You'd get stomped. Not only that, but if you did take him down and he turned out to be a skilled grappler also, then what if he mounts you and pounds you? Going to the ground locks the fight; there's no chance of escape, finding a weapon, something like that that may even the fight up. When you go to the ground, you stay until the job's done. If the fight turns bad for you on the ground, you will be killed. That's why I prefer striking for realism; fights can still go bad for you when standing, but you've still got other options to even it up, such as running, or maybe you could find a decent weapon you didn't see before or something.

I am currently practicing Wing Chun(from your videos) and I was thinking about taking Aikido because my friend's going to train in that and he wanted someone to train with him. I just wanted to ask you what your thoughts were on Aikido? Hey Jin,
