When Royce Gracie first burst onto the scene of no-holds-barred fighting,
his opponents were confused by his tactics. They were accustomed to standing
toe-to-toe and throwing punches and kicks. But Royce quickly brought them to
the ground where he could easily apply a choke, lock, or submission for a
victory.
Imagine being in a real-life situation and having the same advantage. The
ground fighting schools discussed in this article provide the practitioners
with the skills and abilities necessary to protect themselves. For men or
women, learning to take a fight to the ground and then dominate your opponent
there is definitely an advantageous pursuit. If you still have your doubts,
watch some of the professional fighters in no-holds-barred competitions and
you'll quickly change your mind. As for me, my money will be on the grappler.
