That may be too much to ask from those who is against the concept of "cross training".

For those who came from a grappling background and doesn't want to get hit on the head, a simple "hand grab on the neck" game can be played just as a punch to the head.

As long as we can encourage the concept of cross training and remove the "fear" from people's mind, that will be a nice initial step. After all, a throw to the ground or a punch to the head does hurt.
