    So what happens if I throw the guy onto concrete and land on top of him? Do I still get my ribs kicked in?

    or what happens when you go down and realize multiple people are out to kick the snot out of you, BUT you're the one who has a hidden knife....can you get it into play?

    And what if you go to the ground, but then stand back up? Do you still get kicked in the head?

    Ok, this really needs said: Not all grappling is wrestling. MP isn't a wrestler, so his grappling isn't wrestling. And yes, you can to workan arm bar with someone wailing on your kidneys if your pain thresh hold is adiquate.

    Also, he wasn't facing more than one person, so all this "taking it to the ground with multiple attacers" advise is completly out of context. And wrong. You use experience and situational awarness to govern if you take it to the grownd, not the number of people you are fighting.

    Or if you fall out of a boxing ring and Apowyn makes like Jimmy Snuka and nails you with a "Superfly" splash?

    Every senario I know with multiple attacker ends up on the ground if it lasts any time at all, so being able to fight your way free from there under those conditions is helpful. Not saying it would be pretty or even clean, but if it gets you out of a kicking cometition where you are the hacky sak....

    The BEST approach is to run away... and get your payback individually when they are alone. One at a time. With a baseball bat. Patience is key.

    Becca,

    Actually, I wrestled in high school and part of college.

    Rogue, if you fall out of the boxing ring you get to hear about it for YEARS.

    Is that your main style now? If not, I wouldn't call you a wrestler. I'd call you a grappler with an early wrestling backround. Splitting hairs, I know....

    As far as I know he MP only fell out of a ring once so I wouldn't think it's his main style but more of a tactic.

    What I often find perplexing is the extent to which people who claim to be traditional martial artists disregard grappling. A lot of the forms I've studied are at least 50% grappling when broken down into applications. Traditional martial arts accepted the importence of grappling and tended to advise heavy drilling in grappling applications.

    I think my point is this: some people are trying to morph this into a BJJ vs TCMA thread. I think that is essentially spurious and question the validity of the whole BJJ vs TMA discussion at the outset.
