And then once taken down, you need to know how to get back to your feet without being beaten to death.
I occasionally watch the UFC fights and for the most part, even though these guys are steroidal looking and pretty tough, I have yet to see any of them that are really skilled past just being strong. They have to fight for any submission hold and quite often lose it. They tend to force by strength rather than roll into it by skill. Just watch and take notes. You will see. There are exceptions, and of these you will see them winning time and again.
Have you ever wrestled any one before. I know I have. An let me tell you...I hate ground fighting...never been good at it. Usually the bigger stronger guy wins. Because part of Skill is strength...Skill comes in the following areas: Accuracy and Percision,Strength and Power, Speed and Agility, Endurance and Stamina. The one who has mastered the following in addition to muscle memory and proper execution of techniques will win due to superior conditioning. If the Steroid guy is stronger. What makes you think some secret skill will allow you to defeat him at wrestling...Same with arm wrestling...its the stronger opponent who wins...True there is technique in BJJ, Judo, Akikido, and Jiujitsu. But the Faster, stronger guy is the one who will be victorious. Experience can sometime allow you defeat a stronger guy. But if you are equally skilled in knowledge and experience the guy who is stronger or faster will win nine time out of ten!
