    I need some help with common abbreviated martial arts terminology, like what is MMA? I know MA stands for martial arts or martial artists, but could someone give me a rundown of the most abbrieviations used? Thanks.

    as far as i know (and correct me if im wrong):
    MMA = Mixed Martial Arts or Submission
    TMA = Traditional Martial Arts
    CMA = Chinese Martial Arts
    IMA = Internal Martial Arts
    WMA = Western Martial Arts
    FMA = Filipino Martial Arts

    we did have a Glossary with everything in, until the Admins killed it in cold blood with the upgrade. See what happens when you do that YODA??? loads of questions about abreviations!!!
