    Have you ever turned on the TV and watched UFC or some other cage fight? Most of you are thinking that it is nothing more than a bunch of brutes fighting for money. The fact is there is some skill involved in it. This is known as Mixed Martial Arts or MMA for short. According to Andre Herbert, “MMA is using the most effective techniques of various martial arts so that they complement each other perfectly.” Some of these styles use striking (kicking and punching) and grappling (grabbing, lifting) techniques. The styles used in MMA are pretty diverse. There is Muay Thai, which is a form of martial arts that originated in Thailand, which uses hands, elbows, knees, shins and feet for striking purposes. They also have Boxing, which is used for the punching combinations and footwork. Wrestling and Brazilian Ju-Jitsu are used for grappling techniques that includes takedowns, submissions, chokeholds and anything that makes you want to yell out “Uncle!” or “Mercy!”, for those of you who played those kind of games as a kid. There is also a little bit of Kung-Fu, Karate Judo and etc. influences on the styles. In this ethnography, I will discuss how MMA is more than just a combination of different fighting systems; it is also a discourse community, in other words according to John Swales, it is a made up of individuals who share “a broadly agreed upon set of common public goals”.…

    As similar as they may seem, boxing and MMA are two very different sports. I know what you’re thinking, “The object of the sport is to punch the other guy in the face, how different can they be?” The truth is, both sports involve punching the other guy in the face, the difference is the rules and equipment used to do so. I know it’s hard to imagine someone like Oscar De La Hoya and a man like Brock Lesnar having anything in common, but they do, and I am going to tell you how. I know it’s also hard to picture Boxing and MMA having any differences, but I will show you.…

    That being said, every sport and every athlete undergoes intensive training before being thrown into a competitive setting; whether it be a hockey rink, soccer field or a boxing ring. Amateur and professional boxers must have both physical and mental endurance to be able to compete. They must endure a maximum of twelve rounds, three minutes each; always being on the defensive while at the same time playing an offensive game. If they let their guard down for even a second they won't just lose the match, they could get injured. These athletes are under a lot of stress, pressure and maybe even fear. However, nobody can be forced to do something they do not wish to do.…

    This was very different from karate, not only did this style require more discipline; it taught me new ways to move. As I grew in this particular style my trainer told me I was very talented. Knowing my instructor had faith in me, I told him I wanted to fight professionally. He told me I could not do that until I was eighteen. The thought of me losing a fight back then gave me the motivation to keep going. When I turned eighteen my skills and maturity level had increased beyond normal limitations. I got my first professional fight and I am very nervous. A lot of doubt is going through my head what if I lose, what if I get killed, and what if I embarrass myself. When I was standing in the middle of the octagon, waiting for the referee to announce the fight, all the memories came back, to daycare. That is when I told myself I will not lose ever again. So the fight was going to have three five minute rounds. During the first round we approached each other and started fighting. I threw a few punches and he threw a few punches. After two minutes in the round I faked him out and threw a right kick, kicking him in the head. My first win was by a knockout.…

    A number of doctors are behind the banning of the sport because of the serious nature of the injuries that can be sustained during a match. The most common injuries consist of cuts and bruises, which consequently, lead to stitches and dental work being required. However, injuries sustained from the sport can be much worse; body blows that can lead to internal bleeding and broken ribs. Furthermore, the most serious risk comes from the possibility of either catastrophic or gradual brain damage. Brain damage comes from an injury caused by a single blow or several blows to the head. Gerald McClellan is a living example of the serious effects boxing can have. McClellan went up in weight to challenge world Super-Middleweight champion Nigel Benn in London on February 25, 1995. McClellan slumped to one knee in round ten. He was counted out and collapsed in his corner. Later it was discovered he had suffered extensive brain damage. He lost his eyesight, the ability to walk unassisted and became 80 percent deaf. In this match there were no doctors on site and he had to wait for a cubicle at the hospital. Despite this, those in favour of the sport would argue that now there are always doctors at ring side, the referee can stop the match at any time, the ropes have…

The first thing that was changed is a uniform weight class system was implemented similar to boxing but with less…

    You ready blue corner? You ready red corner? Let’s fight! Ms. Ronda Rousey has heard this multiple times in her career in the UFC. What some people don’t understand is how an individual can go into a cage and risk the chance of serious injury. It could be from a knockout or a submission. It takes a strong and some think insane person to go into a environment like that in front of thousands of people to earn a belt.…
