Why who thinks what way? Was there a specific person you're addressing?

Welcome to the forums by the way

If your fighting one on one without weapons, then strikes, floor grappling, submissions etc can all be used. However in todays society, you rarely fight one on one and if it happens, it wont be long untill his/her freind comes behind you and causes damage. For that reason i would not bother with trying to take the fight to the floor, trying for submissions etc. Strikes are number one. Hard strikes to areas used for knock out. (chin temple etc)

Having said that, some grappling knowledge is needed. Throws where you remain standing is helpfull. Clinch work and also knoweldge of how NOT to be taken down to the floor is vital. For this reason practising throws and defending from throws takedowns should be carried out.
