Does anyone know what this means:

                   "敬力勇忍"

I tried running "敬力" and "勇忍" separately through jisho.org but I
got no results.

I'm guessing it just means 4 concepts strung together:  Respect, Power,
Bravery, Endurance,
but not sure yet.

Thanks!

Where did you find that?
I think such a phrase does not exist in Japanese.
That may be a kind of tatoo design or something like that made by
American people arbitrarily.
In American movies,I sometimes found such a word that is not clear in
meaning.

It could easily be one of those four-letter compounds out of Chinese.
Japanese borrowed a lot of them, but not all of them.
Try the Chinese newsgroup and they may know it.

The only MMA that I know of "Mixed Martial Arts", the brand typically
associated with brazilian jiujitsu.

I am confident you are on the right track, but the meaning more likely
approximates to

Etiquette, effort, courage, perseverance

That sort of list of virtues emphasized by a particular school or style
of martial arts is not uncommon.

Shonan-ryu Karate-Dou briefly had an outpost at Oklahoma State University
in the mid-1960s.  Their corresponding list (in English) was

Honesty, sincerity, effort, etiquette, self-control

Cheers!
