Lecture: The History of Martial Arts (Day 1) Lecture/ Discussion 1:12 1 hrs 0 mins Small Group Instruction (SGI)
The History of Martial Arts

- Martial arts of the world Where do the martial arts come from? Most people would answer that they come from the orient. The truth is that every culture that has a need for martial arts has them. We have fighting manuals from medieval Europe that show many of the same techniques that we teach today 1. The ancient Greeks had wrestling, boxing and the pancrathalon. There are paintings on the walls of Egyptian tombs that are over four thousand years old showing both armed and unarmed fighting techniques that would seem familiar to many of todays martial artists2. - Jitsu vs. Do We are going to talk now about the Japanese martial arts because there are some very instructive things about their history that are a microcosm of martial arts in general and that are very useful in understanding American attitudes about martial arts in particular.
Every Japanese martial art ends with either the word Jitsu or Do, for example Jiu-Jitsu/Judo, Kenjitsu/Kendo, Aikijitsu/ Aikido. The original arts all end with Jitsu which means the art or technique. They were created out of the necessity of a violent time, when there was a definite need for fighting ability. The entire reason for the existence of the training was to produce competent fighters. As Japanese society became more settled and peaceful, the ability to fight well became less important. This was true even for members of the Warrior class, the Samurai. This, and the modernization of the 1 Medieval Combat: A fifteenth-Century Illustrated Manual of Sword fighting and Close-Quarter Combat ( a translation of Hans Talhoffers Fechtbuch printed in 1467), Codex Wallerstein: A Medieval Fighting Book from the Fifteenth Century on the Longsword, Falchion, Dagger, and Wrestling by Grzeggorz Zabinski with Bartlomiej Walczak Copyright 2002 by Grzeggorz Zabinski with Bartlomiej Walczak. 2 Combat Sports In the Ancient World by Michael B. Poliakoff Copyright 1987 by Yale University 10
Japanese military, resulted eventually in the banning of the wearing of the swords that were the badge of samurai rank, effectively making the warrior class the same as every one else. What this meant was that there were thousands of men who had spent their entire lives training to fight who had no real need for their martial abilities. Most of them simply stopped training all together and became normal members of society, but a few looked deeper at the results of their training. They realized that they had gained much more than just the ability to fight by it. Training in the martial arts had made them in to the men that they were. This then became the new reason for training. No longer was producing competent fighters of primary concern. The principle goal was to produce better people. One very good example of this is Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo. As a young man Kano became an expert in several systems of Jujitsu. However, not only was he an expert at Jujitsu, but he was also a teacher. He was director of the Tokyo Higher Normal School (precursor of the present Tokyo University of Education) for twenty three years and Chief of the Education Bureau of the Ministry of Education3. As Kano grew in his knowledge of Jujitsu, he realized that it could be used as a tool in developing better, well rounded, people. With this in mind he formatted the Jujitsu that he had learned into a better teaching tool and called it Judo. So the main difference between the Jujitsu that he learned and the Judo that he taught was the purpose. His teachers were mostly concerned with his fighting ability and skills. He on the other hand was more concerned with building the character of his students 4.
The Modern Martial arts
Although we have been talking specifically about the Japanese martial arts, this evolution from Jitsu to Do or in other words from concentrating on actual fighting ability to actual ability being of only secondary importance, is indicative of most of the modern martial arts world. If you read or listen to almost anything put out by someone in the contemporary martial arts community about training, it will almost invariably be colored by this change in the reason for training. To put things in perspective, imagine an accountant somewhere in America trying to decide whether or not martial art training is practical. If training cost the accountant $50 a month, he will spend $600 per year. What are the odds that he will be robbed in a way that his training could stop for $600 per year. Therefore from a fiscal perspective it makes more sense to save his money. Now consider his chances of becoming injured in training, as compared with his chances of becoming injured by an assault and you soon see that in a practical sense it really doesnt make much sense for the average citizen to train in the martial arts. There are of course many good reasons to train that have little to do with the practical need for fighting ability. There are thousands of people across America who are training to fight with a samurai sword. Very few of them believe they may need to defend themselves against sword wielding ninjas on the way to their car at the mall. They train because they enjoy it. For the same reason that people play baseball, or re-enact civil war battles or any other leisure activity. This of course is completely different from the situation of the Army. Modern Army Combatives training therefore stands apart from the vast majority of martial arts training in that producing actual fighting ability is of primary concern. Both the mental and physical benefits of

Brian N. Watson, Yukimitsu Kano 4 An excellent source on the history of Japanese martial arts is the series by Donn F. Draeger that consists of: Classical Bujutsu, Classical Budo, and Modern Bujutsu and Budo published by John Weatherhill, Inc of New York and Tokyo. Although Draeger tends to be Nipocentric in his views of the martial arts, his books some of the most thoroughly researched and well written on the subject, and in this case his Nipocentrism is not a handicap. 11
training gain their worth from their usefulness in producing more capable soldiers.

