I wholeheartedly agree with you; it is always necessary to prepare for the worst. I didn't mean to imply that a ground fighter would just curl up into fetal position and weep for forgiveness if you used strikes on him. The point I was trying to make is that you should use your own strengths rather than playing your opponent's game. Striking is effective against any opponent; in my experience, it just tends to frustrate groundfighters more because they can't get close enough to take you down. In an actual altercation, I would not assume that my opponent was only a grappler and didn't know how to strike. But I sure as hell wouldn't stay on the ground to find out.

THe attacker may not be standing.

Aren't we the genius?

The point is not about which art vs another art. It is about how grapplers fight.

She posted about using kicks to defend a standing attacker. But that is not the only scenario in ground fighting. The video is for that reference. That site is biased in favour of MMA, but that is not my point.

Was that really necessary?

I am truly pleased that people are beginning to understand that. Do not think for a second, I am not saying that you are, that all grapplers are ground fighters.

You are correct, that is not the only scenario. What is your point? Politely, please.
