Keith may be onto something here.



I train in Brazilian JuiJitzu (BJJ)and with the recent UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championships-aka MMA Mised MArtial arts competions) it has been proven fighters are most effective ending the fight with some kind of submission (choke, armbar, leglock ect)this style of fighting has beaten any other style irregardless of size or human strength.



Example:

An eastern king will not "stand up and trade" striking with Indigo (Indigo = a boxer or striker/ Eastern = submission expert). The eastern king will go for the hold and then submission choke (wrapping around the Indigo...and they are the best at it) and THAT has been proven to be the king dog of the fight world.



No matter what size or strength you are submission fighting is the best method to END a fight and not size and striking like some Jet Lee-Steven Segal taikwondoodoo guys will like you to believe. I won't matter how well the Indigo chews and crushes the eastern, the eastern will not "give up" nor let go of the submission choke that it has to end the fight.

Bottom line is if you can't fight on the ground (eastern king style) you will lose if fighting someone who has a backround in submissions.



Of course the Indigo always has the "punchers chance" but if you are a betting man , the odds on favorite is the eastern king every time. The Eastern King is top dog in the no-holds barred fighting world. Uh-Huh!



Now in the professional wrestling world the Indigo might be the show off Hulk Hogan or some other poster boy. Real fighters are not big and mean looking. They are technical and experienced, medium sized, have endurance and determination......example... the Eastern king!