Learning Step / Activity 9. Lecture: Evolution of Judo to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to MMA (Day 2) Method of Instruction: Instructor to Student Ratio: Time of Instruction: Media: Lecture/ Discussion 1:12 1 hrs 0 mins Small Group Instruction (SGI)
Deliver Evolution of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Lecture: - Judo 14 years since the beginning of the Meiji era and the Japanese turn toward westernization, only 5 years since the outlawing of the wearing of the double swords. Other Jujitsu schools denigrated his system as being unrealistic and unproven. Challengers came and were met almost every day. "It seemed that the Kodokan had to take on the whole of Japan, and had to have a spirit of being ready for anything." wrote Kano in his own memoirs5. Judo had to prove itself in the trials of challenge matches. This era came to its climax in 1883 when the police officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Station arranged a series of fights between the top fighters of Totsuka-ha Yoshin-ryu jujutsu and the Kodokans best which ended in a resounding victory for the Judo men 6. Having with this great victory established itself as the premier martial arts school in Japan, When a young Jigoro Kano founded the Kodokan Judo institute in 1882, he had a formidable task ahead of him, how to spread the popularity of his new system in a country that was full of martial arts schools. Ad to that the volatility of the country, it had only been Kano set his sights on the rest of the world. He made several trips abroad and sent some of his best students around the world to spread the popularity of Judo They did this primarily by demonstration and by fighting the local champions of various western martial sports. Among those who went to spread the gospel of Judo to the world was his chief assistant, Yamashita, who went to America in 1903. While he was there, President Theodore Roosevelt arranged a challenge match with a middleweight catch-as-catch-can wrestler named Joseph Grant, who was teaching President Roosevelt wrestling. In a letter to his son Kermit, Roosevelt described the outcome Inside of a minute Yamashita had choked Grant, and inside of two minutes more he had got an elbow hold on him The President was impressed enough to take judo lessons from Yamashita and arranged for him to teach at the U.S. Naval Academy 7. Another student that went out was Mitsuyo Maeda who traveled to the United States, Europe, and Central and South America and eventually ended up in Brazil. He fought many challenge matches along the way and after arriving in Brazil was helped to raise a Japanese immigrant colony by a diplomat named Gastao Gracie. In return he taught Gastaos sons Judo/Jiu-Jitsu. This was in the 1920s and the two terms were both still being used for the system Kano was teaching 8. After training with Maeda

6 An excellent source on the this climatic match is the article Judo's Decisive Battle by Wayne Muromoto Copyright Tengu Press and Wayne Muromoto, Honolulu, Hawaii, 2002. 7 Professor Yamashita Goes to Washington by Joseph R. Svinth, Aikido Journal, 25:2 (1998). Copyright 2000 Joseph R. Svinth. 8 An example is the book Complete Kano Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, the Official Jiu-Jitsu of the Japanese 16
for a short time Gastaos oldest son Carlos opened his own school where he and his brothers, most notably the youngest brother Helio, started to teach and fight challenge matches as well 9.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Helio Gracie eventually arose as the familys champion. He began fighting challenge fights when he was 17 defeating a boxer named Antonio Portugal in only thirty seconds. Helio, at only 135lbs, reined as the no holds bared fighting champion of Brazil until he was 47 years old. During this time he lost only twice, once to the twelve time open weight Judo champion of Japan Masahiko Kimura, and once in a three hour and forty minute battle to his former student Waldemar Santana, both of whom outweighed him by over eighty pounds. Other members of the Gracie family carried the tradition of challenge matches forward and as they did, the techniques of their system were shaped by the demands of arena fighting. In 1989 an article entitled Bad10 was published in Playboy Magazine That essentially told the world about the Gracie family history of fighting challenge matches and about Helio Gracie, his oldest son Rorion and how he had issued a challenge to fight anyone in the United States, winner take all, for $100,000. Rorion had made somewhat of a name for himself around the martial arts community by selling videotapes, titled Gracies in Action, of his family and some of their students fighting against practitioners of various other martial arts. Eventually Rorion teamed with a promoter and created the first Ultimate Fighting Championship. The idea behind the first few UFCs was to pit practitioners of various martial arts against each other, with as few rules as possible, in order to see which arts were the most effective. In an eight or sixteen-man field, and using a single elimination format, Rorions younger brother Royce Gracie dominated every opponent he faced, winning three of the first four such tournaments and only failing to win once by becoming a heat casualty after winning his first fight.
