MMA is not only for men, women have been making a huge rise in the sport as well. Fighters such as Gina Carrano, Ronda Rousey and Cyborg Santos, to name a few, have been showing the world that women can fight just as hard as men!

Did you know that you can burn anywhere from 600- 1000 calories in a 1 hour session of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?! It’s true, and not only that, it is also a great workout for strength and conditioning, since you are using your entire body in the workout.

Learning skills in mixed martial arts is great to know because not only is it one of the best workouts out there, it is great for women to learn how to defend themselves if their life is in danger. We here at MMA FIGHT personally believe that it is better to know the skills and to hopefully never use them, then to be stuck in a situation where you need to defend yourself and to be vulnerable to the attacker.

Here’s is a series of very informative short clips, compiled by MMA Candy, where they will be demonstrating 20 of the most basic moves in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The first move is the guard escape, hope you enjoy the video’s, it gave us here at mma fight a whole new look on MMA.
