You also said that the grappler can also just attack the eys groin etc. But I would say that many of them have not trained that way, unlike the kung fu fighters that train that way. Also there is a great amount of technique
involved when we talk of attacking these areas. It is not just some simple thing a kid can do.You are oversimplifying things.

It's kinda hypocritical since you're oversimplifying grappling.
And as far as your story about where a "large boxer/kickboxer with grappling experience" attacked you, I call BS. I took the liberty of quoting if from one of your posts from Jubaji's links.

I have had people attack me for no reason of soundness. The man that I was speaking of, the large strong fighter, was in a gym hitting a punching bag. I went into the gym and hit another bag. But when I hit the bag I use Kung fu type of movements. He was watching e and came over in somewhat probing attitude to find out what I was doing. When I mentioned Kung Fu and a few other things about what I was doing he seemd to get in a "Oh yea, lets see what you will do if I ..." attitude. he attacked me suddenly without any provacation on my part. And he kept on trying. I know it can be hard for some men when they have put years of training in the fighting and they see that alot of their training wa not so good. I could see the frustration on his face. I do not like to fight, but as the thorn protects the rose from those who would steal its petals, I had no choice here. I was very careful not to seriously hurt him. But again, I was not in a real survival situation. This man had to face reality of his fighting style. It is never easy to have all your ideas changed.

I'm currently in college and I probably see hundreds of douchebags every week but not one of them would do something like that; nobody randomly attacks you like that in a gym.
Lastly, just because they're hitting the punching bag doesn't make them a boxer/kickboxer, just as not everyone who gets into a random stance they make up does kung fu, taichi, etc. Also, if at any time someone tries to grab someone into a clinch for whatever reason (them getting hit, trying to bully someone, etc) does not make them a grappler.
