Grappling tantrums

or use the weakness to trap your opponent in a position that you want them to be in. Its much easier if the other person puts themself into position rather than you having to move them into it.

Sorry if I seemed very biased against striking because I like striking as well. I get a bit annoyed when watching things boxing, muay thai and the like where the guys just wail on each other till one falls over from exhaustion.

I think everything has a time and place to be used and we should learn everything then use what we like. For while not using the things we don't like we still understand them and can have a better reaction to techniques that we are familiar with rather than the "oh ****e I didn't even think of doing that" scenario.

Still don't know why kickboxers were gloves and no elbow/shin/foot pads. Oh well.
