I think leaving yourself open for strikes from one person is not an efficient means of defense against two people. 10 seconds is a very long time to take unmitigated punishment. I also don't believe going to the ground is the safest thing to do in such a situation. You might be forced to the ground, in which case you'd better know some ground fighting, but purposely going there seems to be putting yourself at a distinct disadvantage until you can get the first guy choked out. |
Trust me, if the fight is on the ground I am at an advantage especially if the other guy has no concept of grappling. It's really not that difficult to completely control someone who doesn't know what they are doing.
Also, I didn't say I would leave myself open to strikes. What I said was that I would only leave my back open for strikes. If you want to punch me in the back of the head go ahead...I don't mind. I know how and what to cover up to protect against a KO. You might get in a couple shots but I'm still coming at you. When the fight is over I might be standing there with a black eye but I will be standing.
