For many action films, the box office provides action scenes rich in violence and gore. But sometimes they look too fantastic.
Therefore, it is much more interesting to watch how combat clashes look in reality. Especially if these are the most brutal types of martial arts, whose list was made by M PORT.
1. Irish fist fight
It is also called gypsy fight... Something like spontaneous drunken fight in a substandard pub. The rules are so primitive that they are often forgotten. Battles can be fought anywhere.

2. Fights on sticks
This sport was born back in 1995. On an impromptu platform, limited by a crowd of an exalted audience, fighters in metal protective masks come out. Then the real mess begins, and the fight is just beginning with sticks. Further, as the fight develops, legs, fists, foreheads and other parts of the body are used.
3. Bear fights
Actually, this semi-sports show with the participation of an animal and a man arose in Russia in the 16th century. But due to the scarcity of bears in modern Europe, it was replaced by more “civilized” bullfights. True, bullfighting is already a thing of the past. But the famous run of the bulls in the Spanish Pamplona, \u200b\u200bperhaps, will tickle the nerves of thrill-seekers for a long time.
4. Combat armwrestling
The emergence of a combination of armwrestling, freestyle wrestling, boxing, kickboxing and just fights without rules was predetermined. To the classic and boring armwrestling, the creatives added a cool "pepper". As a result, we have a gambling and dynamic sport. In which the main thing is still to “put” the opponent's hand first.
5. Combaton
Two teams converge on the court in hand-to-hand combat for possession of a small stick. With this projectile, they must hit the "gate" - the same stick hanging on the opponent's side.

For each defeat of the target and various types of strikes against the players of the opposing team, the corresponding points are awarded.
6. Fighting by mixed rules (UFC)
They also have an unofficial name - "human cockfighting". Anything is allowed here - you can grab an opponent by the hair, kick in the balls, move your foot in the jaw. You can even come up with new techniques as you fight. The main thing is to make the enemy surrender.
7. Fights with stun guns
The same kickboxing, but with sensitive nuances. These are small police stun guns attached to the gloves of the fighters. Naturally, such a fight literally becomes even more electrifying - both for the audience and especially for the athletes.

The difference between martial arts and martial arts
All sports martial arts differ from real martial arts in that they are always aimed at fighting one person (therefore they are called martial arts), who is always honest and a good athlete, and always acts within the framework of certain predefined clearly agreed rules.
Also, in combat sports, there is most often a division by weight categories, weapons are not used there, dastardly techniques and the effect of surprise, as well as techniques that can seriously injure a person.
But naturally in real battle on the street, such excellent combat conditions are rare. Three of us can attack here, they can put a knife to the throat, or even strike from behind without warning in advance, so let's try to discuss more effective and applied types martial arts.
Aikido
This self-defense system was created by the master Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969) based on one of the directions of jiu-jitsu. Certain techniques of aikido were borrowed from the so-called Chinese wushu. soft styles, where the vector of application of force to the enemy coincides with the direction of movement of the enemy himself. The fundamental difference between aikido and other types of martial arts is the lack of offensive techniques. The main sequence of the fighter's actions boils down to grabbing the opponent's hand or wrist, throwing him to the ground and already here, with the help of a painful hold, finally neutralize. Movements in aikido are usually performed along a circular path.
There are no competitions or championships in aikido. Nevertheless, it is very popular as the art of self-defense and quickly incapacitating the enemy. Like karate and judo, aikido is widespread outside of Japan, including in Russia.
American kickboxing
Another type of boxing is "American kickboxing" according to the legend, its name and even the development of the fighting style is prescribed to the famous actor and naturally multiple champion in kickboxing Chuck Noris. Kickboxing can be translated almost literally as "Kicking and punching."
Because kickboxing has become a mixture of martial arts wushu, English boxing, muay thai, karate and taekwondo. Ideally, fights should take place at full strength and at all levels, that is, kicks and punches are allowed at full strength throughout the body. This allows kickboxers to become quite dangerous opponents both in the ring and outside it, but nevertheless, this is a sports system and it was not originally designed for street fighting.
English boxing and French boxing
Although that modern English boxing, which we know, since about 1882, was recognized in its former form as hazardous to health and began to be conducted according to the rules known today, which finally reduced its combat effectiveness. But after this time, a bunch of similar combat "boxing" systems from different countries of the world have become known.