Mixed Martial Arts
Soon however the demands of being a television event started to force changes in the UFC. Royce fought a thirty six minute draw that went beyond the time slot for the broadcast. Because of this, the producers were forced to implement time limits to the fights. With time limits came the need to decide the winner if the time limit was reached, in other words Judges. Of course when you have judges, it significantly changes what you have to do to win the fight. Now instead of winning outright, you can simply be doing a little better than your opponent when time runs out. As time went on, more rules were implemented and changed for the same reasons rules are changed in any spectator sport, the safety of the fighters and crowd appeal. These changes in the rules began to have an effect on the fighting. For example, in the early shows fighters who punched with closed fists usually broke their hand. Fights, however are much more exciting when the fighters slug it out. Therefore, four-ounce gloves were required, not for the safety of the fighters, but because they make fighters more willing to throw closed fist punches. What evolved was modern Mixed Martial Arts Although the addition of more rules have decreased the value of Mixed Martial Arts fighting as a laboratory for combative technique, as long as we realize what the limitations are, we can still learn allot about what will are will not work in real fights. There are no more pure Karate or TaeKwonDo practitioners fighting in the UFC for only one reason, they cant really fight. The crucible of competition Government, New York: G.P. Putnamss, 1925 9 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Theory and Techniques by Renzo Gracie and Royler Gracie, Invisible Cities Press, Montpelier, VT, 2002 10 Bad, Playboy article, vol. 36, no. 9 - September 1989 By Pat Jordan 17
has shown that there are only a certain amount of ways to twist someone arm behind there back, or take them off of their feet, or choke them unconscious that really work. As long as we remember that in a real fight people can also bite your nose off or poke your eye out or any number of tactics that are against the rules in MMA, we can still learn valuable lessons that in the absence of any sort of reality check on techniques, would simply be theory.

Learning Step / Activity 30. Lecture: Standard Competition Rules/ Officiating (Day 5) Method of Instruction: Instructor to Student Ratio: Time of Instruction: Media: Lecture/ Discussion 1:12 1 hrs 0 mins Small Group Instruction (SGI)
Deliver Competition Brief: General Competition Information A look at the history of Combatives systems reveals two fundamental mistakes, both of which are related to competition. The first mistake is having no form of competition. This is generally done due to the misguided thought that the techniques are too dangerous to be done competitively. While many techniques are too dangerous to be executed during live competition; there are great benefits to be gained by competing even in a limited set of techniques. The boxer is a better puncher than the traditional martial artist not because of the mechanics of punching but because his technique has
30
been refined in the crucible of competition. The feel for an enemys body movement of most high school wrestlers is superior to most traditional martial artists for this very same reason. For military units there are many other reasons that a competitive form is useful. The problem of developing a strong unit program is really the problem of how to motivate subordinate unit leaders to emphasize the training. Competitions can be useful for this in several ways. Competitions are also a very good way to encourage the pursuit of excellence in soldiers. The other mistake is that once you have decided on a method of competition, training will naturally become focused on winning at competition rather than on winning in combat. Over time, the system changes until it bears only a slight resemblance to the original combat art. This is evident in almost every Combatives system. Boxers do not concern themselves with how to defend against takedowns. Wrestlers do not concern themselves with defending against chokes. The dilemma then is how a combative system can garner the benefits from competition without falling into the trap of a competitive focus. One portion of the answer is to have a graduated system of competition rules. In this way there will not be a competitive advantage to training specifically for competitions. Those who do will find themselves unprepared for the additional techniques that are allowed at the next level of competition. This also allows for a very safe subset of techniques to be used at the lower levels without losing the combat focus. There are four sets of rules governing Combatives competition. Other combative sports are also encouraged, however it should be recognized that they sometimes reinforce bad combative habits.

