Mixed Martial Arts is very popular in the world of self-defense and competitive sport fighting. The wide spread excitement over cage fighting events on television has contributed greatly to its growth.
Mixed Martial Arts takes components of the stand up fighting systems found in Traditional Karate, boxing, and Muay Thai, and adds ground techniques found in systems such as wrestling, and Jiu-Jitsu.
Ryukyu Kempo in its most traditional incarnation teaches proficiency in stand up fighting with the hands, feet, and body movements that will in many cases prevent a fighter from winding up on the ground; however, there are no guarantees.It is with this in mind that Ryukyu Kempo also contains many throws, locks and other grappling application in the traditional kata studied by our students.
In an effort to expose our students to as many conflict scenarios and fighting styles as possible, Millennium Martial Arts has added ground fighting techniques, take down, and take down defense of Mixed Martial Arts.
