Mixed Martial Arts

[attr="class","main"]

[attr="class","type"]
Type: Hand-to-hand combat
Strengths: MMA is effective at close range and the user is never left without a weapon on their person. The style can adapt to nearly any situation as long as the user is creative enough, and can be used against those wielding weapons or other powers alike.
Weaknesses: MMA is only effective at very short range, if the adversary is talented at evading or can attack from a distance this makes fighting difficult. Arm injuries can leave the user severely weakened, and leg injuries can put them out of fighting entirely until the injury is healed. MMA doesn't have any strengths in a fight against multiple opponents, the style was made for one-on-one and doesn't adapt very well to a one-on-many situation.

Mixed Martial Arts, or MMA, is a style of hand-to-hand combat that pulls from nearly all other styles to create a hybrid. This hybrid involves both grappling and striking, and the blows can be delivered by fist and foot. Each user often develops his or her own preferred combination of styles and moves to create something unique to themselves, though this can always be adapted depending on the situation.

A user of MMA uses both their blows and their ground to their advantage. They must keep in mind not only what they are doing but also how they are moving in relation to the adversary or adversaries, and where their next move will leave them. Often, a user of MMA will deliver a series of blows and then pull back into a defensive stance before their adversary has a chance to fully retaliate. The adversary's size is also taken into consideration, and there are specific attacks and throws that will use the adversary's large size to their disadvantage.

• ▶ Centrum Cartwheel - The individual closes distance between them and their opponent with a cartwheel, and on the way down kicks the opponent in the face or shoulder.
  
• ▶ Gravitation - The individual leaps up into the air and bends their legs, grabbing their ankles with their hands behind their body. They land with their knees driving into a part of their opponent's body, usually the abdomen.
  
• ▶ Attack Name - The individual tilts back on their non-dominant foot and then swings forward with a punch from their dominant hand aimed for the jaw of the opponent or other weak areas of their body.
  
• ▶ Bite the Dust - The individual drapes the opponent's nearest arm over his or her shoulder, then lifts the opponent upside-down and slams them face-first into the ground, often resulting in the user falling to the ground as well.
  
• ▶ Flat Septum - The individual grabs the opponent by the hair and pulls their face down onto his or her knee.
  
• ▶ On Your Arse - The individual attempts to knock their opponent off-balance by sweeping his or her leg just above the ground where the opponent's feet are.
  
• ▶ Bloody Lung - The individual begins with a flurry of jabs towards the face and upper torso, then jabs the opponent in the lower abdomen with their knee.
  
• ▶ Know Your Place - The individual crouches down and places one arm around the opponent's waist and the other behind their leg. The individual then lifts the opponent up by that leg and onto their back.
