In a real fight I think I would go to the ground with someone if I thought I could get dominant position right away. I don't fight well standing.

Another student in my BJJ class teaches JKD concepts and he told me that when they spar, they wear motorcycle helmets and boxing gloves so they can go full force. I've been thinking a lot about doing that with a grappling buddy of mine. Striking to the head only, no kicking, and submissions if possible (I'm not sure if you could do a sleeper hold with someone wearing a helmet). I think it would be a lot of fun to do and would allow me to experience what a real fight would be like on the ground to some extent.
