How can you be focusing on putting someone in a submission while his fellows are going to be stopping a mudhole in you? In combat my aim is to take you out with the least amount of effort on my part not for you to submitt to me verbally or physically. If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate position of going hand to hand with someone on todays battlefield forget all that you have learned in the that system. Hit them in the eye directly (finger jab is good for this)! HARD! Hit them in the throat! HARD! Strike them in the groan! HARD! and if the bastard is still standing find the biggest object and hit them with that.