Of the most famous types of boxing, the French boxing "Savat" was once generally one of the best street fighting systems in Europe.
Savat is European combat combat, also known as "French boxing", is characterized by effective technique punches, dynamic kick technique, mobility and subtle strategy. Savat has long history: this kind of martial art originated as a synthesis of the French school of street hand-to-hand fighting and English boxing; in 1924 he was included in the Olympic Games in Paris as a demonstration sport.
Greco-Roman wrestling
Classic wrestling is a European type of single combat in which two participants come together in a fight. The main task of each athlete is to put his opponent on his shoulder blades using a number of different elements and techniques. The main difference greco-Roman wrestling from other similar martial arts - it is a ban on the implementation of any techniques with feet (running boards, holds, sweeps, etc.). Also, you cannot do leg grabs.
Judo
Judo translated from Japanese means "soft way". This modern sports martial arts comes from the Land of the Rising Sun. The main judo is throws, painful holds, restraint and strangulation. Judo is based on the principle of unity of mind and body and differs from other martial arts in less application physical strength when performing various technical actions.
Professor Jigoro Kano founded judo in 1882, in 1964 judo entered the program of the Summer Olympic Games. Judo is a codified sport in which the mind controls body movements; it has the most pronounced educational character in the Olympic program. In addition to competitions, judo includes the study of technique, kata, self-defense, physical fitness and improving the spirit. Judo as a sports discipline is a modern and progressive form of physical activity. The International Judo Federation (IJF) includes 200 affiliated national federations on five continents. More than 20 million people practice judo, a sport that combines parenting and physical activity. IJF organizes over 35 events annually.
Jujutsu
Jiu-jitsu is a generic term used for a combat system that is almost impossible to describe clearly. This is hand-to-hand combat, in most cases, without the use of weapons, and only in some cases with weapons. Jiu-jitsu techniques include kicking, punching, throwing, holding, blocking, choking and tying, as well as using certain types of weapons. Jiu-jitsu relies not on brute strength, but on dexterity and agility. Application of minimal effort to achieve maximum effect. This principle allows anyone, regardless of their physical form or physique, control and use your energy most efficiently.
Capoeira
(Capoeira) - an Afro-Brazilian national martial art, a synthesis of dance, acrobatics and games, all accompanied by national Brazilian music. According to the generally accepted version, capoeira originated in South America in the 17th and 18th centuries.
But nevertheless, experts still argue about the homeland and the time of the emergence of such a unique art. No one knows exactly where it came from, who was the founder of the ancient skill and, like capoeira, has gained rapid popularity from century to century.
There are several main hypotheses for its origin:
- The African zebra dance, which was common among local tribes, became the prototype of the militant movements.
- Capoeira is a fusion of ancient cultures - Latin American and African dances.
- A dance of slave slaves that gradually developed into a martial art. It is associated with the landing of Europeans on the continent and the birth of the slave trade.
Karate
Karate ("empty hand path") is a Japanese martial art that offers different ways of fighting with your hands and several techniques with the use of weapons, including edged weapons. In this single combat, grabs and throws are not used. The main principle is speed and speed, and the main task is to maintain the main stance for a long time. Therefore, first of all, balance plays a role in karate.
Kendo
During sporting bouts, fencers hold resilient bamboo swords, and special training armor covers their head, chest and arms. For purely executed strikes on certain parts of the opponent's body, the participants in the fight are awarded points.
Currently, kendo is not only a popular sport, but is also an integral part of physical education program Japanese schools.
Kobudo
The term "kobudo" in translation from Japanese means - "ancient military way". The original name is "kobujutsu" - "ancient martial arts (skills)". Under this term, the arts of ownership are represented today different kinds eastern types of edged weapons.

- Nihon-kobudo is a direction that combines systems common on the main islands of Japan and uses in its arsenal cold weapons of samurai origin and weapons from the ninjutsu arsenal.
- Kobudo (other names Ryukyu-kobudo and Okinawa-kobudo) is a direction that unites systems originating from the islands of the Ryukyu archipelago (modern Okinawa prefecture, Japan), using the tools (objects) of the peasant and fishing use of the inhabitants of these islands in the arsenal.
Sambo
Sambo belongs to the unique types of martial arts that have spread all over the world. He became the only species sports, where international communication is conducted in Russian. There are two types of sambo, the first of which is combat, used to protect and disable the enemy. The second kind of this struggle is sports sambo, contributes to the development personal characteristics, hardens character and body, allows you to develop self-control and discipline.
