Well, I;m 41, and when I was 10 and I would fight with my friends (pre-Internet boredom resulted in excessive pre-teen violence). My friends claimed they new karate, kung-fu, ninjitsu, and pro-wrestling (this was also a time when we thought pro-wrestling was real). So we would engage in our own mixed martial arts brawls that looked eerily similar to modern MMA bouts; A few punches, maybe a kick, then 10 minutes of two people rolling around on the ground together.

Time is a funny thing. There is always too much of it, except when you need it the most. Then there is never enough.

It was, which is why I said, "kind of". Pancrase was the first MMA company