Modern Army Combatives is an ever evolving program. This must be the case so that we can best prepare soldiers for the modern battlefield. Following the return of soldiers from OEF and OIF we realized that many soldiers lacked the tools necessary to quickly search and control detainees. Once this issue was brought to light we designed a class to address this deficiency. It is important to note that this class is very basic. This is done on purpose. We needed a generic solution that would not interfere with individual unit SOPs. In the law enforcement community, the vast majority of subjects that an officer comes in contact with will be compliant. Even those who initially are not compliant often quickly become compliant after even the slightest of force. Over time law enforcement agencies have build up vast amounts of experience dealing with compliant subjects. Techniques and whole combative systems evolve based upon this experience. Unfortunately this leaves them ill prepared when a subject refuses to comply. A popular theory is that of pain compliance. The Idea here is that escalating amounts of pain can be applied in order to compel the subject to comply. As both the Rodney King and the more recent Nathaniel Jones incidents demonstrate, increasing amounts of pain often cannot compel a subject to comply. In fact, as is made clear by both of these incidents, the usual response to increasing amounts of pain is increased resistance. This is particularly true when drugs or alcohol are involved. This is also true in a POW scenario were the mindset of the subject is already thinking of any fight in terms of life and death. In other words, these non compliant subjects often resist more as pain or force increases. In there mind the fight becomes not only a struggle to get away but a fight for their life. Theories of force progression have become the norm in the civilian law enforcement community, which not only presume the compliance of most subjects, but also do not address the continuum of force effectively given the realities of the modern battlefield or the differences between civil law enforcement and the law of war. As soldiers there are two scenarios we may see when dealing with EPWs or detainees. These scenarios are compliant and non-compliant. In both scenarios, safety is always the primary concern when dealing with a subject. In a compliant scenario it must be assumed that the subject could turn non-compliant at any moment. It is important that our tactics techniques and procedures take this possibility into account. At any moment we must be prepared for a compliant scenario to turn into a non-compliant one. A good example of a compliant scenario turned non-compliant was illustrated in Eastern Afghanistan in May 2002. Elements of 2 Ranger Battalion were conducting a cordon and search operation. During the operation a combatant ran from a building strait into a Platoon Leader who
43
happened to be part of the Cordon. The Combatant, who was not holding a weapon at the time, was tackled by the Platoon Leader. The Platoon Leaders RTO then began to search the Combatant as the PL pulled security on him. During the search the combatant produced a pistol. The RTO pushed him away and the PL shot and killed him. It is important to realize that the potential for a compliant scenario to turn non-compliant is minimized if a subject or subjects believes that their chances of escape are minimal. Therefore the search team should always attempt to portray a dominating presence of control. This is not only true when searching EPWs but when dealing with detainees in any kind of detention facility or wash site. Not long after combat operations began in Afghanistan a CIA agent named Michael Span was killed in a makeshift detention facility at Massari Shariff. The detainees during this event were able to jump Michael Span and get to a cash of weapons. If greater control had been exhibited this may not have happened. Michael Span was literally beaten to death. The same thing could happen to any one of us if we allow a lapse of control to lead a detainee or EPW to believe he has a chance to resist or escape. It is equally important that we utilize the five Ss when applicable. In a non-compliant scenario it is important that sufficient force is utilized. This is true weather the subject is non-compliant from the start or if the scenario starts as compliant and turns non-compliant later. When a subject is non-compliant the actions of the search team should be motivated primarily with the safety of the team and secondarily with controlling the situation so that it does not require deadly force. This is primarily accomplished by utilizing immediate overwhelming force. The search team should be prepared to utilize deadly force at all times if it becomes necessary, for example to protect the life of a member of the search team and the ROE allows for it. The techniques we have taught in this class are suggestions. This is just one way that soldiers can quickly and effectively search detainees safely. There are many other techniques that are just as sound. This class is meant to give soldiers tools they can use in they lack other ways to get the job done.

