Again I guess it is hard to test this theory unless you used it for real, but unless you are trying to seriously injury the guy.It’s hard to test this theory out.
Iron hand forging doesn't do anything for fighting ability.
It only conditions that hand for impact.
The only way it can be effective VS a trained grappler is by training to deal with a trained grappler.
If a fighter can, due to proper training, hit a grappler then his/her blows will be all the more effective with proper hand conditioning BUT if they can't hit a grappler PROPERLY then all the hand conditioning in the world will make no difference.
Of course this applies to anyone, not just a grappler.

He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
