Best way

Herman

What is the best way to win a fight? I have just borrowed some videos from a mate of mine called "The Ultimate Fighting Challenge."

These guys are brilliant, and a little guy seems to beat everybody, merely by rugby tackling them down and then squeezing their arms or neck.

Where can I learn to do that?

Street? Walk away if you can. Too many legal problems otherwise.

Mat? Train for a lifetime.

The Ultimate Fighting Challenge is MMA.

You're probably referring to Royce Gracie, who was the early champion of those events. His main martial art was Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. If you do a google search for BJJ, Submission Wrestling, or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu you'll get a ton of information on that.

Nowadays, those who compete in UFC style events, train some element of striking (usually Muay Thai or Boxing), some takedown work - known as clinch, from Judo or Olympic Wrestling, and ground skills, from BJJ.

Most people will have a preference as to what they like. Some prefer striking, others takedown and control, others are all about the submission (which, as you put it, looks like squeezing an arm/neck)

When you get on the mat for the first time and experience these submissions, you'll understand the fights a lot more having first hand knowledge.

Enjoy,
