In this no-holds barred, tell-all account, Headmaster and Martial Arts Hall of Famer, Dr. Joshua WestMiller tells of his days as the first American to be invited to compete in the elite and underground Kumite. Westmiller is the original competitor to first coin the term Mixed Martial Arts and fight under the MMA title, and is also the founding Headmaster of United States No Holds Barred. He first began fighting Kumite at Master Hidetaka Nishiyama's suggestion in 1962, and retired in 1964 with an astounding record of 27 wins and zero losses. Ten years later, Frank Dux would establish his Martial Arts "Flying Horse" name by fighting in this same no-holds barred Kumite world. As Frank Dux related in an interview with Martial Arts Illustrated, the early days of MMA in the US were filled with real, full-contact, no-holds-barred fighters who didn't hide behind styles, but were willing to fight anyone, anywhere. Because of the underground nature of such competitions, Dux said, few were filmed and many fighters competed under pseudonyms, like "a fighter known only by his handle 'Cherokee' whose real identity is Joshua WestMiller, Hidetaka Nishiyama's student."

Ethical Probe on Mixed Martial Arts Enthusiasts in the USA is an ethicist’s account of the development of mixed martial arts (MMA) as it relates to its prophets and proselytizers, i.e., enthusiasts, who serve as testament to the sport’s corrupt disposition. Profiles on six enthusiasts reveal bizarre—and in some cases nefarious—activities that extend from proto-MMA fads such as the ninja craze of the 1980s.

Mixed martial arts (MMA)—unarmed fighting games permitting techniques derived from a variety of martial arts and combat sports— has exploded from the fringes of sport into a worldwide phenomenon, a sport as controversial as it is compelling. This is the first book to pay MMA the serious philosophical attention it deserves. With contributions from leading international scholars of the philosophy of sport and martial arts, the book explores topics such as whether MMA qualifies as a martial art, the differences between MMA and the traditional martial arts, the aesthetic dimensions of MMA, the limits of consent and choice in MMA and whether MMA can promote moral virtues. It also explores cutting-edge practical and ethical topics, including the role of gender in MMA, and the question of whether trans athletes should be allowed to compete in the women’s divisions. The contributors to this anthology take down, ground and pound, and submit many essential questions about this fascinating recent development in the culture of sport and spectacle. This is important reading for anybody with an interest in combat sports, martial arts, or the philosophy, sociology, culture or history of sport.

The Best Kept Secret in MMAWhat do an NFL star, a United States Secret Service Agent, Sylvester Stallone's bodyguard, and Muhammad Ali's sparring partner all have in common? They were all characters cast in America's original "anything goes" reality fighting drama, an "open call" that led to the birth of a new sport--MMA. Long before the Octagon was in vogue or Royce Gracie made his pay-per-view debut; decades before the UFC became a household brand and while the likes of Dana White were still in elementary school; two martial artists, Bill Viola and Frank Caliguri, set out to prove once and for all who the world's greatest fighter was by creating a radical new "sport" in 1979.Godfathers of MMA reveals the clandestine plot to subvert the "first" mixed martial arts revolution in American history, one poised to challenge boxing as the king of combat sports. Confounded by corruption, a massive struggle ensued over money, power, and respect between boxing's gentry and an upstart MMA company (CV Productions) from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The legendary story, buried by rhetoric for years, casts a wide net reeling in everyone from politicians to mobsters, all with ulterior motives; all with eyes on a billion dollar blueprint. From boxing's "Holy Territory," the home of Rocky Balboa, to a bizarre connection with the Supreme Court that lead to the first legal precedent for MMA--ever, this is the ultimate inside look. Godfathers of MMA is a testosterone-laced whirlwind tale of "what might have been" told by the trailblazers who fought for it. Relive the epic adventure of the "Tough Guys" later known as Super Fighters (the first mixed martial arts league in history). Thirty years before the UFC gained a mainstream audience; the media embraced mixed martial arts: KDKA-TV dubbed CV's new sport, "Organized, Legalized, Street fighting," while the Philadelphia Journal proclaimed, "No holds barred as Superfighters take over." Take a journey back in time to the "Iron City" and meet the fighters, the foes, and the visionaries who created the modern sport of MMA.
