What is the highest event of martial arts fighting? An event in which all martial arts can participate?

MMA is an unrestricted project. Personally, I prefer UFC in the United States, PRIDE in Japan (it seems that this is gone) and K 1 in Japan. Personally, I think this K 1 is not as good as the last one. Now I'll give you some information.

Mixed martial arts (short for Mixed Martial Arts)

( 1)

MMA is the abbreviation of "mixed martial arts" in English, that is, mixed martial arts competition or mixed fighting competition.

MMA is an excellent sport with ornamental, entertaining and competitive features, and now it has become the main event of international martial arts fighting competition. MMA is a perfect combination of boxing, taekwondo, judo and wrestling, which can be said to be a fighting decathlon. MMA competition is a breakthrough in the rules of sports competition. MMA rules treat all martial arts equally, and practitioners from different martial arts schools can compete in the same field under the unified rules. MMA rules and regulations allow all experts to compete in an open and fair environment, which is a truly fair way of competition. Various techniques such as hitting, wrestling and joint skills are allowed in the competition, and the competition will continue after the players fall to the ground. Martial arts skills such as kicking, hitting, throwing and hugging can be perfectly displayed.

Modern MMA is a wonderful fighting competition, which combines taekwondo, judo, wrestling, kung fu and other fighting techniques. MMA has unified competition rules, and the formulation of the rules is impartial, which will neither favor a certain martial arts nor put a certain martial arts at a disadvantage. Participants can use boxing, kicking, wrestling, locking, twisting and other techniques. The competition can be held in the same boxing ring as the boxing ring, or in an octagonal field with guardrails. The way to win a game is similar to boxing, that is, KO wins, the superior wins, the doctor terminates the game, the opponent abstained, scored, or disqualified. But unlike boxing or kicking, players can also win the game by making their opponents admit defeat. When a player wants to stop the game because of being entangled, punching too hard or exhaustion, he can give up on his own initiative. The whole game was smooth and clear. When the players fall to the ground, the game continues, and the referee rarely calls a time-out. The division of competition heavyweights is basically the same as boxing, wrestling, judo and Sanda. Non-championship games are generally three rounds; The championship is usually five rounds; Each round lasts five minutes, with a one-minute break between rounds.

The history of MMA

The comprehensive Wushu competition can be traced back to the 33rd Olympic Games in ancient Greece in 648 BC, which was called Pankration at that time. The perfect participant should be the best wrestler among boxers, or the best boxer among wrestlers. Participants not only need superb and comprehensive martial arts, but also good courage, psychological quality and tactical arrangement are the key factors to win the competition.

Modern MMA originated in Vale Tudo, Brazil in the 1920s. Vale Tudo means infinity in Portuguese.

In Brazil, The Gracie Family initiated a new era of modern MMA movement in the early 20th century. They mainly use their family's self-defense technique-Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to participate in organizing competitions. Any martial arts can be used in the competition. There is no time limit for the competition, regardless of weight class. Games often last for hours, and the only way to win is to beat your opponent.

The Gracie Family introduced MMA competition to the United States, namely ultimate fighting championship (UFC), in 1993. UFC allows any genre of martial arts (such as karate, jujitsu, sumo, etc. ) and Olympic events (such as boxing, judo, wrestling, taekwondo) to participate in the competition, and decide which kungfu is the best under unified rules. UFC let the American audience see the contest of different kungfu in the same venue for the first time. Up to now, UFC has become the most influential MMA competition in the world and is recognized as one of the most entertaining and competitive sports events in the world. The success of UFC has been strongly supported by the international martial arts community. Now the champions of the Olympic Games and the World Championships, martial arts masters from all sides must participate in UFC. The success of UFC has promoted the development of MMA in the world, and MMA has become a global popular sport. At this point, MMA competition has become an official legal competition in all 50 States in the United States. In addition to the UFC competition once a month; There are nearly 100 different organizations in the United States that hold their own MMA competitions.

MMA campaign has been launched in Russia, Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Finland, Norway, Netherlands, Denmark and other European countries. In Asia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Taiwan Province Province, Thailand, the Philippines and other regions have also started to hold their own MMA competitions. It is particularly worth mentioning that Japan has now become another MMA developed country after the United States. PRIDE is the largest MMA organization in Japan, and ranks with UFC as the world leader in MMA competition. PRIDE usually holds a competition in Japan once a month, and the audience alone reaches tens of thousands or more. Even Japan's K- 1 organization, which has always been famous for boxing competitions, has now begun to transform half of its competitions into MMA competitions.

