martial art 

Another way of saying that something isn't THAT difficult, keeping in mind that martial arts aren't that easy. Used in a simliar manner as rocket science (when used sarcastically.)

I asked my mom to scan my essay and email it to me, but she found it too complex. I tell her it isn't a martial art, so she hangs up on me and I got an F for that essay.

Martial art argument 

A martial art argument is a comparison that is always terrible, usually by comparing a higher quantity of lower quality to a lower quantity of a higher quality.

-"My cousin is a soldier and he shot fifty men in combat last year!"
="Enough with your martial art argument, John, his fifty kills were armed with rocks and sticks only"

Mixed Martial Arts 

A combat sport (colloquially known as "MMA") in which fighters incorporate several different types of martial arts (and often use a hybrid of such styles), including Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai, Judo, Wrestling, etc. One of the fastest growing sports in the world. Made very popular and brought into the mainstream largely due to UFC. UFC and MMA are the not the same thing; UFC is to MMA what the NFL is to football. Fights are organized by promotions, the largest of which today are the UFC and Bellator.

"Mixed martial arts fighters are incredible to watch."
"UFC is the most well-known organization to promote mixed martial arts fights."
" Morgan and I are watching the Brandon v Rivers mixed martial arts fight at the bar tonight. You in?"
"There is a mixed martial arts championship this weekend at Madison Square Garden - I can't wait!"

Backseat martial artist 

Someone who doesn't actually practice a martial art of any sort, but loves to comment on them like their an expert. Quite similar in concept to that of a backseat driver. They tend to obtain most of their martial knowledge from internet video clips, free TV airings of fights, and sometimes they might even spring for a pay-per view match. A common favorite move of the backseat martial artists to try and perform is the armbar, which they typically learn from watching old clips of Royce Gracie and not from an actual dojo.

Once only staunch supporters of BJJ, they have now decided to extend some of their divine credibility to that of Muay Thai.

Person: What kind of kung fu should I take?
Backseat Martial Artist: Take BJJ

BMA2: Grappling is the most effective form of fighting, therefore you should definitely try to use it against multiple opponents.

BMA3: That won't work in real life, trust me I know

BMA4: Well in a real fight............... *5 paragraphs of bad spelling later*.... and thats why you should take BJJ

Mixed Martial Arts 

A sport where many ppl who study different types are martial arts come together to fight to see who's better. You have stand-up work, which is the martial arts like Tae Kwon Do and Muai Thai, then you have ground work like wrestling, grappling, and Jiu-Jitsu. It's a painful and dangerous sport, but anyone who tries will learn respect and strength. Plus you'll be one BAAAD mother fucker. XD

Mixed Martial Arts fights are UFC style fights and things like that.

Martial Arts

1) The act of kicking ass.
2) Something everyone should fear.

1) I am experienced in the practice of martial arts, which is not good for anyone reading this example.
2) Again I practice martial arts.