Sumo
Sumo rules are very simple: to win, it is enough either to force the opponent to lose his balance and touch the ring with any part of his body except the feet, or simply push him out of the ring. Usually the outcome of a fight is decided in a few seconds. The accompanying ceremonies can take much longer. The wrestlers are dressed only in a special loincloth.
In ancient times, sumo champions were revered as saints; according to Japanese beliefs, fighters shaking the earth not only make it more fertile, but also scare away evil spirits; Sumo wrestlers were sometimes hired to "drive disease" out of wealthy homes and even entire cities.
Therefore, such attention is paid to the weight of the wrestler (there are no weight categories in sumo). Since ancient times, a variety of diets and exercises have been preserved that allow you to most effectively gain maximum weight. The age of professional wrestlers ranges between 18 and 35 years old. Most of the sumo champions become popular idols.
Thailand boxing
Muay Thai was developed as a military and army martial art, the fighters of which, with and without weapons, had to enter the personal guard of the king and actually confront entire armies of the outnumbered enemy on the battlefield.
But today, like the previous ones sports types martial arts, Muay Thai has undergone quite a lot of changes in the direction of sports, modern rules have also changed very much, which have become much more loyal and made this super-tough and even deadly martial art an order of magnitude less effective.
Although in more closed schools and even sects, even outside Thailand, which also teach Thai boxing, there are still people teaching more effective forms of it.
Taekwondo (taekwondo, taekwondo)
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art. Its characteristic feature is that the legs are used more actively in the fight than the arms. In taekwondo, you can deliver both straight kicks and kicks with a turn with equal speed and force. The martial art of taekwondo is over 2000 years old. Since 1955, this single combat has been considered a sport.
Wushu
Literally translated as martial art. This is the general name for traditional Chinese martial arts, more often called kungfu or Chinese boxing in the west. There are many different directions, wushu, which are conventionally divided into external (waijia) and internal (neijia). Outside, or hard, styles require the fighter to be in good shape and to spend a lot of physical energy during training. Indoor or soft styles require special focus and flexibility.
As a rule, Ch'an Buddhism serves as the philosophical basis of the outer styles, and Taoism for the inner ones. The so-called monastic styles are traditionally external and originate from Buddhist monasteries, one of which is the famous Shaolin Monastery (founded around 500 BC), where the Shaolin Quan style was formed, which influenced the development of many styles of Japanese karate.
Which martial art to choose?
The choice of activities depends, first of all, on your preferences and physical features... The talitsa will help determine your body type and the appropriate type of fight for this correspondence. Keep in mind, however, that only general guidelines are provided. Learning martial arts is a long process, during which your body will get used to, adapt to new conditions and gain experience in the martial arts that you choose.
Ectomorph
Tai Chi Chuan (Tai Chi Chuan)
This graceful, non-offensive Chinese martial arts emphasizes stability, balance, balance and is ideal for skinny people. Complex of controlled smooth movements will train all your muscles to work together and smoothly. Do not confuse tai chi chuan and tai chi that are offered in fitness clubs. Real schools are more challenging and allow their students to master many different types weapons, including a double-edged sword.
This Chinese style is also called kung fu. There are over 300 varieties of wushu. Of these, Wing Chun (yunchun, "eternal spring") is suitable for people with a lack of weight and size. This style allows a small, lighter person to defeat a larger opponent by affecting sensitive areas of the body that are not protected by muscles (eyes, throat, groin, knees and specific nerve points). No particular flexibility is required as most of the shots are delivered low ( knee caps or shin).
Taekwondo (taekwondo, taekwondo)
For this Korean martial arts, it is desirable to be lean, light and loose, as it is best known for its vast variety of high impact kicks. This scrum style relies more on feet than fists. Strikes to the head are common, so you should at least be able to raise your leg to the height of your opponent's face. In class, you need to be prepared for the fact that you will receive a couple of painful blows, but in general, contacts are not very violent. In addition, taekwondo learners train not only in battles with each other, as it is a type of martial arts where breaking boards and bricks with hands and feet is part of the training regimen.
Mesomorph
Aikido
Aikido does not focus on exhausting punches and kicks. The main focus is on using the opponent's own energy against himself, in order to incapacitate him (using locks on the wrist or grab his hands) or knock him back. This style is easier for people with an athletic build, as most offensive movements are more effective when the muscles are well developed. Also, unlike most martial arts, which requires you to complete 10 ranks before getting a black belt, this Japanese martial arts only has 6 levels.
