it's a type of submission hold, sorta like a ankle/knee lock that puts alot of pressure on the opponents knees and lower back.
I would like some help with becoming a fighter.......

This essentially, and practice. I used to get into a good street brawl or two in high school. Having an alternate insane side helps alot too, speaking from experienceMatronadena said:

*Hurray for Thread Derailment!*
I do traditional, non sport Jujitsu, and kendo...grew up with Highland wrestling " not the sport, the unarmed fighting"
so for a MMA like setting I add, training on any series of styles, be they sport, and non-sport, as each will open you to a set of techniques, and teach you to watch for certain things that no one discipline will cover..

You obviously took what I said out of context.Beowulf DW said:
I stated quite plainly that a combination of Boxing and Judo has been extremely sucessful in UFC. As for an untrained opponent, who is drunk, beating a good boxer. Thats just hilarious.
Boxing has a lot of technique, some fighters choose to do what they want, but the technique is there. It is proven. It works. Boxing evolved from bare-fisted fighting, which funnily enough, started out much like UFC currently is. Boxing is the evolution of fighting to a specific form, and it is damned good at what its meant for.
Certain martial arts, such as some forms of Kung Fu, specifically Wing Chun and Sanda, have an extremely broad focus on techniques and it can take decades to learn them all. Boxing is fast to learn (but still difficult to master), has excellent cross over with most martial arts, and is good even as a stand alone fighting technique.
It is an excellent form of fighting for a beginner to start with.
You can be succesful with any kind of fighting style.
The only difference between martial arts and street brawling is that people have spent time perfecting the techniques of the former. (someone's going to complain about this)
The key is to make sure you are really up for it and will spend time on whatever you choose outside of lessons.

iv only ever done karate or something (im not sure what i shoukd call it i dont remember too well i did it in grade 4) for one year and have since forgoten what i leant but i somewhat trained myself to not block punches and kicks but push them to the side or step back and let whoever im fighting fall out of balance. some fights iv won by just letting the guy throw a punch pushing it aside and pushing him over.
all you need for this is confidence really all the upper body strength i have is from flying a 4M power kite and all the lower body strength from my natural sprinting ability (which is also good if your loosing).

This. Originally I trained with various people, initially a blue belt, and he was both knowledgeable and talented, whipped my arse all the time, every time, no exceptions, when I started to train with a purple belt he was even better again, that's a given seeing he's a higher grade, but originally I did Tae Kwon Do, as a yellow belt I could beat most people in he class up to and including the black belts, so take that as you will, I wasn't naturally talented, but most of them just weren't that good. Anyway, back to BJJ, do it, do it, do it!Heraklitus said:
Eh, it depends. In many cases, cross training can make it more difficult (especially in the early stages of training). Mixed Martial Arts works as a purely physical exercise, but lacks some of the fundamental components of actual in depth training in one style (which is why most MMA fighters train to expertise in one style before branching out).Samurai Goomba said:
Some of the question is what you're looking for. Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu (or Taijutsu) is fantastic for grappling, but not as good at non-grappling combat. If you're expecting to be fighting in an enclosed area, without the ability to gain footing or distance, BJJ or Taijutsu (or Aikido) would be good options. If you have the opportunity for footing and distance, Kenpo, and Shotokan Karate are both preferable.
Obviously, most styles will teach you some measure of fighting at all ranges, but different styles have different focuses. Krav Maga, for instance, is a much more pre-emptive style, and works best if you can attack quickly and ferociously. Muay Thai is a brutal style, but is more suited to a quick bring-down than a prolonged fight (especially against a well-trained opponent).
Screw that- weapons training is your friend. In all honesty though, I would study jujitsu, taekwondo, and fencing. That way you have offensive maneuvers, counters, and weapons training. I've taken advanced fencing classes and have had some informal jujitsu lessons, but ultimately, while this may sound cheesy, the main goal of martial arts is knowing how to avoid a fight. Learn how to talk to people, as that can often be more lethal than anything else. If becoming a physical fighter fails though, you can always use your FUCK YOU button and take up firearms =P.
EDIT- I also find boxing and kickboxing to be incredibly effective for the strong, brutal type, especially if you're good at dodging, blocking, or taking a hit.
