Mixed Martial Arts (MMA Norwich) Rules

Mixed Martial Arts or MMA Norwich is a sport that combines different forms of fighting into one single sport and allows a fighter to try every possible technique that he feels comfortable and apt to use. However he can use them subject to a few rules, which I’d explain in the preceding paragraphs. MMA Norwich is a full body contact combat sport and therefore the extent of injury can be serious.

Earlier when this sport was incepted the techniques used by the fighters were not fierce but now due to globalization the techniques have evolved and the risk of fatal injuries has also increased. Therefore the rules associated with Pankration (Greco-Roman form ofMMA) evolved with every new style such as Vale tudo, Japanese Wrestling and UFC. The sport became fiercer and more aggressive over the years and therefore rules were required to remove the lawlessness and barbarism if the sport. Hence on 30^th July 2009 finally the unified rules of MMA Norwich were accepted.

Learn the Weight For MMA Norwich

The Mixed Martial Arts or MMA Norwich rules divide the fighters according to the weights. This was done to make the fight fair since it’s easier for a heavy weight fighter to crush a lightweight fighter. The nine weight classes are flyweight (up to 56.7 kg), bantamweight (up to 61.2 kg), featherweight (up to 65.8 kg), lightweight (up to 70.3 kg), welterweight (up to 77.1 kg) middle weight (up to 83.9 kg), light heavy weight (up to 93.0 kg), heavy weight (up to 120.2kg) and the last one is super heavy weight, which has no upper limit for weight.

To protect the fighters from cuts and bruises on their hands they were made to wear gloves with open ends at the finger side. The amateur fighters are made to wear heavy gloves i.e. of around 6 oz while the professional fighters can wear 4 oz gloves. Gloves ensure safety to hands and wrists. They were first introduced in Shooto, the Japanese form ofMMA Norwich.

In order to save time and energy of the fighters, the fighting rounds were timed in MMA Norwich. A concept of three rounds was introduced with the duration of each round as 5 minutes. The referee could stand up both the fighters if they are wasting time and not advancing to fight or resting on the ground.

The decision of victory in Mixed Martial Arts or MMA Norwich depends on various things. A fighter can be deemed victorious if his opponent taps out. Victory can also be given by judges’ result at the end of the three fight rounds. The referee can also deem a fighter victorious if his opponent cannot defend himself intelligently and has succumbed to defeat. The injuries of the fighter can also make him lose the round if they are declared serious by the doctor present.
