Good points there. I've seen boxers take out martial artists with one jab. It's how cool you keep your head during combat. I've knocked guys out cold with a light slap to the mandible and broken all kinds of ribs with a ram's head punch. Yet good ol' fashioned wrasslin' techniques are the best way to get used to close combat. A trained wrestler's strenght and endurance are fearsome as they're used to grapples and locks.
