Dude you are not understanding my point, I was just clarifying. You can call most MA styles MMA by your definition but a combined style is not really a MMA . My point is that term really came about in the early UFC and it specifically is focused on those combat ring sport-particulary with foundations of BJJ.

Due the term Jerk has been around for many decades before both of us were born
