Inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence, we show that any G/H symmetrybreaking pattern can be described by a simple two-site moose diagram. Thisconstruction trivially reproduces the CCWZ prescription in the context ofHidden Local Symmetry. We interpret this moose in a novel way to show that manylittle Higgs theories can emerge from ordinary chiral symmetry breaking inscaled-up QCD. We apply this reasoning to the simple group little Higgs to seethat the same low energy degrees of freedom can arise from a variety of UVcomplete theories. We also show how models of holographic composite Higgsbosons can turn into brane-localized little technicolor theories by"integrating in" the IR brane.Comment: 26 pages, 2 figures; v2: references added; v3: added section on vacuum alignment to match JHEP versio
