MMA UNDERGROUND

MMA Stand-up fighting (sometimes referred to simply as "stand-up") is hand-to-hand combat that takes place while the combatants are in a standing position. The term is commonly used in martial arts and combat sports to designate the set of techniques employed from a standing position, as opposed to techniques employed in ground fighting. Stand-up fighting that takes place while the combatants are grappling each other is referred to as clinch fighting which is part of stand-up fighting where the combatants are grappling in a clinch, typically using clinch holds. Clinching the opponent can be used to eliminate the opponent’s effective usage of some kicks and punches.

The clinch can also be used as a medium to switch from stand-up fighting to submission ground fighting by using takedowns or throws. Techniques used in MMA stand-up fighting include various kicks, strikes, knees, elbows, destruction techniques, and blocking techniques, with different limbs of the body. Essential aspects of MMA Stand-up fighting include striking combinations, with the aim of striking to incapacitate or injure the opponent.

MMA UNDERGROUND stand-up fighting includes the following disciplines Boxing, Muay Thai, French Savate, Kickboxing, Kali (sectoring, trapping, grappling, and nerve hitting), Kyusho-jutsu, and Full Contact Karate.

No-Gi Jujutsu is divided into two disciplines, submission wrestling and ground striking. Submission wrestling(also called submission fighting, and technically referred to as submission grappling) is a general term describing the aspect of martial arts and combat sports that focus on clinch and ground fighting with the aim of obtaining a submission using submission holds. Submission wrestling is sometimes also considered a separate sport, with many grappling arts integrated into a single system, and can include techniques from a wide range of arts. Mixed martial arts fighters may use the term "submission wrestling" to refer to their grappling methods while avoiding association with any one art. Submission wrestling is also sometimes used to describe the tactic in mixed martial arts competition which largely revolves around using submission wrestling skills to defeat an opponent.

Ground striking: (Also known as a ground and pound) ground striking is an important aspect of ground fighting. Typically, a top position is better for various strikes than a bottom position, simply because the combatant in the top position can generate the distance and movement needed for effective strikes, while the bottom combatant is restricted by the ground and by the combatant on top. Another factor is gravity, which is in favor of the top combatant when he is striking downwards. The types of strikes that can be employed effectively depend on the particular grappling position of the combatants, the proximity can allow for techniques such as chokeholds, fish-hooking,  joint locks, pressure point techniques, or various strikes; common ones include elbows, knees, and punches.

Combat Conditioning is a very important component of MMA training. As a matter of fact, Combat Conditioning can make the difference between winning and losing a fight. When I talk about combat conditioning, I am referring to the physical and psychological development of martial artists, so they can achieve maximum performance in a combat situation. Keep in mind that Combat Conditioning is a slow and arduous process that will take a considerable amount of time. It will not happen overnight! However, if you are serious about achieving your combat conditioning goals then it can be accomplished.
