Disclaimer: This page is an unofficial Hillcrest interest group page for Ultimate Fight Championship-style information.  While we train primarily for personal growth and self-defense, it is still interesting to see the Jujitsu in action.  The following clips are focused on the skillful application of techinque, and not just on bashing other people. 
You may need to a right-click and "save-as" because I was having some issues with loading these in the browser.  You may get a 404 error if you just click on it, but the right-click download does work (strange).  "save-as" will save locally, which is better anyway for replay.

Royce Gracie vs. Akebono (from www.RoyceGracie.tv) - Windows Media file.  2mins 37 seconds (~4 meg). This has a freak-show quality because the sumo guy is so much larger than Royce, but Royce beats him with technique - even from the guard, which seems impossible against somebody that outweighs him by like 300 pounds.

These clips were all downloaded from
www.sherdog.com.  Some are from no-holds-barred events, and some are "pure" grappling.  These are ~15 secs apiece (~1 meg).

Shamrock v. RuttenGreat knee-bar.

Gracie v. Taktarov - A great example of "it's not over 'till it's over"

Rickson Gracie v. Yamamoto - Another great example of "it's not over..."

Gracie v. Muraoko - Nice takedown, and an example of why you never turn your back on your opponent.

Gracie v. Mihoubi - Great arm-bar.

Shamrock v. Papadopolous - Great ankle-lock.

Arona v. Machado - An example of what happens when you lose your balance.

Trigg v. Machado - What happens when shooting the legs goes very badly...

Ruas v. Smith - Great ankle-lock

Machado v. Patino - Another great ankle lock

Severn v. Goss - Watch how the guy rolls from the guard to the top, and how his opponent again makes the mistake of turning his back.

F. Shamrock v. Enoue - Ouch!  Knees hurt... (marred by bad sportsmanship from the corner after the fight was over)

Severn v. Murphy - Bad camera angle, but I think this is a keylock on the arm.
