What is old becomes new and what is broken can be fixed. MMA is a trend, no doubt but that does'nt mean it has'nt shown signs of becoming what it was meant to surpass. MMA is becoming structured, the age of experimentation is over with. there is certainly not hundreds of years of tradition behind it but i think the changes are there and becoming more obvious. you can tell a fighters style by where they train and who they train with. certainly its not as defined as say Karate or TKD but overtime that is the direction it appears to be heading. especially as the trend grows and more discipline is required for the sake of uniformity to make teaching easier.
