We Love Mixed Martial Arts in The Velvet Bungalow...
LOVE IT!!!
In fact, we love it so much, we can't stop talking about it...
And, we WON'T stop talking about it, until the South Carolina State Athletic Commission changes it's way of thinking and comes around to the REALITY that MMA is NOT the brutal spectacle that marks the beginning, but now is a controlled SPORT, and should be dealt with as such...
What can you do to help, o ye MMA fans?
Well, you can start by signing our petition to allow Mixed Martial Arts in SC as a SANCTIONED sport... You can find our petition at two local MMA gymnasiums, Precision Fight Sports on Rivers Ave. in North Chuck and Grand Champ MMA on Belgrade Ave. in West Ashley... It can also be found at Halligan's Bar and Grille on Savannah Hwy in W.A. also...
Is Mixed Martial Arts a brutal sport?
SURPRISE!
In many ways, it's less brutal than boxing (which IS sanctioned)... It's true that in MMA, four-ounce gloves are used as opposed to eleven-ounce gloves, but this is mainly to protect the knuckles of the puncher...
The real difference is that, with boxing, you could potentially get punched in the face for upwards of 36 minutes (12 three-minute rounds) as opposed to 15-25 minutes (3-5 five-minute rounds) of NOT getting punched in the face the whole time...
And, with boxing, if you get knocked silly, the referee will give you a Standing Eight Count, or as I like to call it, "Your chance to get even MORE brain damage!"... In MMA, if you get knocked silly, the referee STOPS THE FIGHT!
Ultimately, however, the politicians need to realize that, not only is it safer than most combat sports, it is growing like wildfire, and taking South Carolina tax revenue to OTHER STATES, costing our great state another step in PROGRESS!
MMA fans of South Carolina, in or out of Charleston, do your part in bringing the greatest combat sport on the planet to our back yard... SIGN OUR PETITION!
