What are the different styles of fighting in MMA?
Bas Rutten (Former UFC Heavyweight Champion) gives expert video advice on: What is 'mixed martial arts' or 'MMA'?; Is MMA a regulated legal sport in the US?; Is MMA more dangerous than professional boxing? and more...
Different styles in mixed martial arts - striking. Let's say try boxing, so everything is allowed - knees, kicks, punches, elbows. Then you have wrestling, and you need to know wrestling. Of course you need to know the ground game, and this is very important. Not jujitsu - jujitsu is with the gi. You need to do the ground game without a gi. You're fighting without a gi, that means train without a gi. Fighting with and without a gi is a big difference. With a gi you got a lot of traction, you can hold the gi, you can't do that if they don't wear it. On top of that, of course, we got, well we got the wrestling, I already mentioned that. So, those three major things would be it - striking, wrestling, submissions.
