Process Analysis: Mixed Martial Arts

Decent Essays
MMA is away people in today’s society protect and defend themselves, or in another case, protecting other people in society who have no proper way of defense.

There are many things you must learn to truly understand and to know what it means to be a MMA, or as it originally means, Mixed Martial Arts, or if it was only one person learning the technique, then you would say Mixed Martial Artist. There are also many steps that you must learn to master it, but if you are a very quick learner you won't have to worry. There are at least fifteen levels of the belts you have to go through. The minimum time to get to your black belt is at least a year or two, or in other cases, it can take at least eleven months

Once you have mastered everything you need to know such as basic, then you start learning your next belt courses. You start leaning new stance kicks. For example, the “back leg round house”. You start the move in your side fighting stance. But here is always something to remember, you always stay in your left fighting stance with your left arm out when you are competing or are just sparing. The back leg round house is a technique used to kick higher or kick to the head when you are fighting your opponent or in a real fight on the streets. It helps give you the extra leg length in defense. After you have mastered the kick, you learn some of the basic arm block moves. For example, the arm bar. The arm bar is a restraint technique used when fighting to have the other person give up or in another case, to leave you alone.
I can’t name everything you need to learn in a belt or two, but once you have mastered every belt up to black, there are at least 3 degrees in a black belt. Once you have learned all 3degree belts, you can began teaching. If you want to start your own teaching academy or school for MMA, the college career choice you take gets you a Bachelors and masters degree. You must spend at least four years in college.

    To me the black belt oath means to be a role model. Younger people and lower belts might want to look up to you. Therefor you need to train hard, be nice and encouraging, and always do your best. If you do not train hard or do your best, you will never get better. Think of it as if you took a line and on the right side it said “the best” and on the left side it said the worst.…

    Throughout several years, blacks have grown up knowing that it will be hard for them to find jobs and to have a good future. Life in the streets is hard for them as many of them have to fight to survive while also not getting the opportunities that people of other races do.

In fact, sports have become a huge part of American as well as global culture. One of the most commonly watched sports is boxing which to some people may seem dangerous but to others, it is nothing other than showing a form of strength as well as a form of entertainment. Many may argue about how dangerous of a sport boxing may be because of the statistics of the injuries and overuse of illegal drugs.

    I would say that achieving the level of black belt is liberating in a way, because not only is it a regression to the basics, it removes the material aspect of the game. Learning karate transcends from a race to the next colour, to an intimate experience of the self. This is something I experienced when I got my black belt three years ago. I feel like at that point, learning Kata was not a step towards getting my next belt; it was learning kata for the sake of learning it. Rather than extrinsically enjoying learning, which involves enjoying the end goal of an action, it became intrinsic enjoyment, which is the enjoyment of the action…

I wasn’t until after getting a tour of a campus and seeing their dental hygiene program that I knew PT wasn’t what I wanted to do anymore.

    A little over a decade ago, boxing seemed to be on the decline, with calls from all over for it to be banned. But the sport has since had a Renaissance due to modern development in the UK and USA in the late 20th century. Boxing is a tough and physical sport, that’s for sure, which could be why it’s used to reference life so often. Life, much like boxing, knocks you down, but as a fighter, you have to get back up and continue the fight until the match is over. When a boxer enters the ring, for example, they’re not just fighting to gain the respect of viewers and opponents.…
