I’m not really sure if this is supposed to be a joke or not, but this website is full of articles like this. It looks like the warnings part was written by someone else. “This article will get you beaten very badly in a real fight.”
Laughing out loud!

How to Win a Grapple Easily
If you do end up having to defend yourself in a fight (or in a wrestling match), grappling is a good way of getting your opponent into a vulnerable position on the ground. Follow these steps and you'll have a better chance of coming out on top.
Steps
1. If the person is bigger than you, use a kind of rugby tackle to take him. Don't try to use headlocks or armlocks unless you are familiar with them. Aim to pull your opponent's legs away from him. If he doesn't have legs to stand on, he can't stand, can he?
2. Once you have your opponent on the ground (assuming you are on your feet), either run or kick him in the upper body and chest.
3. If you have fallen to the ground on top of the opponent, and you don't want to risk trying to get up, put your full body weight on your opponent's shoulders. This makes it harder for him to get to his feet. If you are on hard ground such as concrete or wood, hit his head back into it -- not too hard though, as there is a risk of death.

Tips
• If you are fighting more than one opponent, pick one and concentrate on him first, then pick another and so on.
• If you happen to find yourself on the ground during a fight, cover your head with your hands and kick out with your feet until you get an opportunity to get to your feet

Warnings
• Don't fight unless you have to.
• This article will get you beaten very badly in a real fight. If you place all of your weight on the opponent's shoulders, it will be easy for them to roll you over them because your weight is not equally distributed.
• Also note that trying to take a slightly experienced wrestler or grappler to the ground in the manner described by the author will result in them gaining control of the situation and putting you in a very vulnerable position.
• Taking a wrestler or grappler, with minimal experience, to the ground in a fight is probably the worst move you could attempt to make. If you're not more experienced than your opponent on the ground, don't attempt to take them there. For that matter, just walk away if possible.

the article represents the universe, with one half negating the other. When you understand this, you defeat your opponent before stepping onto the mat my young padawan learner.

Yes, they'll just stand around waiting for the rugby tackle. Speaking of which, how many rugby tackles allow you to stay on your feet?

Retarded. Get it out of my sight.

This revolutionary thinking has caused me to re-evaluate all these years of training. Clearly I need a tank. With spikes on it.
