my bad, I didn't see any of this - haven't been back to this thread. There's a thread called striking vs grappling - I'll find it. 47mm, I think you posted in it as well. It was a thread saying that if you HAD to pick striking or grappling, which would it be and why. I picked grappling. I'll go dig it up.

I am new to this forum but I myself study TKD for striking, Hapkido for joint manipulation and throws along with some basic ground manuevers for the chance the fight might go to the ground. I have been in many street fights throughout my life and I disagree with the statement that 90% of fights end up on the ground . I think it is closer to half. I think you should be efficient in both striking and grappling in todays world. Most of the fights I have been in are not one on one anyway. People who try to fight you usually have a friend or 2 who is just waiting to get in a couple of shots. Its a sad world but one on one seems to be going be the wayside. No honor anymore in just going toe to toe with sombody and beating the crap out of them . I think striking and deflection techniques prepare you for more that one opponant better that BJJ or other grappling techniques. Face it , you dont want to be on the ground with one guy dislocating his shoulder while his friend steps on your face. But if you are sure and have back up then going to a grappling technique is always a good idea in a one on one situation. My best advise is to try to prepare for all situations . Do what you enjoy doing and forget all the bologna about which style is better . Its all situational anyway you know. I hope this helps.
