fighting( MMA)
We have had fighting for a long time and we still use it today either as a sport, to cause violence or to protect ourselves. There is many ways to use our fists as weapons. This movie is all about MMA(mixed martial arts) and it has every style of fighting we have today. This movie has scenes of a tournament that shows many different styles that show how each style use there fists and feet differently to cause pain to each other or to defend ourselves.This movie resembles the real life of the UFC( ultimate fighting championship). For example at 0:30-0:50 it shows how to use your feet to knock the guy out.also at 3:10-3:20, you can also see how people use submission to take out their opponent. In MMA you find styles that are too fancy and that doesn't work in this sport as this video shows a great example at 3:33-3:45, the guy is to busy jumping around and trying to look good and we finally get closer the other guy just knocks him out cold. My favorite sport is MMA because it takes all anger out and it is a great stress re-leaver. MMA also is the number 1 sport for contact because it is all fighting, not just standing up but you can take your opponent to the ground and beat them up or even choke them out till the tap out. To tap out is when you make your opponent give up by taping the mat or any other thing around them (opponent or themselves), this is called a submission, agreat example is in the clip at 4:55-5:10. MMA is becoming one of the biggest sports today as it is getting more popular as football players are switching over to MMA as it is more of a contact sport.

Hey, I agree with the whole violence part of your post. I think that we are attracted to the fact of putting 2 men in a cage and letting them fight out for no reason. I think that it is a great sport and that it should become less frowned upon by some of the people of our society. I think it’s a great way to relieve stress as well
ReplyDeleteHey man, its true how you where saying people fight everyday, now a days people fight for their culture, their color and more. Fighting is something everyone has in them selve, people fight because they got problem with friends and family, and what they do is they, take out that anger and fight someone that has nothing to do with it, so they can relieve their stress like you've said.
