Brazilian jiu-jitsu, muay Thai,
kickboxing, taekwondo, karate, judo,

of modern mixed martial arts can be
traced back to the ancient Olympics

systems of codified full range
unarmed combat was utilized in the
sport of Pankration. Various mixed
style contests took place throughout
Europe, Japan and the Pacific Rim
during the early 1900s. The combat
sport of Vale Tudo that had developed
in Brazil from the 1920s was brought
to the United States by the Gracie
family in 1993 with the founding of
the Ultimate Fighting Championship

promotion company worldwide.