- Martial arts of the world Where do the martial arts come from? Most people would answer that they come from the orient. The truth is that every culture that has a need for martial arts has them. We have fighting manuals from medieval Europe that show many of the same techniques that we teach todaynd. The ancient Greeks had wrestling, boxing and the pancrathalon. There are paintings on the walls of Egyptian tombs showing both armed and unarmed fighting techniques that would seem familiar to many of todays martial artists11. - Jitsu vs. Do We are going to talk now about the Japanese martial arts because there are some very instructive things about their history that are a microcosm of martial arts in general and that are very useful in understanding American attitudes about martial arts in particular.
Every Japanese martial art ends with either the word Jitsu or Do, for example JiuJitsu/Judo, Kenjitsu/Kendo, Aikijitsu/ Aikido. The original arts all end with Jitsu which means the art or technique. They were created out of the necessity of a violent time, when there was a definite need for fighting ability. The entire reason for the existence of the training was to produce competent fighters. As Japanese society became more settled and peaceful, the ability to fight well became less important. This was true even for members of the Warrior class, the Samurai. This, and the modernization of the Japanese military, resulted eventually in the banning of the wearing of the swords that were the badge of samurai rank, effectively making the warrior class the same as every one else. What this meant was that there were thousands of men who had spent their entire lives training to fight who had no real need for their martial abilities. Most of them simply stopped training all together and became normal members of society, but a few looked deeper at the results of their training. They realized that they had gained much more than just the ability to fight by it. Training in the martial arts had made them in to the men that they were. This then became the new reason for training. No longer was producing competent fighters of primary concern. The principle goal was to produce better people. One very good example of this is Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo. As a young man Kano became an expert in several systems of JuJitsu. However, not only was he an expert at Jujitsu, but he was also a teacher. He was director of the Tokyo Higher Normal School (precursor of the present Tokyo University of Education) for twenty three years and Chief of the Education Bureau of the Ministry of Education 12. nd Medieval Combat: A fifteenth-Century Illustrated Manual of Sword fighting and Close-Quarter Combat ( a translation of Hans Talhoffers Fechtbuch printed in 1467), Codex Wallerstein: A Medieval Fighting Book from the Fifteenth Century on the Long sword, Falchion, Dagger, and Wrestling by Grzeggorz Zabinski with Bartlomiej Walczak Copyright 2002 by Grzeggorz Zabinski with Bartlomiej Walczak. 11 Combat Sports In the Ancient World by Michael B. Poliakoff Copyright 1987 by Yale University 12 The Father of Judo: A Biography of Jigoro Kano by B-50
As Kano grew in his knowledge of Jujitsu, he realized that it could be used as a tool in developing better, and more well rounded, people. With this in mind he formatted the Jujitsu that he had learned into a better teaching tool and called it Judo. So the main difference between the Jujitsu that he learned and the Judo that he taught was the purpose. His teachers were mostly concerned with his fighting ability and skills. He on the other hand was more concerned with building the character of his students 13.
