Just wondering..
for those of you that train in your arts for real self-defense ability, what role does striking play in your grappling?
Myself, I agree with Bruce Lee in saying that every phase of fighting must be addressed... SO I'm not a "Striking is the only way" kind of guy, but it is my speciality. I find grappling type maneuvers to be very useful and powerful when applied w/in the context of my striking art (American Kenpo) but I was currious about the other side.
thanks
