We call Mixed Martial Arts the union of several martial arts with the aim that they are used as a self defense system and / or to compete as a fighting sport.

Currently it is considered the combat sport with the highest contact in the martial arts, since it includes the combination of several of the contacts of the martial arts together, such as the use of blows, kicks, keys and several of the techniques of the other disciplines such as those of Karate, Boxing, Taekwondo, Lucha libre, etc.

The origin of the current mixed martial arts goes back to the Ancient Olympic Games, where previously the system used was pankration, one of the oldest combat methods and with few rules in 708 BC.
