🤣
Were you born with your head turned the wrong way?🤣
UFC is just another term for a combat skill; it doesn't mean anything else. What you're seeing on YouTube isn't actually "fighting," it's more like an acrobatic performance act. You won't find a gym that trains that specifically. The closest thing around here would probably be some veteran Taekwondo groups that do similar demonstrations🤔 They show up at exhibitions and on TV sometimes. It's similar to Capoeira too, just with less acrobatics and more rhythm.
I'm pretty sure that guy in the video has a Taekwondo background. Most of them perform those flashy moves that aren't actually useful in a real fight.🙄
Maybe check with a local Taekwondo club; one of the regulars on this forum might even get back to you. We used to have two women practicing it in our area.
Basically, UFC equals combat skills, and there are hundreds of different kinds. If they are competitive (wrestling, karate, Muay Thai, judo, boxing...), we usually just call them combat sports. There are other minor distinctions, but they don't really matter to you...☕
