What is EXTREME FIGHTING and MIXED MARTIAL ARTS? © ?

Extreme Fighting is mixed martial arts (commonly referred to as MMA). These terms are used interchangeably and represent a combat sport in which two competitors attempt to achieve dominance over one another by utilizing a wide variety of permitted martial arts techniques in full contact, including striking and grappling.

MMA has also been referred to as No Holds Barred (NHB) fighting, however this term is no longer considered an accurate description of the modern sport, with its formalized rules and banned techniques that have been developed for the fighters' safety.

Mixed martial arts was originally based around the concept of pitting different martial arts and fighting styles against each other in competition with minimal rules, in an attempt to determine which system would be more effective in a real, unregulated combat situation. Modern MMA competition is an evolution of such events, but many rules have been implemented to promote acceptance of the sport, while at the same time maintaining as much of the original no-holds-barred concept as possible. IXFA competitors or fighters are among the best-trained and conditioned athletes in the world. The safety of the athletes is of particular importance to IXFA ownership and management.
