What Fighting Style Is Considered To Be Most Effective For Mixed Martial Arts?

By Teagen James


Modern day mixed martial art battles infrequently pit a single style against one other style. Though fighters

might be stronger within a single fighting style, every significant rival cross trains in the three

primary parts of mixed martial-arts:

Striking

Through the years most selfdefense skills faded away from mixed martial-arts competition, whereas other

ones strengthened. Notably taekwandoo, kung fu, and karate have all demonstrated to be inadequate in the

cage over additional striking styles. Kickboxing, American boxing and Muay Thai with its focus on

knees, kicks and elbows have proven the most effective striking art inside mixed fighting arts.

Wrestling

The capability of taking your competitor down toward the mat, and the capability of protecting against

takedowns will be critical in mixed martial-arts. Fighters who've got a dominant wrestling style

oftentimes take down their opponents and punish them using strikes while they keep them from the

ability to get back up.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

In the begining of mixed martial-arts, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu's success in the sport was due in

part because of the truth that many of the opponents failed to possess any information in submission

defense. Now wrestlers and strikers all train elemental submission defense so as to keep

themselves from being arm-barred or choked out.

As most traditional martial arts were demonstrated not to be effective inside cage fights, there

include some exceptions. Lyoto Machida, former UFC Champ, baffles opponents with his strange

stance that is heavily influenced in karate. Machida's striking style isn't just karate; his style integrates

boxing striking ideas, footwork, and range.

The best wrestlers around the world are well-rounded inside all 3 parts of mixed martial arts. One

of the best MMA wrestlers around the world BJ Penn, is well known for his advanced submission talents, yet

also has got fantastic takedown defense, superb pokes and what some would say, the best

boxing within the UFC. Hall of Famer and former light heavyweight champ, Chuck Lidell was known

for his superb knockout power. Though generally well known as a striker, Chuck's extended background

in wrestling assisted him in earning a rep as an expert within takedown defense. Even the top

fighters of UFC experienced a difficult time taking Lidell down and keeping the fighter down.
