Its not about grappling or striking s what Im saying. Im proficient at both and excellent at one. I'm saying when you have the imminent threat of multiple assailants, I don't put myself on the ground. The better defense is striking in this particular instance. For me and my body, I favor balance and reaction time to grappling despite it being my stronger attribute. My hand speed is par for the course but im heavy handed as fukk and that gives me the comfort standup if Im getting jumped. More so than me putting nikkas on their back via wrestling despite being more skilled in wrestling. I play to my attributes but only if its in an advantageous atmosphere. A dayroom surrounded by multiple nikkas itching to sneak some shyt in cause they boy getting worked is not for me grappling. Everybody is different. You know your body better than I do so what works for you doesn't work for me. You may be more skilled in one aspect that allows you this comfort.That's what mma is for
