Using MMA as a Self-Defense Method
codereddefense.com/using-mma-as-a-self-defense-method/
Is MMA useful for self defense?
Mixed Martial Arts offers great fighting techniques. But the big question is the following: Is
using MMA as a self-defense method any good?
The short answer is: Yes. However, there are important differences that need to be
addressed.
Firstly, there are a lot of movements and techniques in MMA that could be very useful when it
comes to self-defense.
For instance, MMA teaches you about timing, balance, range, mobility and speed. These are
all very important factors of self-defense.
Basically, Mixed Martial Arts can teach you a lot about how to position your body and
stances when it comes to self-defense.
By having a better understanding of your body and how to use it, you can better perform the
different self-defense techniques that can help you during a fight.

techniques. That’s why it’s often easier to train people in self-defense who already have a
solid MMA background.
The students who already understand the anatomy of fighting, can add the other elements of
personal protection that are missing from their training.
In other words, the MMA students are generally more prone to learn self-defense quicker,
since they understand the core elements of fighting.

That is to say, we strongly encourage people who want to take self-defense classes to
already have a good understanding of MMA. This will make the training aspect of self-
defense much easier.
