Ground fighting has become very popular based on Mixed-Martial Arts
competitions such as the UFC and other such events. The problem with this
is that the rules and safety of the environment in the ring create a false idea
of what is effective in a
"Real World" violent encounter.

The problem with purposely going to the ground with the opponent in a
REAL encounter is that you can only account for one opponent while on the
ground. And there is no guarantee that you will not be attacked by one of
your opponents friends.

The following demonstrates some of the
DANGERS of this strategy.
Ground & Pound is great strategy,  except for the GROUND part!
In a REAL fight, the
ground can often have
weapons of opportunity
that the opponent can use
against you!

Like the beer bottle in the
sequence pictured here!


This kind of arm
bar works great
in the ring
But could get
you
KILLED in
a Real Fight
The Ground is the LAST place you want to
purposely go in a
REAL fight!
