What is MMA?

MMA most commonly refers to Mixed Martial Arts, a full-contact combat sport that combines techniques from various traditional martial arts and combat sports. It involves striking, grappling, and ground fighting, allowing competitors to use a wide range of moves, including punches, kicks, submissions, and takedowns. Other possible meanings include the Mobile Marketing Association, an organization for mobile marketing.

What other technologies are related to MMA?

MMA Competitor Technologies

TIG

TIG (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) is a welding process that, like MMA (Shielded Metal Arc Welding or Stick welding), is used to join metals, but uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. It offers greater control and is often used for higher-quality welds on thinner materials, making it a direct competitor, especially in applications requiring precise and clean welds.

MIG

MIG (Gas Metal Arc Welding) is a welding process that, like MMA, is used to join metals. MIG uses a continuously fed wire electrode, offering faster welding speeds compared to MMA. While MMA is known for its versatility in outdoor and dirty environments, MIG is often preferred for its speed and ease of use in controlled settings, making them direct competitors in various applications.

MIG/MAG

MIG/MAG (Gas Metal Arc Welding/Metal Active Gas Welding) is a variant of MIG welding. It uses different shielding gases (inert for MIG, active for MAG), but the core process of using a continuously fed wire electrode to create the weld remains the same. Thus, it also competes with MMA for similar welding applications, offering faster welding speeds but potentially less portability.

MAG

MAG (Metal Active Gas Welding) is a specific type of MIG welding that uses an active shielding gas. It shares the same principle of using a continuously fed wire electrode for welding and thus competes with MMA in various applications where speed and ease of use are prioritized over portability and the ability to weld in dirty conditions.

FCAW

FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding) is a welding process that uses a tubular electrode filled with flux. Like MMA, FCAW can be suitable for outdoor use and is often used on thicker materials. However, FCAW is typically faster than MMA. Because of this FCAW is a competitor technology to MMA.
