/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif No this isn't a flame, but I hope it got you here. Actually I would like to ask the people in this forum a question. I have mentioned this in the past at Mousels and got some good responses, and wanted to see what the general feelings here would be as well.
I mentioned before that I am mostly a grappler, but I have studied some wing chun, some boxing, and some JKD. I have been somewhat training some wing chun principles into my grappling. I would like your opinions.
What do you think of incorporating basic trapping into a grappling system? Personally, I feel that pinning a man's arms to his chest and getting off quick elbow strikes, headbutts, etc is very effective, and easier to do if he is floored. From a side pin, a lot of the material seems to work well. If he is escaping, than you can stop all together, and switch to some wrestling breakdowns, and positional control and movement. Then continue with the assault. Just little things I've been sparring with, etc.
Hope to hear what you guys think. And no, this is not a troll thread of any kind /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
I somewhat feel that during an actual fight situation (weapons and friends not included hopefully..even though you can't always hope for that) that a hard takedown, a side position, pin, and a lot of elbows, knees, and headbutts can actually terminate the fight; also allowing you to stay on top, and flee if need be.
Any thoughts?
thanks again.
