INTRODUCTION

Since Pankration, a combination of boxing and wrestling was introduced to the Olympic Games in 648 BC mixed martial arts has evolved throughout history.

Modern MMA events were popular throughout Europe and Japan in the 1800’s and early 1900’s with boxing Vs Jui jitsu contests. In the 1920’s, Vale Tudo (anything goes) tournament matches were hosted in Brazil expanding to Japan in the 1970’s.

In 1993 the Ultimate Fighting Championship was introduced to North America. The concept was based upon pitting different styles of martial arts against one another to see who was the best. There were very few rules and no weight classes.

Since then MMA has evolved into a multi-dimensional, well rounded form of combat that is not limited to professional fighting. It is safely practiced by a wide range of participants of all ages and gender and has proven to be an effective form of self defense.
