Where are you on the striker/grappler scale?

[Mc. Steve]

I'm purely a striker, but I'de really like to learn grappling. I'm pretty sure if I got in a fight it would end with me on the floor getting pummeled pretty quickly. Not sure I have enough strength for it though.

Mc.Steve said pretty much what I was going to.

 

Im a striker but I could really use more grappling skills. Some large people out there can take a kick or a punch and then toss me around like a rag doll.

Think maybe limmited rules competition is having an effect on the martial arts? Personally, I think the trend to more diversity is a good thing.

i'm not sure where i stand on that list.

 

i punch and i kick.

 

i have been taught when i can apply locks and manipulations during an encounter.

 

i can take you to the ground, keeping you close and controlled or i can 'throw/trip' you away from me.

 

i guess if i were to look at the thing that i train the most, i have to say that the striking aspect is the main thing i do.

 

the one thing i am defnitely not, is a ground fighter.

I'm mostly a striker with grappling mixed in. I'd like to learn more grappling (maybe BJJ one day!) as I think it's important to learn striking AND grappling. A streetfight won't just be one or the other.
