Today's NHB tournaments are like dueling: Only 2 opponents, time limits, months of preparation and training, and you can tap out before you get knocked out or submitted.

I still like to train grappling because it's good to be a well-rounded fighter who knows what to do in different situations.

Maybe you're in a situation where exchanging blows isn't viable (Teacher vs. violent student, police officer vs. suspect) so containing someone on the ground is a better option.

I don't see myself facing off against someone like Ken Shamrock on the street though.

"If he has mounted your chest and is choking you, drive your thumbs up into his eyes, then grab the back of his head and his chin and crank his neck around in a hard twist to take him off your body. "

- i don't think you could reach his eyes w/ your fingers unless he was bent over - in which case the 'buck & roll' would seem a better option - you land in perfect position for a leg-lock, or, you can dis-engage and run away.
