I'd say the advantages extend to training an art who *also* teaches grappling anyway, in a realistic perspective of what you may happen to need to protect yourself, such as happens with Okinawan karate. Of course it depends a great deal on where and who you train with.


By the way, it's a pity the person didn't mention what specific techniques they made use of.

If you scroll down in the comments, he gives more details of what he was doing technically.
True, I hadn't noticed that. Very fine description of his usage by the way. While he says it wasn't a glamorous use, I think he actually did well by using his fundamentals - what probably contributed to avoid injuries to his receiver.

I train with a few nurses, coppers and security guards. I reckon the nurses get most the action, good to hear the accounts of people using their training.

I think there are advantages to training any art. While I've been lucky enough never to have attempted showering a resisting man, there's a whole lot of folks I know who've used aspects of their Martial training to control everything from freaked out junkies to hurt animals.

I think what helps the most is you get familiar with motion, force.....and the risk of surprise. That and a little luck can go a long way.