Kendo
A Japanese martial art that allows you to wield a bamboo sword, dress like a samurai, and repeatedly stab your opponent in the neck and head. It sounds threatening, but in this combat, the body is protected by armor similar to knightly, which minimizes damage. Speed, strong shoulders and arms are essential attributes of sword fighters, so a lean, muscular build would be ideal.
Muay Thai (Thai boxing)
Thai martial art with full contact with the opponent. Instead of just using fists and legs, the opponent is hit with a series of blows to the elbows and knees. Most suitable for people of athletic build with developed muscles around the joints. Those wishing to master this type of martial arts should be prepared for early retirement, since serious practitioners have a rather short career (4-5 years maximum).
Endomorph
Judo
A Japanese martial art that aims to upset an opponent's balance and throw them onto the carpet. Stocky people have an advantage in him when performing defensive maneuvers, as the extra weight helps to stand more stable in the ring. The onset of breathlessness will not be a problem in the initial stages of training, which are devoted to improving the grips, maneuvers, and how to fall correctly. To reach a more advanced level, you will need to develop endurance.
Karate
Based on a combination of cultures (roots both in Japan and Okinawa), karate is also a mixture of different fighting methods. Students learn how to fight with hands, several techniques with weapons, including nunchucks. Although grabs and throws are not used in this combat, stocky people gain the advantage of a more solid and stable position, which gives more power to their punches and blocks. Most varieties of karate are worth choosing, but if you are afraid of pain then be careful with styles that include kenpo, kempo, American freestyle, full contact in the name.
Shorinji-kempo
This boxing style of karate is more suitable for large people for several reasons. Firstly, he uses a series of punches like in boxing, where stability in the ring due to a powerful physique is more important than strong fists. A strong physique will also be useful for mastering the techniques of dodging the opponent's punches. Punching will require flexibility, but punching is usually no higher than the waist.
Jiu-jitsu (jujutsu)
This Japanese technique combines many dangerous offensive and defensive techniques. This type of single combat is merciless, since it was originally developed to train an unarmed person to neutralize an armed soldier. It will be easier to master Jiu-Jitsu for those who are accustomed to loads, have endurance and flexibility.
So, welcome! The first of its kind "MMA Lover's Encyclopedia". All terms are taken by me from everyday life. I explain them to you as I do it for myself. Therefore (I hope) they will be clear to you too.
THE BASES
MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) - Mixed Martial Arts. A sport that became widespread in the United States in the 90s of the last (that is, the 20th) century. MMA is fundamentally different from other types of martial arts in that fighters have the right to use a huge arsenal different techniques and techniques previously inaccessible within the framework of any one style. The first tournaments were attended by wrestlers, boxers, kickboxers, masters of jiu-jitsu, karate and sumo.
Perhaps I got a little excited about the latter. Although in Japan what has never happened ! Over time, MMA has evolved into fights, the participants of which use a variety of techniques in order to win - they wrestle, kick each other with their hands and feet, perform painful and choke holds. Modern MMA is boxing, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, karate and muay thai - in one sport.
Cell - an MMA symbol and a place of fights specific only for this sport. Despite the horror that the cage of the uninitiated inhabitants leads to, it is not at all intended to close in it the fighters who "fight to the death." The thing is that the cage is more convenient than the ring. The fighter cannot fall out of the cage and get injured, the fight does not need to be stopped in order to turn the fighters fighting on the ground head to the center.
In addition, the cage provides a lot of advantages and additional techniques - a fighter can lean his back on the cage to get up from the ground, and you can also push off from it and hold the famous showtime kick! Cells come in different shapes - round and with corners. The signature square with 8 corners is called the Octagon.
Fights without rules (boy. "Bezruvil, cho") is the erroneous name of MMA, which is used by the yellow media and "real boys" from the Russian hinterland. It has nothing to do with mixed martial arts, in which there are rules. The unified rules of MMA prohibit a number of actions, among them - head strikes, grabs for the face, poking in the eyes, punches in the groin, biting the opponent with teeth, strikes with a sharp point of the elbow (so-called strikes 12-6), kicks on an opponent who is three points on the floor of the cage, including "soccer-kick" - a soccer kick to the head of a defeated opponent.
