i used the cross face alot in wrestling, basically your punching them in the nose without punching them. i remember getting crossfaced so hard that my face was covered in blood, and basically ruined the straight line my nose use to be in. i also could have done without the cualiyflower ear as well, my ear now looks retarted, but without that kind of training, your basically a pussy. for something like the bjj stuff i would think it to be all right if you put your wrist on the side of there face. just having it there will become habit. now it probably wouldnt be a good idea to actually do it because someone would complain like a little bitch. and thats where you need to find someone to practice with that isnt such a girl about it. and thats the problem with martial arts training no one gets punched in the face or really hurt by punching or kicking, its always joint locks. and if its something like tkd you always have protective gear on. if you cant take a punch and your in a fight your going to go down. and not even your tap out moves will work because when someones punching you in the nose your gonna feel it.
