While martial arts are one of the fastest growing sports in the US, the dangers are often dismissed. Yet, for 30 year old Michael Kirkham, his first professional mixed martial arts fight in June of this year was also his last.
Kirkham collapsed in the ring and though he was given immediate CPR, the 6'9" fighter died from extensive internal injuries.
One local doctor suggests that it is the culture of some martial arts fighting that is to blame.
The mentality that 'these fighters are gladiators, let them go out on their shields' is really detrimental to the sport," says Dr. Johnny Benjamin, an orthopedic surgeon who has mixed martial arts and boxing clients. "It needs to be seen more in the light of a major sport like the NFL and major league baseball."
Mixed martial arts are an extreme physical contact sport and many different types of martial arts are combined into one. Kirkham is only the second person to die from mixed martial arts fighting in the US.

The systematized and codified practice of the art of warfare or traditional combat is referred to as Martial arts. Martial arts vary widely, and may focus on a specific area or combination of areas, but they can be broadly grouped into focusing on strikes, grappling, or weapons training. While each style- boxing, karate, kung fu, wrestling, kali, kendo, judo, tai chi etc - have unique facets that differentiate it from other martial arts, a common characteristic is the systematization of fighting techniques. Moreover all the different types of martial arts possess the objective of defending oneself or others from physical threat through the use of blocks, kicks, punches etc. The various styles of martial arts can be broadly classified on the basis of their unique style:
• Striking or Stand-Up Styles

Most of the people, especially the adults have the wrong notion that they are not fit for learning karate as their body is not flexible and they are no longer fit to take the stress of karate. People should not be fear of taking karate lessons as they will gain flexibility at karate schools. Most of the adult people learn karate not to be young but to be in ideal shape and size. Besides learning karate, adults will be getting the opportunity to learn a lot of self defense mechanism. For kids it is always better to learn karate twice per week. If the karate classes will be once per week, it will be difficult to learn the karate lessons within a certain period of time. Two days per week will be the ideal proportion which makes your child able to cope up for getting lessons and simultaneously will be free to participate in other important activities.