The Modern Martial arts
Although we have been talking specifically about the Japanese martial arts, this evolution from Jitsu to Do or in other words from concentrating on actual fighting ability to actual ability being of only secondary importance, is indicative of most of the modern martial arts world. If you read or listen to almost anything put out by someone in the contemporary martial arts community about training, it will almost invariably be colored by this change in the reason for training. To put things in perspective, imagine an accountant somewhere in America trying to decide whether or not martial art training is practical. If training cost the accountant $50 a month, he will spend $600 per year. What are the odds that he will be robbed in a way that his training could stop for $600 per year. Therefore from a fiscal perspective it makes more sense to save his money. Now consider his chances of becoming injured in training, as compared with his chances of becoming injured by an assault and you soon see that in a practical sense it really doesnt make much sense for the average citizen to train in the martial arts. There are of course many good reasons to train that have little to do with the practical need for fighting ability. There are thousands of people across America who are training to fight with a samurai sword. Very few of them believe they may need to defend themselves against sword wielding ninjas on the way to their car at the mall. They train because they enjoy it. For the same reason that people play baseball, or re-enact civil war battles or any other leisure activity. This of course is completely different from the situation of the Army. Modern Combatives training therefore stands apart from the vast majority of martial arts training in that producing actual fighting ability is of primary concern. Both the mental and physical benefits of training gain their worth from their usefulness in producing more capable soldiers.
Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu And the evolution of Mixed Martial Arts
Judo
Brian N. Watson, Yukimitsu Kano 13 An excellent source on the history of Japanese martial arts is the series by Donn F. Draeger that consists of: Classical Bujutsu, Classical Budo, and Modern Bujutsu and Budo published by John Weatherhill, Inc of New York and Tokyo. Although Draeger tends to be Nipocentric in his views of the martial arts, his books some of the most thoroughly researched and well written on the subject, and in this case his Nipocentrism is not a handicap. B-51
14 years since the beginning of the Meiji era and the Japanese turn toward westernization, only 5 years since the outlawing of the wearing of the double swords. Other Jujitsu schools denigrated his system as being unrealistic and unproven. Challengers came and were met almost every day. "It seemed that the Kodokan had to take on the whole of Japan, and had to have a spirit of being ready for anything." wrote Kano in his own memoirs14. Judo had to prove itself in the trials of challenge matches. This era came to its climax in 1883 when the police officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Station arranged a series of fights between the top fighters of Totsuka-ha Yoshin-ryu jujutsu and the Kodokans best which ended in a resounding victory for the Judo men15. Having with this great victory established itself as the premier martial arts school in Japan, When a young Jigoro Kano founded the Kodokan Judo institute in 1882, he had a formidable task ahead of him, how to spread the popularity of his new system in a country that was full of martial arts schools. Ad to that the volatility of the country, it had only been Kano set his sights on the rest of the world. He made several trips abroad and sent some of his best students around the world to spread the popularity of Judo They did this primarily by demonstration and by fighting the local champions of various western martial sports. Among those who went to spread the gospel of Judo to the world was his chief assistant, Yamashita, who went to America in 1903. While he was there, President Theodore Roosevelt arranged a challenge match with a middleweight catch-as-catchcan wrestler named Joseph Grant, who was teaching President Roosevelt wrestling. In a letter to his son Kermit, Roosevelt described the outcome Inside of a minute Yamashita had choked Grant, and inside of two minutes more he had got an elbow hold on him The President was impressed enough to take judo lessons from Yamashita and arranged for him to teach at the U.S. Naval Academy 16. Another student that went out was Mitsuyo Maeda who traveled to the United States, Europe, and Central and South America and eventually ended up in Brazil. He fought many challenge matches along the way and after arriving in Brazil was helped to raise a Japanese immigrant colony by a diplomat named Gastao Gracie. In return he taught Gastaos sons Judo/Jiu-Jitsu. This was in the 1920s and the two terms were both still being used for the system Kano was teaching 17. After training with Maeda for a short time Gastaos oldest son Carlos opened his own school where he and his brothers, most notably the youngest brother Helio, started to teach and fight challenge matches as well18.

