Most martial artists will tell you that the best upclose combat is straight out wrestling. Once a good wrestler gets you down to the ground, your fucked, and most good wrestlers wont have a problem getting you on the floor. (Not that highschool wrestling bullshit, but wrestling more indepth with actual martial arts)
I guess in a way, im agreeing with you. Which brings me to an argument-type question. Borric knew how to fight, and you were itchin for one. But you declined it. I dont need an answer. Ive heard em all. You hate the town he wanted to fight in. You dont like that pussy ring bullshit, etc. ;[
