not going to lie, i love these collab videos with mike and seth.
so my thoughts.
if you go to school/gym/dojo/whatever where you have a coach for striking (or two) and a coach for grappling (or two) then MMA doesn't count as it's own style.
however if you have a head instructor teaching you MMA with a distinct and individual flair and they're teaching the striking and grappling it's a style (even if they have assistant instructors)
honestly i think MMA as a style would end up looking a lot like the karate or then known just as Te of okinawa in the 1890s.
