i think he means submission ground grappling
I guess I don't feel that's the case. Eagle Claw has great submissions. Sanda has top-notch stand-up grappling. So does shaio jiao.
I only feel like its (positioning for)submission work from the ground that isn't great.
Why would judo and sambo have such good ground submission work, since they are arguably some of the best in the world at maintaining the ability to stay on their feet?
And why do all systems that have verifiable evidence of their submissions working in skilled settings have the majority of their submissions on the ground?
I don't see how wrestling to throw someone on the ground automatically implies the development of submission wrestling.
For the sake of discussion, maybe it was felt that keeping it standing lends itself better to continuous action as opposed to watching someone like Big Country Roy face sitting someone for 18 minutes.
Also you guys keep using this phrase; I do not think it means what you think it means.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question
