Even though I'm a huge MMA fan I don't like it when people consider MMA an art in itself. Where do you live/train?
I live in Dublin and I'm very lucky to be able to train with a SBG Black Belt.

Most who do MMA consider it a sport really rather than a Martial Art in the tradition sense. But even as a sport I'd consider it more effective than most traditional martial arts that focus on 'street defence'.

UNfortuanally today alot of Traditional Martial Arts don't really train against fully resisting partners so often their skills fall flat when put in a real situation.
