Assistant: Yes, Mixed Martial Arts, or "MMA" is a style of fighting where competitors can use a wide range of techniques and strategies. These techniques typically include striking, using punches, kicks and use of feet and knees in order to attack the opponent. In addition, you'll sometimes see grappling moves taught such as takedowns or submission holds where a competitor tries to overpower or manipulate their opponent in order to gain control of them. Lastly, ground fighting is a common aspect in MMA competitions, and competitors often try to gain control of their opponent on the floor with techniques like punches, ground and pound, and various submissions like choke holds or arm bars.
