quozaxx Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Mixed Martial Arts is becoming very popular. Lots of cage fights, punches, kicks, and pins. But I really don't want to pick and choose. So which Martial Arts Package do you think fits the Mixed Martial Arts fighting style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-Bear Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Kung fu has the longest list (iirc of 5ed) so I would look at that and just rename. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadman Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Here is what the 6e Martial Arts book has to say on the subject... “Mixed Martial Arts,” or MMA, is a term used in the Martial World for a type of full-contact fighting, and the training associated with it. This form of martial arts contest became particularly popular thanks to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) competition, which begun in 1993. MMA training emphasizes three areas. The first is groundwork — fighting on the ground. Royce Gracia’s victories in the first, second, and fourth UFCs (which were single-elimination tournaments) showed how important this aspect of combat is. The second is clinchwork — throws, takedowns, and striking an opponent while grabbing him. Last is stand-up work — punching, kicking, and other strikes and maneuvers performed while standing up. MMA isn’t alone in the world of full-contact fighting. For example, Vale Tudo (“anything goes”) is a similar form of fighting competition in Brazil. It began as “taking on all challengers” fights in Brazilian circuses in the 1920s and remains a popular sport today. In HERO System terms, if you want to build an MMA-style fighter, you should buy a variety of Martial Maneuvers and Skills from the following styles: Boxing; Jujutsu (especially the Brazilian Jujutsu substyle); Karate; Muay Thai; and Wrestling.

Rules for groundfighting are found on Pg127 6E2. PS: Groundfighting can eliminate the penalties. You could also take and Environmental Movement for it.
