this popular fighting sport is commonly known is a combination of
different martial arts combat styles including kickboxing, jiujitsu,

So
instead of
training in just one discipline like wrestling or boxing, MMA fighters
must train in a variety of techniques from different martial arts which
make them better rounded fighters. Although it may seem like
a
novel or revolutionary concept, this idea of using the best of
different martial arts
styles is not new.

In
fact, the martial
arts legend and action movie star Bruce Lee, is considered by many in
the martial arts world to be the father of mixed martial
arts. He
was the first to publicly advocate training in a variety of martial
arts styles including western boxing and wrestling.
Bruce Lee
moved away from being a traditional martial artist utilizing classical
forms, stances and techniques. He created his own style of
martial arts called Jeet June Do
which
is pretty well his style of mixed martial arts. He even
compiled
his ideas of mixed martial arts in his book called Tao of Jeet Kune Do.

This caused some
controversy among some of the traditionalists in martial arts back in
his time, especially before he became famous through his
movies.
But as time went on, even after his death, his concepts became more
accepted by modern martial artists around the world. He has
influenced countless numbers of martial artists to train with a variety
of martial arts techniques.
History
now suggests that Bruce Lee
was way ahead of his time with his early ideas of mixed martial
arts. If he can only see what he has started now with the
explosion of MMA as a popular sport. He would be
certainly
be proud. The mixed
martial arts
MMA world definitely owes a lot to Bruce Lee for having the ingenuity
and courage to go against the traditionalists to develop the mixed
martial arts concept so many years ago.
