Abstract:
Daido Juku aka ‘Kudo’ is a pretty new Karate style. It's in the Budo tradition so it's not going the promotional way of big show events like MMA thus not getting that much of attention. The general public looks at Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) artists as belligerent lot of tattooed people fighting unnecessarily. People misunderstand them (Martial Arts Artists) as aggressive group and fail to understand the amount of efforts they put in. MMA calls for lot of discipline, dedication, determination and hard work. The training is rigorous, one gets hurt while training and learning; but one has to continue to get results! This paper is an endeavour to understand this form of sport looking at its origin, growth and current situation in India. It will give an insight so as to the overall development of an individual while pursuing Kudo.
