Yes, I totally agree. NFL linebackers are also practising takedowns at high speed. I mean it's more or less a type of grappling. It's just they do not practice what happens after a takedown.

I would still prefer that over getting smashed by technique. Technique is often more stifling than raw strength. You can make raw strength make mistakes and abuse those mistakes, you are always at a disadvantage but you can do some things. If you face superior technique and lack superior strength etc you'll have nothing and the one making mistakes being abused will be you.

I mean it was whichever I would prefer fighting not who would win a fight. I feel beating me out in terms of technique is scarier for me over beating me out in terms of strength.