Helio Gracie eventually arose as the familys champion. He began fighting challenge fights when he was 17 defeating a boxer named Antonio Portugal in only thirty seconds. Helio, at only 135lbs, reined as the no holds bared fighting champion of Brazil until he was 47 years old. During this time he lost only twice, once to the twelve time open weight Judo champion of Japan Masahiko Kimura, and once in a three hour and forty minute battle to his former student Waldemar Santana, both of whom outweighed him by over eighty pounds. Other members of the Gracie family carried the tradition of challenge matches forward and as they did, the techniques of their system were shaped by the demands of arena fighting. In 1989 an article entitled Bad19 was published in Playboy Magazine That essentially told the world about the Gracie family history of fighting challenge matches and about Helio Gracie, his oldest son Rorion and how he had issued a challenge to fight anyone in the United States, winner take all, for $100,000. Rorion had made somewhat of a name for himself around the martial arts community by selling videotapes, titled Gracies in Action, of his family and some of their students fighting against practitioners of various other martial arts. Eventually Rorion teamed with a promoter and created the first Ultimate Fighting Championship. The idea behind the first few UFCs was to pit practitioners of various martial arts against each other, with as few rules as possible, in order to see which arts were the most effective. In an eight or sixteen-man field, and using a single elimination format, Rorions younger brother Royce Gracie dominated every opponent he faced, winning three of the first four such tournaments and only failing to win once by becoming a heat casualty after winning his first fight.
Mixed Martial Arts
Soon however the demands of being a television event started to force changes in the UFC. Royce fought a thirty six minute draw that went beyond the time slot for the broadcast. Because of this, the producers were forced to implement time limits to the fights. With time limits came the need to decide the winner if the time limit was reached, in other words Judges. Of course when you have judges, it significantly changes what you have to do to win the fight. Now instead of winning outright, you can simply be doing a little better than your opponent when time runs out. As time went on, more rules were implemented and changed for the same reasons rules are changed in any spectator sport, the safety of the fighters and crowd appeal. These changes in the rules began to have an effect on the fighting. For example, in the early shows fighters who punched with closed fists usually broke their hand. Fights however are much more exciting when the fighters slug it out. Therefore, fourounce gloves were required, not for the safety of the fighters, but because they make fighters more willing to throw closed fist punches. What evolved was modern Mixed Martial Arts Although the addition of more rules have decreased the value of Mixed Martial Arts fighting as a laboratory for combative technique, as long as we realize what the limitations are, we can still learn allot about what will are will not work in real fights. There are no more pure Karate or TaeKwonDo practitioners fighting in the UFC for only one reason, they cant really fight. The crucible of competition has shown that there are only a certain amount of ways to twist someone arm behind there back, or 19 Bad, Playboy article, vol. 36, no. 9 - September 1989 By Pat Jordan B-53
take them off of their feet, or choke them unconscious that really work. As long as we remember that in a real fight people can also bite your nose off or poke your eye out or any number of tactics that are against the rules in MMA, we can still learn valuable lessons that in the absence of any sort of reality check on techniques, would simply be theory.

remember that submission will end the fight regardless of the score. The point values are:
2 Points---------Take Down: From the standing position, the fighter places his opponent on the ground but fails to gain dominant position. 3 Points----------Take Down: From the standing position, the fighter places his opponent on his back and gains a position past the guard: side control, mount, knee in the stomach, north-south, etc. 3 Points----------Pass the Guard: From between his opponent's legs, the fighter clears the legs and gains side control or the mount. 3 Points----------Sweep: From the guard position, the fighter changes positions, placing his opponent on his back. 3 Points----------Knee Mount: From side control, the fighter establishes one knee in his opponent's chest / abdomen and the other knee up and away from him and stabilizes himself. 4 Points----------Mount: The fighter establishes the mount with both knees and feet on the ground. 4 Points----------Back Mount: The fighter establishes the back mount with both feet hooked in position. 1 Point --------Stalling: Planning to use the clock to your advantage.

Their use may result in disqualification: Strikes of any kind Twisting knee & ankle locks Finger techniques Wrist techniques
B-67
Grabbing the fingers Toe holds Attacking the groin Slamming the opponent to pass the guard Spiking Slams Single digit gouging 6. Tie Breaking: If the score is tied at the end of the allotted time, the match will continue until the next point is scored or deducted. 7. Time limits: Time limits tend to change the type of technique commonly employed. There is however a need to limit the length of matches, especially when conducting a large number of them, for instance in a tournament. It is preferable to have no time limit, the victor decided by submission. If time limits are to be employed, a specific time limit will be decided on in advance, commensurate with the number of fights to be conducted. Another technique is to have a set amount of maximum points, usually fifteen. The first fighter who reaches that limit is the winner. Everyone involved should however keep in mind that a victory by submission is far preferable to a point victory.
