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

By Teagen James


Current day mixed martial art battles seldom 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

first components of mixed martial arts:

Striking

Thru the years most martial arts faded away from mixed martial arts competition, while other

ones buttressed. Particularly taekwandoo, kung fu, and karate have all proven to be insufficient in the

cage over extra striking styles. Kickboxing, American boxing and Muay Thai with its target

knees, kicks and elbows have proved the most efficient striking art within mixed martial 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

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

capability 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 due to the truth that many of the opponents didn't possess any data in submission

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

themselves from being arm-barred or choked out.

As most standard fighting skills were demonstrated not to be effective within cage fights, there

include some exceptions. Lyoto Machida, previous UFC Champion, baffles opponents with his weird

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

boxing striking theories, 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 worldwide , BJ Penn, is well known for his advanced submission skills, yet

also has amazing takedown defense, awesome jabs and what some people might say, the best

boxing in the UFC. Hall of Famer and previous light heavyweight champion, Chuck Lidell was known

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

in wrestling helped him in earning a name as an expert inside takedown defense. Even the top

wrestlers of UFC experienced a troublesome time taking Lidell down and keeping the fighter down.
