Cool sparring video i found.

Striker vs High Lvl BJJ Black Belt:

So it is kind of striker vs grappler. But both guys can do both.

Otherwise this is what we would pretty much call shootboxing. And is a great example of the concepts you can explore with boxing gloves.

And he breaks the whole session down really well and so is a good very easy to understand example of what people are trying to do in MMA.

Now for all those want self defence. These principles and concepts reflect kind of what people should be doing. The focus on standing back up. Trying to anti grapple and so on. Against the focus on putting someone down and placing positional advantage.

So it is both games being executed.

Yeah, the video title is kinda clickbait. Your description above is much better.

I think this video does a good job at showing why you shouldn't just be a one dimensional fighter (only grappling or only striking and never experiencing the other).

I thought this was going to be original, but it's just good ol' clackledockling.

The grappling in this is a clear result of the near perfect fusion of wrestling and BJJ in modern day submission grappling. It really is incredible how much this has developed in the last 20 years.

The lesson to take from this is that the narrator only survived because he is also a high level grappler who knows what's coming at him. If he had little to no knowledge of grappling, he'd have been easily submitted multiple times.
