With all of grappling's detractors saying that you shouldn't go to the ground, I would like to give everyone a chance to state how they would use grappling in a standup situation.

 

What is your favorite STANDING grappling technique?

Arm-drag and convert to hammerlock.

 

Also, spinning the opponent around and applying a sleeper hold.

Have you ever heard of small circle jiu jitsu? I have had the painful pleasure of being locked up and tapping while on my feet and for the worst of it I was led around like a puppet so it works.

I had the distinct pleasure of training with Wally Jay a few years back.

 

Amazing.

most sweeps, particularly hiza guruma. that's odd because I don't have the typical sweeper's body type - I've got they body type for torque throws, like uchi mata and tai otoshi, which I also love to use.
