Mixed Martial Arts is a relatively new staging of the ultimate battle between two practitioners fighting in a cage. With it’s brutality it challenges the practitioner’s physical limits and mental barriers. In this article we go behind – or maybe rather before – the fight and describe the training practices of American MMA practitioners. Accordingly, the aim of this article is to describe the community of practices which MMA practitioners are part of – ‘backstage’ – when preparing for their fight(s).
