“…Been such the types of injuries, we found that the contusion, laceration and abrasion were the most frequent, corroborating some studies on the topic [6,15,19], because a biomechanical characteristic of the sport are the various forms of "grip fighting" (kumikata) representing almost 70% of the [2,19] throw. To achieve a good "grip fighting", during the fight there are constant and rapid changes in movement of the limbs and body [15,19] and, as a consequence, increase the frequency of these types of injuries. Our findings go against the literature data claiming that judo is a modality of martial arts that presents a high frequency of serious injuries…”

Judo, created by Jigoro Kano in 1882, became an Olympic sport in 1964 and is currently considered one of the most popular martial arts in the world. Its origin comes from the former Japanese Jiujitsu , which consisted primarily of combat techniques to be used in battles or individual conflicts [1,2]. The number of practitioners has grown in the last ten years worldwide, both in the male and female categories, especially after the great Brazilian Olympic achievements by athletes such as Aurélio Miguel, Rogério Sampaio,

REGULI, Z.; BERNACIKOVÁ, M. & KUMSTÁT, M.Anthropometric characteristics and body composition in aikido practitioners. Int. J. Morphol., 34(2):417-423, 2016. SUMMARY:Although aikido is a non-competitive martial art, it is recognised by SportAccord as worldwide practiced combat sport. There is a lack of scientific research in aikido and the influence of aikido practice on the human body is not known. This is the first study that presents anthropometric characteristics and body composition data in aikido practitioners. 33 adult male aikido athletes (age 36.5±9.6 years, height 178±8 cm, weight 81.2±10.1 kg) were measured. All subjects were divided from beginner to intermediate and advanced group, and were recruited from the Czech Aikido Federation which is officially recognised by the centre of aikido in Japan. As main methods, bio impedance and skinfold measurements were realized. In aikido, body composition does not play an important role compared to other martial arts. Average values are similar to reference of non-athlete population (BMI 25.6±2.7 kg/m, BF 17.18±5.18 %, FFM 65.71±7.69 kg, BSA 1.98±0.15 m 2 ). Even though, aikido has positive effects on body composition, it does not have a high impact. Thus, aikido players should also gain benefits from other aspects of martial arts.

MMA has existed for decades in Brazil and other countries (13,29), and is increasing in popularity, while combining different fighting styles (martial arts) (1,2,6,13).…”

“…MMA has existed for decades in Brazil and other countries (13,29), and is increasing in popularity, while combining different fighting styles (martial arts) (1,2,6,13). Combatants wearing minimal protective gear can use punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, stomps, chokes, joint locks, throws, and more to obtain a victory by knock-out, technical knockout, or submission (16).…”
