Why is everyone talking as if MMA is a martial arts? MMA is simply a fighting match that allows opponents to use any martial arts of their choice be it wrestling, boxing, kung fu, muay, thai etc.
It is therefore rediculous to say MMA is better than kung fu, judo, etc. It doesnt make sense. However, having said that, our experience so far has been that almost all successful fighters use a combination of muay thai and brazillian jiujitsu. (Not the kind practised by clinton6666 of coS). Kung fu, TKD and most stand up fighting styles have not done well so far. Kung Fu especially has been a big let down. You wont find many kung fu fighters up there and none have done well
