Women in Mixed Martial Arts: Fighting for Equality Part II
2009-09-13 19:08:00 Ultimate Grappling has recently addressed the state of women in mixed martial arts.

Women in Mixed Martial Arts: Fighting for Equality Part I
2009-08-23 15:44:00 A conversation about the state of women in the sport of mixed martial arts should begin with a glance back at two combative sports with a long history: boxing and wrestling. Although women's boxing first appeared in the Olympic games as a demonstration in 1904, it really took the entire 20th Century for it to gain acceptance within the athletic community. Despite strong social stereotypes and traditional points of views on the role women should have within our society, female fighters have been given several venues to showcase their skills, but lacked a fan base. Although organizations like The Swedish Amateur Boxing Association and The National Wrestling Alliance provided opportunities to see women part-take in the combative sports, a...

Ex-wrestler transitions to mixed martial arts
2008-06-07 00:37:00 Fighting has been in Rodney Begnaud's blood as far back as he can remember.He tells the story how his father, John Ernest, and himself as a 4-year-old left the hospital when his brother, former Northside High track and football star John Shane Begnaud, was born to go watch Andre the Giant wrestle at the Domingue Center near N.P. Moss Elementary.So although Begnaud, known as Redd Dogg Rodney Mack in fighting circles, may not officially have any ultimate fighting experience, he's not at all concerned about looking like a fish out of water when he makes his MMA debut at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Lafayette vs. The World ultimate fighting card at Blackham Coliseum...More?source: theadvertiser.com

Mixed martial arts legalization approved by Maryland legislature
2008-04-08 23:54:00 A measure that would legalize paid mixed martial arts competitions in Maryland under the regulation of the state athletic commission has received final approval from the legislature. The Baltimore Sun reports that the House of Delegates passed the bill late Monday in the final night of the session. After the expected signing by Governor O'Malley of the bill into law, the athletic commission will begin the process of drafting rules and training state referees. The Sun reports that MMA events would likely start taking place in the state next year.----The hysterical crying of critics who blast so-called "ultimate fighting" notwithstanding, state politicians have acted rationally in voting for legalization. Mixed martial arts has mainstreamed itself in recent years, moving away from the early bloodsport image that had all but annihilated the endeavor in earlier years.There was no good reason left for Maryland not to allow MMA under the same reasonable controls adopted successfully in ...

Ontario commissioner says mixed martial arts is illegal under Criminal Code

2007-11-07 02:57:00 By Todd Martin With the dissolution of the UWF, key players from the promotion went in different directions. A number of new fighting promotions were created, with varying degrees of reality. The biggest success was UWF International, or UWFI. The UWFI was a worked promotion built around Nobuhiko Takada, who derided the legitimacy of other Japanese wrestling companies. UWFI also featured young wrestlers Kazushi Sakuraba and Kiyoshi Tamura, who went on to have great success in mixed martial arts. Akira Maeda formed his own promotion, RINGS. RINGS was initially a worked promotion, built around Maeda. Over time, it would begin to mix works with shoots. Eventually, it would become an all shoot promotion, featuring major players like Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Fedor Emelianenko. While RINGS and UWFI continued to promote worked products, another group of UWF wrestlers decided to create something different. Pancrase was formed, and it became the first widely popular Japanese shoot ...

The overlooked origins of mixed martial arts: Part I - 31 Oct 2007 11:36:43
2007-11-01 00:36:00 By Todd Martin When it comes to the history of mixed martial arts, there is one dominant narrative. The Gracie family brought Brazilian jiu jitsu to the United States, and at UFC 1, a new sport was born. In fact, the story of mixed martial arts has two primary branches. MMA grew as a business and a sport both in the United States and Japan. One story of the growth of MMA involves the popularization of the sport in America. But the other is completely different. It's a story many American fans would be uncomfortable with, and one that is not widely known or understood in this country. It starts in the unlikeliest of locations. In the United States, professional wrestling has an extremely negative stigma. It is thought of by many as a form of entertainment aimed at the lowest common denominator. But this does not necessarily have to be so. Professional wrestling has been successful all over the world, with a variety of different styles and appeals. One place where it has alwa...

Lawmakers Consider Legalizing Mixed Martial Arts - 25 Oct 2007 08:16:17am
2007-10-25 10:16:00 NASHVILLE, Tenn. - One of the nation's fastest-growing sports may soon become legal in Tennessee.On Wednesday, a legislative committee held its first meeting to review whether mixed martial arts would be permitted in Tennessee. It features a variety of fighting techniques from different sports including wrestling and judo. The matches have turned into a $1 billion, worldwide industry. "Right now, 31 states have approved the sport, and our goal is wherever there's an athletic commission, to have the sport of mixed martial arts approved," said Marc Ratner of Ultimate Fighting Championship. "Right now, under our statute, mixed martial arts is not legal, and it was probably never considered in our statutory past," said state Rep. Curry Todd of Collierville. "These are truly athletes," said a supporter during the special legislative meeting Wednesday. "This is just not having a contestant in a bar room thug-type match. These are actually t...

Not long ago, Travis Lutter became so uneasy about his profession, he worked a white lie into every introduction. Whenever he was asked what he did, he replied that he ran a gym. The few times he told people he was a mixed martial arts fighter, he drew blank stares His vagueness was probably a good thing. If he told people that he entered a metal cage with the intent of pounding another human being into submission, the reaction might have been worse. "I didn't want to have that conversation," said Lutter, who runs a Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy in Fort Worth. "Now, I don't get a chance to answer that question much anymore." Many more people know Lutter, thanks to The Ultimate Fighter, a TV reality show. And mixed martial arts has become the next big thing.ENTIRE ...

It never will be.Too many of us like good fisticuffs for it to die.But even after Saturday’s fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Oscar De La Hoya, boxing remains on life support. Unless boxing reverts to its roots it will remain in a perpetual funk.While boxing struggles to regain its swagger, Mixed Martial Arts struts to its own boisterous and unashamed beat. If boxing isn’t careful, MMA will put a guillotine hold on boxing forcing it to surrender or as MMA enthusiasts say, “tap out.”ENTIRE ARTICLE |
