MattJ....Weak, man. While JKogas may have misquoted me and decided I meant things other than what I wrote, he at least stated some clear views and opened a dialogue.




Fair enough, Josh. I apologize for the tone of my post. As I have said before, "I don't mean to be an ass. It just works out that way."

I did make some valid points, intertwined with my abuse. Football players and wrestlers are common types of aggressors in the USA, and will very often try to ground the opponent. Even untrained attackers will try to do that, so whether they are "trained ground fighters" or not is really a moot point, because statistically speaking, you are very likely to end up there in a real altercation.

You can even check the "Consolidated Poll Thread" sticky to get an idea of the member's views and experiences here.

Wow, a moment of relative calm.

Hopefully, it's not simply the eye of the storm...

Hi

I cant see your logic. All aspects of fighting need to be trained. If an attacker is better than the defender with their fists so the defender takes the attacker to the ground
then who ever is more skilled on the ground should in most cases win?


Thus ground fighting like any part of fight training has equal importance.

Jude
