		Examples of Street MMA are the Dog Brothers style of martial arts sparring (full-contact stickfighting with limited to no protective gear and real sticks), Roy Harris' school in San Diego, CA, and Frank Benn's school in Austin, TX.

	Mixed martial arts goes mainstream - Etc.
		Realizing that no single martial art is well-rounded enough to deal with all potential areas of fighting, MMA competitors cross-train in a variety of striking and grappling arts, usually incorporating boxing, kickboxing or muay thai, wrestling, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu or submission wrestling into their training regimen.
		MMA is exciting in part because there are so many ways to win - takedowns, throws, punching, kicking, knees, elbow strikes, and submission holds (arm locks, leg locks, chokes).
		While it is also very popular overseas, MMA is fully sanctioned in the U.S. by several state athletic commissions and there are actually quite a few rules to protect the safety of the fighters and prohibit potentially dangerous strikes such as head-butts and kicks to the head of a downed opponent.
