    I took part a few years ago but didn't make the cut. Tiger went on to win it.

    I think this would be a different interpretation of the term MMA to the one commonly used around these parts.

    This is mma

    Well they're the two aspects of martial arts that couldn't be more different. You can say everything is good if it's what you're looking for. Forms and Kata have nothing to do with "real fighting" just as MMA has everything to do with real fighting.
