LET’S MAKE GREAT MIXED MARTIAL ARTISTS & Sportsmen IN INDIA
Being a Martial artist I always like to do study on “MIXED MARTIAL ARTS (MMA) GYMS IN INDIA”. Since MMA is considered as the fastest growing sports in the world; I found it absolutely necessary to study the huge Sporting, Financial & consumer relevance of these Gyms in our own PM’s dream MAKE IN INDIA
As par studying curren
t situations in MMA in India & considering its relevance all around the globe as a managerial student & as a martial arts enthusiast I would like to suggest some entities which would take Indian MMA in position which would create International legends:
1. Till 2008 MMA was not a highly popular sport; but in March 2008 it changed drastically with the Theatrical release of popular movie ‘NEVER BACK DOWN’ (NBD) ;after its release MMA effected youth globally like a Rave. Even biggest MMA tournament UFC started to compete with other popular leagues in the world like EPL, CL of football & other fighting entertainers like WWE. Hence fact of the matter is if a cult movie like NBD gets released in India then situation in Masses can change suddenly. Good news arrived when Karan Johar one of the top Producers in India is released remake of cult MMA movie Warriors in Hindi with the name ‘Brothers’ on Oct 2nd 2015 under his Dharma production. But that film was very less based on realistic MMA. Even Sultan of Salman was a MMA movie & it created some awareness in masses about MMA
2. Almost all MMA gyms in India are not affordable to common Indians; even higher middle income class thinks twice about joining MMA training courtesy to unaffordable rates of it. Hence those parents who want to teach there pal self defense skips MMA & take the path of traditional martial arts Karate & Judo. Unfortunately most of the traditional Martial science training centers in India do not provide necessary safety equipments; Considering the fact that any martial arts is a contact sports players do get injured without safety gears; sadly which results in many skipping martial arts. The best possible suggestion for all MMA gyms is they should seriously cut down rates of training provided by them & let it be affordable to common Indians
3. Industrialist Raj Kundra’s attempt of Super Fight League (SFL) was 1st professional MMA league in India on big scale. It was also an example of strategic & managerial failure; In country like India where choreographed fight entertaining event like WWE is popular & where Wrestling is played in almost every Village & Boxers like Mary and Vijender are national Icons, Where martial artist like Vidyut Jamwal, Tiger Shroff & Akshay Kumar are superstars; It was indeed easily acceptable that MMA league in India would get public appreciation with International stars involved in It. But successful leagues in India are franchisees based in other sports like IPL, Pro Kabbadi, And Indian Super League (Football). Kundra would have gone for the same tried and tested franchisee format instead of just trying to popular league by all the money he got. Well then the news came out that SFL moved to U.S. (The motherland of MMA) & going to get telecasted live on You Tube! Will now on SFL involves Indian fighters? If it doesn’t then Indian MMA needs some1 like Lalit Modi to make sure our own motherland gives chance of bread & butter to brilliant martial artists of India [The motherland of all Martial Arts (Kalaripayattu)]
4. India is a nation which has huge tradition of non violent Philosophers right from Buddha ,Mahavira ,M K Gandhi to Anna Hazare of this era although all this philosophers got different other philosophies but there common 1 was adopting non violent lifestyle. Hence many martial arts haters raise the moral policing issue to disturb the martial science fraternity; but they should all remember:
A. China is country with largest Buddhist population & yet they adopted real Buddhism better known as Zen Buddhism which always wanted to make sure every individual lives strong & healthy life & strength should be individuals primary priority
2. Apart from 1 fatal accident in Ireland there is no single evidence on sanctioned official fights of MMA that a fighter has lost his life during fight. In fact in All popular traditional martial arts does got the history of casualties in the bouts
3. In countries like Singapore, Israel etc. every citizen is been compulsorily trained in Martial Arts through military training & boy results are exceptional !!! In both those countries Woman’s are highly respected & disciplined Human Resources produce wonderful developmental results. Hence Finally I would like to conclude with suggesting Hippocrates that instead of hating Martial science always do remember India also belongs to fighter philosophers like Chatrapati Shivaji ,Bhagat Singh & Subhash Chandra Bose etc. & By joining MMA I am sure these haters will realize the actual spirituality
