Hence, we see the growth of the sport of MMA as top competitors from different martial arts disciplines put their skills of kicking, punching, clinching and grappling to the test. Based on their successes and failures, they (and everyone else) then refine, correct, add to or improve on the techniques and strategies. It is a testament to Bruce Lee’s vision of absorbing what is useful and disregarding what is useless that we strive to find the most efficient and effective techniques for our survival. And with the advances in technology, we now have access to this knowledge in the form of online video clips, comments in forums and countless magazine articles.

Because of its effective and efficient techniques with an emphasis on and combination of striking, clinching, takedowns, throws and grappling, MMA serves as one of the most complete martial arts today. This book provides a foundation of mixed martial arts techniques and strategies that every street fighter should know. Furthermore, the book expands on these basic striking, clinching, takedown and grappling techniques and adds methods and techniques that can allow a fighter to defend against knife-wielding attackers.
