Elon Musk y Mark Zuckerberg they have tacitly challenged each other to a fight. And, where we say tacitly, we could say digitally. They have done it on social networks, through veiled and not so veiled messages. The shadow of the rivalry between the two tycoons seems to be as long as his ego, the one that does not stop measuring themselves as high school boys. While the creator of Meta follows training hard in jiu-jitsu (He has already won some medals) The Tesla billionaire has been seen on the canvas (and on Twitter) crushing podcaster Lex Fridman with his “big move” in an ‘impromptu’ training session.
It all started a couple of weeks ago, how could it be otherwise, with a digital swagger: “Send me the location,” Zuckerberg replied to Musk when Musk challenged him to a mixed martial arts match. Since then, everything has been brabuconerías, affirmations and denials given the prospect that this fantasy scenario could become reality, in what many have already begun to call the “fight of the century”
At this point in the ‘movie’ we have already heard about secret conversations, from renowned trainers – UFC legend Georges St-Pierre proposed to train Twitter CEO and MMA fighter Jon Bones made himself available to Facebook founder – and even possible locations: the UFC Apex Arena, in Las Vegas, or the Roman Coliseum, something that the Italian government has quickly come out to deny. Until exist and hashtag, #MuskVsZuck, with all kinds of setups and speculation about what the duel in ‘the cage’ would be like.
A behavior in the ‘machosfera’ that, in reality, has little to do with the intrinsic principles of conventional martial arts: “A few years ago, both Unesco and the WHO declared the judo as the best sport to practice in children from four to ten years old, since it encourages values such as respect both to your superiors and to your rival/partner (at the start and end of training you must greet your trainer-teacher and at the start of a fight and at the end of it you must greet your opponent and you cannot get off the mat without doing so), camaraderie and tolerancerecalls the personal trainer Juan Ruiz López, a judo black belt who explains how this sport helps to channel energy and manage frustration.
What are MMAs?
Therefore, we have decided to focus on the positive aspects of this combat sport to discover how they can help you improve your physical and mental state.
We will begin to solve your doubts at the beginning: What are MMA? “Mixed Martial Arts (MMA, in English Mixed Martial Arts) are the combination of different fighting and combat techniques, such as boxing, judo and muay thai, among others”, describes the director of the JRL Personal Training Center. A fight that takes place inside a ring, known as a ‘cage’, usually in the shape of an octagon or circular, which lasts for three rounds of five minutes. “Except for hitting the genitals, attacking eyes or orifices and some other exceptions, the rest is allowed, thus being able to hit with fists, elbows or knees or use different techniques of strangulation or dislocation of joints. A combination of punches and grabs.”