MMA competition has gradually become the final development direction of the world fighting competition. Modern professional MMA athletes are all highly skilled players, and they have undergone many years of professional training. Nowadays, MMA athletes are all top players in the world. Former Olympic and World Championship champions wrestling, judo, karate, boxing and jujitsu formed an excellent MMA team. When we stand at the new starting point of 2 1 century, we will have a general view of world Wushu; Comprehensive Wushu competition has become the mainstream concept of all kinds of advanced Wushu competitions in the world today.

Security of MMA

Maybe when MMA is mentioned, some people will associate it with blood and violence. So is MMA competition safe as a worldwide legalized sport? For those who have not been trained by MMA, the comprehensive Wushu competition seems to be unsafe on the surface. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding. Modern MMA should be said to be a very safe sport, which maintains a fairly good safety record. In its 80-year history, there was only one death record (1an unapproved competition held in Russia in 998). In other sports, such as Sanda, boxing, wrestling, football and even tug-of-war, there have been many casualties. In fact, the exaggerated description of MMA movement is just a kind of commercial speculation, which is totally a stunt to attract more audiences. The following is a set of casualty statistics about MMA sports and other sports:

International Boxing Committee (Japan's famous MMA competition organization):

There are 482 games in six years.

In six years, 146 cases were injured.

The injury rate was 9.5% (every five minutes)

Up to now, the death toll is 1.

There are 3 deaths per year on average (65438+ 0.3 deaths per 65438+ 10,000 people).

On average, 12 athletes die from training every year.

Diving * * * Statistics 1 1 Death.

Seven people died in motorcycle racing.

Death in skydiving competition 123 people.

55 people died in the paragliding competition.

The reason why MMA has such a good safety record is mainly because its rules are safer and more humane, and the injuries suffered by athletes are much smaller than those of other sports. In the past ten years, MMA has perfected its competition rules, which perfectly integrated the enjoyment and safety.

Take the fist rule as an example: only punches, elbows, legs and feet are allowed to attack in the competition, and the competition usually lasts for five to ten rounds. After the player is knocked down, the referee will spend a few seconds. This makes the players have to hit the key parts of their opponents many times in a row and win; And after being knocked down, there are still eight to ten seconds to resume the game. Poor players have to endure a few seconds of long rounds besides being KO or abstained. Because the head, face, ribs and other key parts are often hit hard, the common injuries of boxing and kicking athletes include concussion, facial bleeding, brain injury, visceral bleeding and other serious fatal injuries. Therefore, the record of high casualties and high risks in boxing matches is closely related to its rules.

The good security of MMA competition mainly comes from its reasonable and humanized design of competition rules;

In MMA competition, throwing and hugging can be used to subdue opponents, thus greatly reducing the number of blows.

The game will continue after landing. Players can use joint skills and twisting skills when controlling the position through ground combat technology, so as to achieve the goal of subduing opponents without bloodshed.

In the competition, players can take the initiative to admit defeat, and the attacker will stop attacking after the opponent admits defeat. So as to truly achieve the purpose of uniform without hurting people, which is a good embodiment of martial arts civilization.

Finger gloves in MMA competition are more convenient to use lighter injury techniques such as throwing, hugging, joint skills and twisting skills, and are thinner than boxing gloves, which not only prevents hand injuries when hitting, but also reduces the strength of players' hitting, thus improving the safety factor of the competition.

Cancel the rule of seconds after being knocked down in MMA competition. As long as the player loses consciousness after being knocked down, the referee can stop the game. This way, players will not play when they are not awake.

Therefore, players' injuries are generally soft injuries such as abrasions, lacerations or abrasions; Slight injuries to fingers, toes and face; Serious injuries are rare.

In a sense, modern MMA competition is actually a substitute for boxing competition. MMA sports not only successfully reduced the competition injuries, but also greatly improved the enjoyment and fluency of the competition. Therefore, MMA competition can be said to bring a revolution of safety and appreciation to the history of modern sports fighting.
