Generally speaking, the victor in a fight will be the fighter who:

• Makes best use of his own physical capabilities

• Prevents the opponent from utilizing his own advantages

• Takes into account any environmental factors

The first two are self-explanatory—fight better than the other guy and don’t let him do what he wants to if you can avoid it. The third is a little more subtle. Environmental factors can include things like showing the judges what they need to see in order to award you victory, making use of the limited space in a ring or fighting area as well as various “street” factors. These include the presence of your friends, the opponent’s friends and any bystanders who might become involved plus traffic, curbs, broken glass, and anything else that might influence the course of a fight.

Dojo, cage, ring, or street; the same basic principles apply to effective fighting. If you can break the opponent’s posture and/or control his head, his options are severely limited.

Any grappling situation will be chracterized by move and counter-move, with the position of the fighters dictating what options are available. Pulling the head down will get someone under control, the response is grabbing the leg and trying to overbalance the opponent.
