Best training:
MMA training is the best you can get, if something else worked better it would be in MMA. The disarm moves are probably the best you can get but they are all still very risky and some of the fatality stuff that haganah teaches looks far fetched to me.
Gracies:
The gracies are badass but if you plan to fight in mma with gracie training you may take a beating. They were all the best submission guys but most of them werent as good at stand up fighting, but there is a reason their family was undefeated for so long.

to fight a pro fighter you need to be as dangerous on your feet as you are on the ground. Against a normal person you're much better off getting them down and submitting them, as Royce proved. The new generation of Gracies are learning stand-up as well as their ground game though so you can expect new big things out of the Gracie Family in the next few years.
The thing about striking with someone is that anyone can beat you with any lucky punch. I don't care if you're Vanderleigh Silva. If you get in a bar fight with a powerful man with fast hands you might get KTFO, even if the guy's never trained a day in his life.
People don't really realize, I don't think, that anybody can be dangerous. If you're big and fast and really aggressive, you're a threat to anybody if they're willing to trade punches with you. Taking a man down greatly reduces the lucky shot likelihood.
