Throughout world history people have enjoyed watching two men compete in hand to hand combat. Professional boxing made its debut here in America around the turn of the 20th century. Unlike boxing, mixed martial arts is a relatively new sport. Both sports are very technical and require their fighters to be in superb condition. Many fighters train all their life to make it big, but few ever get there. Although both sports are immensely popular, one stands alone as the dominant sport.

The holds in this chapter are interchangeable and it does not matter what side of the body I decide to apply the hold too. My goal is to remain “flexible” and as I transition to the back of the person I take what the person is giving me. One thing to keep in mind with these standing holds is if the person is similar in size to me or extremely combative, I am not necessarily trying to keep them in one place. If the person is able to move around some that is fine; I just move my feet with them and keep my body tight to theirs. When I make the person carry my body weight around it can be exhausting for them. I often make my opponent carry my weight around in Grappling or Mixed Martial Arts. In my experience most people do not train properly for this and they get tired much quicker than they anticipated from me constantly “clinching” with them.

Then several different classes, however the one class that caught my attention the most was the Brazilian jiu-jitsu class.

When I started Jiu Jitsu it changed how I felt about being more social. One sunny day in a hot summer me I have sandy blonde hair and blueish green eyes I prefer to read books and be in loud places, my sister Cheyenne a fifteen year old that has blonde hair and blue eyes she loves to read books and pink items, and my nephew Nate is a hyper thrill seeking seven year old were all sitting on the couch trying to find something to watch. Going through the boring choices of movies we couldn’t choose anything then I flicked of the tv, and turned to Chey and Nate let’s go do something this is too boring I said with a little-bit of enthusiasm. Then we went on a hunt to see some fun things we could do we found Jiu Jitsu. Chey and I talked to Mom about our special activity, and she said she would think about is. Later that night I fell asleep hoping she would say yes.

Mixed martial arts go all the way back to the first Olympic games of 776 b.c. (“What is Pankration”). This sport combined boxing and wrestling and was used by the Spartans and Thracians (“What is Pankration”).

This is not the only instance of the first mixed martial arts events, but there was Vale Turo in Brazil and most recently the Ultimate

The connections of the mind, body and soul have and always will have the utmost importance in sports. Time over time, it is proven that champions use all three in a combination to defeat their enemy. All champions around the world have some of the same characteristics in common; discipline, respect and self-control. These three characteristics are the very core of martial arts. Through the training and teachings of martial arts, individuals are able to key into their mind, body and soul to honor and protect themselves from opponents, either, on the field of war and/or play. Different types of martial arts focus on the use of body parts with or without any additional weapons. Muay Thai is an example of a martial art that uses just the body as a weapon. It trains the mind to depend on just the body by connecting with the soul through rituals that have been followed since the creation of Muay Thai.
