Women And Mixed Martial Arts
Mixed martial arts is a unclear sport for many as they either do not understand the rules, or they have never tried to study the mechanics of this game. Mixed martial art has been around since 1800s, but, it was mainly Bruce Lee who made it popular by producing a fighting style that combined everything from karate to western boxing to fencing. MMA training poses whole new challenges to the body as it is different from the conventional run on the treadmill workouts. MMA sport needs sheer physical call for, and the player needs to develop high levels of muscular and cardiovascular endurance, agility, flexibility and staying power.
For men, mixed martial arts is probably one of the most lucrative professional sport internationally, nevertheless, for ladies, the trend is still catching up. Chokeholds, general grappling, leg trips, joint locks, punches, knee strikes, throws and takedowns are legal techniques used by men and women players. ReMix/L-1 tournament in Japan is one of the most famous occasions where women show their capabilities in free-style fighting. Currently, women MMA is covered by International Sport Fight Federation, and this federation also establishes the weight categories and rules.
Though, people feel that women in this sport are not as outstanding as men, there is all the same an increasing awareness of women in the game because of popular female personalities and fighters such as Gina Carano and Megumi Fujji. Currently, International Sport Battle Federation covers women’s MMA, and this federation establishes MMA weight categories and rules. Currently, only four ISCF MMA weight categories have women fighters as per ISCF rank: Laura D’Auguste under Bantamweight, Kelly Kobald under Featherweight, Jen Case under lightweight, and Erin Toughill under Welterweight. Women in these clubs are so well trained and strong that they not only fight with each other, but also compete with men.
Though women’s MMA is now gaining popularity, it still stays outside the mainstream, and results are not published in sports pages. In recent times, a sort of MMA called reality fighting started in American Grappler Association, and Laura D’Auguste got the women’s title. DWW also promotes a combat style fighting in bikini, and in this MMA style fighting, hair pulling is allowed. There are lots of clubs that promote female MMA matches, and a few of the girls in these clubs are so strong that they compete not only with each other but also with other men.
As MMS is a sport mainly dominated by men, women are normally intimidated when it comes to joining the course. Though these street fights would consult with MMA, but these are still brawls without any referee and rules. It is surprising how quickly the shape of the body changes while going through MMA training. After getting established, MMA has become about the most famous and officially recognized combative sports.
