I've been practicing martial arts since the early 90's. I've gained rank in a couple of systems and dabbled in many others for fun. Lately I notice most local schools are advertising either MMA or BJJ. Growing up it was always Karate, maybe Judo. When I began TKD was peaking. We could point to so many things wich would increase a systems popularity. For example a major movie star doing a system such as Bruce Lee. Or maybe a regular TV series like Kung Fu. I think the obvious reason MMA has gained popularity is because of watching it competitively on television. MMA has its stars in cinema as well.
With all these musings. Do you all think MMA will continue to rise in popularity or has it peaked? What will be the next big thing and if so why?
Cheers,
Jon
