Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting
techniques from a mixture of martial arts traditions.  The rules allow the use of striking
and grappling techniques, both while standing and on the ground.

Modern mixed martial arts competition emerged in popular culture in 1993 with the
founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Initially based on finding the most
effective martial arts for real unarmed combat situations. The history of modern MMA
competition can be traced to mixed style contests throughout Europe, Japan, and the
Pacific Rim during the early 1900s. The Gracie family's Vale Tudo Martial Arts
Tournaments in Brazil starting in the 1920s; and early mixed martial arts matches
hosted by Antonio Inoki in Japan in the 1970s. The sport gained international
exposure and widespread publicity in the United States in 1993, when Brazilian Jiu-
Jitsu fighter Royce Gracie handily won the first Ultimate Fighting Championship
tournament, submitting three challengers in just five minutes, sparking a revolution in
the martial arts. Meanwhile in Japan the continued interest in the sport resulted in the
creation of the PRIDE Fighting Championships in 1997.
