Mixed Martial Arts  New Techniques That Give You an Edge MMA today primarily consists of techniques from boxing, Thai boxing, Greco Roman wrestling, judo, western wrestling, and Brazilian jiu jitsu. The reason is that these styles are sports, with techniques that fit the rules of MMA, and excellent training methods that help produce great fighters. Techniques from styles such as wing chun, pekiti tirsia, and silat are rarely seen in mixed martial arts for two reasons. First, many of the techniques are considered illegal in sport competition. And second, the training methods in these styles are often severely lacking when it comes to producing even average fighters. This situation creates an opportunity for MMA fighters willing to explore new techniques and incorporate them into their current training methods, along with working new training methods to develop these new skill sets. There are many great techniques, training methods, and concepts in these lesser known styles that can give a mixed martial artist an advantage over competitors who have less knowledge and ability. |
