Myth 7: A grappler will beat a striker.

Truth: Unless you are certain that your skill is far better than your enemy and that he has no friends ready to stomp you in the head when you go down, don’t make this assumption. Also, being bitten in the face or kneed in the balls takes the wind out your sails pretty quick. If you go to ground, you goal is to get up as soon as possible and not try to become a submission hunter (and this is coming from a guy who teaches JIU-JITSU). It’s usually the wrong mindset on the street.
