Training in MMA, BJJ, and other martial arts can teach a person discipline, keep them fit, and even lead to a career in professional fighting. MMA training can also be handy in situations where the law is being broken and a suspected criminal needs to be defended against, stopped, and detained.

This stream includes stories of fighters, and others who have trained in MMA, attempting to use their skills in potentially dangerous situations with suspected criminals.
