Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MMA or Mixed Martial Arts is the hybrid contact sport that combines the best set of techniques from Muay Thai, karate, jujitsu, judo, wrestling, and boxing - just to name a few of the disciplines. Initially, MMA was considered to be a brutal blood sport because of its critics, but it slowly transitioned into a no-holds-barred competition, and it has maintained this persona to date. Nowadays, it has managed to move past 'the fastest-growing spectator sport' title into an internationally recognized and prosperous source of entertainment. You'll find MMA events being sanctioned in so many countries all over the world, along with all 50 states of the US. Action figures aren't only for kids now. Popular shows like 'The Toys that Made Us' illustrated the effect these collectibles have on cultures and people in recent times. This is why it is difficult to deny the fact that adults may drool over MMA action figures just as children would. Now we aren't saying every MMA toy has achieved the status of a collector's item. We're trying to tell you that the ultimate collector's items are those that have managed to become somewhat of a modern cult phenomenon. So much so that there are already multiple fan groups across a wide array of international markets for these collectibles.To be entirely honest with you, toys like Star Wars and G.I. Joe action figures have near-official collectible's lists, but what about UFC devotees and sports fans? Well, we have the brilliant option of selecting fighters whose popularity hasn't really waned with time. With your choice of unique action figures, you can immerse yourself in the world of mixed martial arts - whether traditional or contemporary. If you read on further, you will find some newer action figures of modern fighters alongside those that will always be remembered as legends in the UFC Hall of Fame. Still, a lot of people are going to find these action figures silly because they aren't everyone's cup of tea. Those of you who enjoy expressing their appreciation for this brilliant sport, however, will understand that these figurines are nothing short of true happiness. What some people may see as lumps of plastic are actually sources of joy and nostalgia for the millions of UFC fans out there. All of these people would agree that each of these items qualifies as a great trade off for all the memories that were made on the mats and the octagon.

Download or read book Catch Wrestling written by Jeff McCall and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catch wrestling (or Catch As Can Wrestling) is a bit of an umbrella term that captures several similar grappling arts. Generally speaking, current forms of catch wrestling are jacketless (no gi) arts that allow a wide range of submissions and also honor pins as a way to win a match. It is an extremely effective form of grappling and helped to establish an early form of Mixed Martial Arts. Much like Judo, catch wrestling got its start in the Middle Ages when armored knights would fight one another. The heavy metal armor presented real problems for the attacker, and one solution was to take the knight down and use the extra force of gravity to help defeat the prostrate man. They turned to wrestling traditions that existed in their respective cultures, which included a great deal of techniques for combat situations. Knights were full time soldiers who spent their lives developing and honing martial skills, and as a result the Middle Ages were something of a golden age of European martial arts, and to this day we still have combat manuals written by masters of the time. Getting started in Catch Wrestling can be daunting. But training martial arts is one of the most beneficial things I've ever done, mentally and physically, but getting over the beginner's hump was where a chunk of those benefits come from. Thankfully the Internet now allows us to learn more easily from those who came before us. Here is what you will learn in Beginning Catch Wrestling What is catch wrestling? Where did catch wrestling originate? Who invented Catch wresting? How did Catch wrestling change into professional wrestling? How does catch wrestling differ from Judo? How does catch wrestling differ from Brazilian Jiu-jitsu? How does catch wrestling differ from Russian Sambo? What happens in the average Catch Wrestling class? Is Catch Wrestling right for Women? How often should I train CW, as a beginner? Is CW just a sport, or will it teach me self-defence? I'm really out of shape: Do I need to get fitter before starting CW? What are the belt ranks in CW? I'm getting frustrated with my lack of progress: how can I overcome this? Guide To Rolling/Sparring I get tired quickly when sparring: what can I do? I'm scared of sparring what should I do? How do I avoid injuries in CW? I'm worried about getting cauliflower ear: how do I avoid it? Effective Catch Wrestling techniques (With Videos) Would You Like To Know More?

Book excerpt: You get an actual book about the history of Pro Wrestling and Wrestling Figures as well as a Wrestling Figures Price Guide combined in one book. Few would argue that wrestling fans are one of the most fanatical sports fan bases around. Contrary to popular belief, the wrestling fan base isn't limited to the WWE rather it stretches to the WWF, NWA, AWA, WCW, NJPW, AEW and UFC. Today, wrestling is followed by millions, if not billions, of people around the world. Wrestling collectibles such as wrestling cards, figures and memorabilia are a major reason professional wrestling has so many fans. Wrestling figures were among the favorite toys of kids in the 80s and 90s. Many of those kids have maintained their passion for wrestling figures to date even though they're all grown up now.If you're among the above then I'm betting that you go out of your way to find your favorite wrestling figures. Fortunately for you, wrestling figures and other wrestling collectibles are easily available and at affordable prices. However, to get the best deal, you must find out how much each wrestling figure/set is worth. Yes, you have a love for wrestling but that does not mean that you should throw money down the drain. Don't pay hundreds for something that costs less than $20. Most wrestling fans are guilty of doing this. Wrestling fans are extremely passionate about wrestling. They want to buy every wrestling figure and every version of it and why not: some wrestling figures are worth hundreds of dollars. Most collectors know that rare figure and also if that rare figure is just urban legend and doesn't exist.While collecting wrestling figures is fun, there are some cons to it. For instance, the aftermarket of pro wrestling figures isn't as organized as some of the other toy franchises such as Barbie and Star Wars. Tracking value of professional wrestling figures is quite hard as there is no official price guide bible. So, how do you know if a wrestling figure or other collectible is worth a fortune? This is a problem that we hope to solve. After you've read this book or wrestling price guide, you'll know what wrestling collectibles are available and what their price is. This will ensure that you don't buy a wrestling collectible for more than what it's worth. Additionally, this will help you to get the best possible deal for a collectible you own.
