What's the difference between grappling and mixed martial arts?

MMA is mixture of everything, thaiboxing, submission wrestling, brazilian jujitsu.



Grappleing clubs i meant in.. freestyle, greco wrestling, judo, sambo.

Hi ukbrit.



There is no MMA gyms here in the north,but there is taekwondo.



The gym david haye used to train at is in ozankoy.



We had a MMA exhibition here last year at the cratos hotel and if im honest it was very dissapointing,the police or goverment here made them tone it down,so it was not what we expected from MMA,as it was then an exhibition and not a competition as it should of been,or so they said they was made to tone it down!!



check out the link,this was the XFC version of UFC,a bit tame if you ask me.