Unfortunately, the Russian media do not yet bother themselves with such nonsense as the correct names for something there. Therefore, almost every fighter appearing in the news reports of our media is at least a “World Ultimate Fighting Champion”.
Basic wrestler / drummer - although the times when representatives of the same style met in a cage are long over, in MMA it is still great importance has an athlete's "base". Namely - what kind of sport he came to mixed martial arts from.
Freestyle wrestlers have the greatest success in MMA, whose representatives are 7 out of 10 champions of the MMA No. 1 organization. Russian MMA fighters usually come to this sport from combat sambo... Many of our fighters, one way or another, were champions in this martial arts before they came to MMA.
PERSONS
Fedor(Fedor Emelianenko) - to put it simply, our everything! Chief (and still the only one) russian fighter MMA, which has achieved the best results in mixed martial arts... Fedor remained invincible for almost 10 years. Actually, it is thanks to the “phenomenon of Fedor Emelianenko” that mixed martial arts in our country received the strongest impetus for their development. Fedor may not be understood, but it is impossible not to love him. Currently, Fedor is the President of the MMA Union of Russia and works as an advisor to the Minister of Sports.
(Dana White, Schools. Dana White) - President of the main MMA organization on this planet. A man with tons of hate. An effective manager. Evil troll. Suffering from a God complex. The character is never Nordic, not even close to sustained. Considers himself the chief chief of all chief executives. If Fedor was considered by many to be the angel of MMA, then White, without a doubt, is the "devil" of this sport.
Mirko Cro Cop (Mirko "Cro Kop" Filippovic) is a Croatian MMA fighter who has a spectacular kickboxing style. Before joining MMA, Mirko worked as a policeman, hence his nickname - Croatian Cop, or for short - Cro Cop. Despite the fact that Mirko has never been an MMA champion, he remains one of the main symbols of this sport.
Cro Cop's proverb about his famous left kick to the head (hi-kick) is widely known: “ Right leg - a hospital, the left one - a cemetery. " Currently, Cro Cop continues to compete in various kickboxing and MMA tournaments, although his time has certainly passed.
Joe Rogan (Joe Rogan) - American comedian and TV presenter, commentator and author of his own radio show. Rogan is loved by aspiring MMA fans and hated by older ones. Because, unlike newcomers, they remember how Rogan forced George St. Pierre to talk live about his phobia, and six months later he used this confession to throw mud at the same St. Pierre, on the air of one of his next programs ...
Adept of the "Eat those you killed yourself" cult, Joe Rogan uses free time in order to hunt defenseless animals, and then - proudly pose in front of them. And Rogan prefers to kill with a bow and arrow. That is, you understand that the animal that Rogan is hunting does not die immediately, but dies in torment until it is pierced by 5 or 6 (or even more) arrows shot by Rogan.
A two-faced and hypocritical person. Successful opportunist. A born showman. However, if you are a beginner, then Rogan will most likely love. Because he's charismatic. We love such characters, no matter what.
Alexander Shlemenko - former champion the second most important active MMA organization in the world. Average weight. Former adherent of veganism. Adherent of healthy lifestyle. Omich. "Real boy". Russian hope. Shlemenko doesn't say much, but when he does, he sounds very convincing. Trains himself. An excellent drummer and a slightly less excellent fighter.
Known for his stubbornness and adherence to principles. From this year, finally, he is going to devote more time to practicing wrestling skills. On Valentine's Day, Shlemenko will beat the dangerous knocker Melvin Manhoef. In any case, we very much hope that everything will be exactly like this, and not vice versa.
John jones (Jon "Bones" Jones, full name Jonathan Jones) is a champion and outstanding light heavyweight MMA fighter. Contradictory personality. The object of hate and love of millions of MMA fans. Known for his addiction to elbows, poking in the eyes and cocaine. However, he can hardly be blamed for the latter.
He spent many defenses of his title, is considered the greatest fighter on the planet. Despite the outstanding results, it has become a kind of MMA meme, after a recent story with a failed doping test and addiction to drugs. Nevertheless, Jones is without a doubt one of the most ambitious people in the sport.
(or simply Khabib) is the main hope of the Russian MMA from Dagestan. An undefeated lightweight who has not been able to win a fight for the champion title for a year. Some even suspect this is a conspiracy of the Illuminati. Basic wrestler, drives a tinted Priora fret.
