![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | In a combat sports environment I completely agree. The grappler will overcome the boxer 8 or 9 times out of ten, gi or no gi, its been proven over and over. In a street situation my experience is the exact opposite. It starts and ends in conversation range, and punching is king. Just in my personal experience. |
