do you prefer to strike or grapple

this is by no means or any idea a which is better question. I want to know what most people prefer to do.

 

*punches the poll*

 

I'm training in striking, but to be honest, I've a feeling I'm more natural at grappling.

 

yeah i agree with bell toller.
i pick up grappling more easily but i think its just the intro to sparring happened straight away.

But the two are essential to each other.

you missed one category - weapons.

 

These days I'm happy with whatever I manage to get.
And that applies to so many areas of my life it's not even funny.

 

LOL...in the doghouse again, aye?

 

As old_kyo is wont to say "quoted for truth"

 

Don't get me started.

 

Been in there so many times, I've fleas.

 

*fist bump brother*

 

Yea! *high-fives*

 

true both are essential thats not even up for discussion.

Its just if you could only train one and not the other which one would you enjoy the most?

 

grappling.

and weapons.

 

+1 for grappling from an enjoyment perspective, although I have more faith in my striking. Which is weird as my grappling is probably better than my striking (read: horribly average).

 

I prefer to do the opposite of what my opponent is trying to do!

 

Fun: Grappling. I think it's is more fun and a great resistance exercise.
Street: both... position before submission OR strike

 

Striking. Because it can be done from farther away.

 

No offense intended, but I think if your close enough to make physical contact via striking, your close enough to make contact via grappling.

 

I'd dispute that. I'm like 99.999999% sure I can kick someone's knee from farther than they can grab me unless they're like 7 feet tall.
