do you still call it "Mixed MArtial ARts" becasue thats what it is isnt it?
or do you just call it this persons way of fighting or that persons?
serious question |
Indeed.
It
isn't that I dont realise that the term "Mixed Martial Art" is the NAME of a sport. Just like Boxing, Kickboxing, Wrestling, etc.
But as in the structure of a name, derived from some generalized defining, we have;
Boxing, was another name for Pugilism
Kickboxing is a combination of boxing and a kicking art, for ex.- Karate.
However, given that the Sport of MMA, its definition and practices clearly indicate that it is "Mixed".
Therefore, any art, such as kickboxing, etc., is a "mixed martial art", though not in the sport-name.