Khabib's relations with PR are still not very smooth. Good, wearable interviews, interspersed with ridiculous tweets and "purely boy" Instagram photos. Nevertheless, it is Khabib Nurmagomedov who now has the most chances to become the first russian champion in the UFC.
ORGANIZATIONS
UFC(Utimate Fighting Championship, sounds like "yu ef si") - the name is usually not translated, but if you really want, then - the Absolute Fighting Championship. The main and most powerful organization of MMA today. Unselected is controlled by Dana White (see above), who turns the fighters around as he wants. Nevertheless, this is where 99% dream to get russian fighters MMA, with the exception of Sergei Kharitonov. He is not interested in such trifles.
Bellator (Bellator) is the world's # 2 MMA organization. It was there that the champion Alexander Shlemenko was before losing the title to Brandon Halsey last year. It is still not known for certain which syllable should be stressed in the word "Bellator". So do whatever you want. In an effort to compete with the UFC, Bellator has signed YouTube thunderstorm Kimbo Slice to take over the MMA market in 2015. [Offscreen laughter]
M-1 (M-1 Global, schools. "Emodin") - the main Russian organization of MMA, in which Fedor once performed. Teenagers often confuse the sport - MMA and the name of the M-1 organization. Despite the sarcasm of many fans, implicated in latent anti-Semitism towards the President of the organization Vadim Finkelstein, M-1 remains the flagship of Russian MMA. Recently, several very promising champions have appeared in the organization - Marcin Tybura, Stefan Pütz, and girls with signs (octagon girls) are just a sight for sore eyes.
THE BATTLE
Round - one round in a fight according to the rules of MMA lasts 5 minutes. This is not dull boxing with its three minutes, and not kickboxing. But if you think that 5 minutes is too much, then know that the first MMA fights often lasted half an hour, or even without any time limits. Champion fights and the main fights of the evening in the UFC last not three, but as many as five rounds of five minutes.
Weighing (Weigh-in, schools. "Hanger") - the procedure for determining the weight of fighters, which takes place 1 day before the fight. This is usually done so that fighters can meet the limits of their chosen weight category... Used to legitimately deceive a system called weight-cutting. For example, Khabib Nurmagomedov, who competes in the weight category up to 70kg, drops the weight from 85kg. Do you still don't know how to lose weight?
By the time of weigh-in, fighters usually come up in an exhausted and dehydrated state, and immediately after the procedure, they begin to eat off and, most importantly, drink. Of course, water, glucose, rehydron and protein shakes. No alcohol. The trimming procedure allows the big fighter to meet the lighter weight limits and thus gain an advantage over his rivals in combat. For a long time, the same Joe Rogan, who kills bears with arrows, has been against the cut.
Duel of views (Staredown, Schools. "Sturdown") - the moment when two fighters look into each other's eyes and are silent. Used to warm up the situation before a fight. Sometimes incidents happen, but usually the fighters look at each other so often that the duel no longer seems like a tense moment to them.
Transfer to the parterre (Takedown, Takedown) - one of the MMA techniques that allows you to transfer the fight from the stand (where fighters usually exchange blows) - to the ground (on the flooring of the cage) in order to continue the fight in the fight or exchange blows with the opponent below. There are 9000+ grounding techniques, but one of the most famous is the takedown with both legs. The most beautiful takedowns look very impressive. No less impressive than knockouts.
Knockout (Knock out, KO, KTFO) - a consequence of a blow, which leads to the fact that the opponent is partially or completely unconscious. There is a preliminary version of a knockout called "knockdown" - this is when the opponent fell, but not knocked out. Unlike boxing, in MMA, no one stops a fight when an opponent is knocked down. Only when knocked out. What's the point of stopping, counting down to 10 and wasting time? Perhaps, knockouts in MMA are one of the most spectacular phenomena that can only be in this sport.
Despite the outward brutality, in general, the death rate in mixed martial arts is several hundred times lower than in boxing. Yes, there are many injuries, but thanks to the various MMA techniques, the target for strikes here is not exclusively the opponent's head. In MMA, you can do a hold, kick to the body, throw. In boxing, the main focus is on hitting the head. That is why for MMA, unlike boxing. until a bloody trail of crippled and paralyzed fighters lasts.
Pain / choke hold and victory with it(Submission, surrender of the opponent, schools. "Sambmission") - the same as a knockout, only when they do not hit, but hurt or strangle.
