking: Attacking your opponent with any part of your body.
Grappling:Holding your opponent and trying to take him or her down.
Submission:Involves using body joint locks or chokes.
All three methods are proven very effective to overpower enemies in the street.
MMA is not just the fastest-rising popular sport in the world, it is also the most versatile fighting style that is often seen as the best one when it comes to any type of fighting. Whether it’s a fight standing, in the clinch, or on the ground, MMA covers all the elements.
Street fighting is hand-to-hand combat in public places, between individuals or groups of people. An assault venue is usually a public place meaning a street and the fight sometimes results in serious injury occasionally causing even death. Some street fights can be gang-related. MMA practitioners, usually, can fight back against street attackers effectively unless the attackers wield firearms.
