How fun is mma?

Question

How fun is mma?

Answer 1

depends how much fun you think fighting is

if you like the idea of scrapping, punching, wrestling and otherwise going at it, then it's probably for you

it seems to appeal the most to younger guys (under 30 or so)

some guys seem to like the fighting part, but as soon as the novelty wears off, they start finding more interesting things to do, so they don't really learn much

other guys get really into learning and improving themselves, but it remains to be seen if mma is really a lifelong pursuit, as compared to other more mellow arts  (after all, even the earliest mma "stars" are only in their 40's)

I like it, as exercise and to watch as a sport, but it's mostly a sort of supplement to my overall martial arts training (as a "martial art" mma suffers from limitations and shortcomings just like any other style)

if you like to compete, you may enjoy it, but you also may enjoy more straightforward competition styles too, like grappling, judo, jujitsu, boxing, wrestling, etc.

I would suggest trying it, then decide for yourself
