Valley Village, CA, December 06, 2010 (PressReleasePoint) -- PROPTA "The Personal Trainers Association" is the first and only certification school in the world to offer a course for MMA Professionals in Mix Martial Arts to get certified and teach the art. Professional athletes have to find a source of income in the field they like best. This is the only one of its kind.

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full contact combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques, from a mixture of martial arts traditions and non-traditions, to be used in competitions. The rules allow the use of striking and grappling techniques, both while standing and on the ground. Such competitions allow martial artists of different backgrounds to compete.

Modern mixed martial arts competition emerged in American popular culture in 1993 with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Originally organized with the intention of finding the most effective martial arts for real unarmed combat situations, competitors of various arts were pitted against one another with minimal rules for safety.
In the following decade, MMA promoters adopted many additional rules aimed at increasing safety for competitors and to promote mainstream acceptance of the sport. The name mixed martial arts was coined by one of the developers of these rules, Jeff Blatnick, a former Greco-Roman wrestler and Olympic gold medalist. Following these changes, the sport has seen increased popularity with pay per view reach rivaling boxing and professional wrestling.

Aumauinuuese S. Puni , Travis Brown, Mark Munos, Grisha Todorov , Tika Duckik and Ken Yasuda IFBB PRO Bodybuilder "Mr. Japan" and Professional MMA Coach fighter are the leading PROPTA Directors that will be heading this course of study in the Powerhouse Gym nationally and worldwide.

As a result of an increased number of competitors, organized training camps, information sharing, and modern kinesiology, the understanding of the combat-effectiveness of various strategies has been greatly improved. UFC commentator Joe Rogan has claimed that martial arts have evolved more in the ten years following 1993 than in the preceding 700 years.
