Defense against grapplers

[Dobbersky]

I can't find any fault with what Alex and Ueshirokarate both have pointed out; both have solid points.

Preference I suppose.

AGREED!

I feel its à topic dear to all Karateka's hearts we just need to watch the first lot of UFC matches to see that Karateka had no idea what grappling was all about.

The only thing I want to add here is this; I just think you need to play within the rules of your system. If those who are above you have no problem with you bringing in outside techniques, the by all means do so. If those above you want to only teach the official curriculum than you should respect that. If it is you or your own school/system then do as you wish IMHO.
