Ok, sorry I had to post a second time here but I just read my previous post (the two up from this one) and realized that I did sound like that. Man I guess I have taken to many punches to the head....hmmm and I thought they weren't affecting me...
anyway what I meant by the stand up comment was that when you are sparring a guy using punches and kicks you do not have to worry as much about egos and things because you do not have to worry about tapping out from a submission. Instead if you are not as good at the striking game you can always move around or wrap your opponent up. You do not have to worry about hurting the guy with a submission because of his refusal to tap...(if this ever happens pass the lock and move on) you can stick and move.
