Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Girl Fighters
|
While mixed martial arts was initially practiced almost exclusively by competitive fighters, this is no longer the case. As the sport has become more mainstream and more widely taught, it has become accessible to wider range of practitioners of all ages. Proponents of this sort of training argue that it is safe for anyone, of any age, with varying levels of competitiveness.
Karate
Karate has proved to be effective in the sport as it is one of the core founders of kickboxing. Various styles of karate are practiced by some MMA fighters, notably Chuck Liddell, Lyoto Machida and Georges St-Pierre. Liddell is known to have an extensive striking background in Kenpō and Koei-Kan where as Lyoto Machida practices Shotokan Ryu(Machida Karate variant which focuses on original Shotokan) Karate and St-Pierre practices Kyokushin.
