STAND UP STRIKERS (TKD, KARATE, MUAY THAI, ETC.): Do you fear GRAPPLERS?
If you just study a fighting style that is just focused mostly on standup fighting like: Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, etc., does the idea of facing a skilled grappler in the street scare you?
Now, if you have some grappling knowledge with standup striking I understand it’s not that big of a problem.
But, for all of those who’s arts don’t practice much groundgrappling or none at all, does that bother you?
Does the 90% of all real fights go to the ground make you afraid of the ground? Or do you think your standup striking skills only will result in the grappler KO’d?
If they don’t….. they should… or probably have not encountered such a problem and have no idea what its like to be totally out of their element on the ground. Ignorance is bliss. Just watch the original ufc stuff and what happened to the guys that only knew stand-up.
If they are lucky, they could land some good hits, but most likely they will only do a little damage and end up on the ground.
