yeah we dont share the same definition of GnP.
I mean if the exact "GnP" term owns to Mark Coleman and what Coleman used to display with it...let's not call it GnP
Call it whatever to the aspect of the game involving blending strikes and grappling in the ground, before and after Coleman, which is obviously a complex craft and, by my understanding, it involves using strikes to set up passes and posture ups, and using hand traps and ground tricks to set up clean, straight punches from top.
I don't think the style Okami mastered from Wajutsu is necesarilly a inffluence of Mark Coleman and the Hammer House
I dont agree with Kid Yamamoto being a better GnP especialist than Okami and Kawajiri. I do think grappling ability to keep the fight down to not get submitted or reversed is obviously a main aspect of GnP, even if less devastating.
To a certain extent, I see it like saying Masvidal is the best striker in the WW division because of footwork, feints, tecnique...and arguing that Hendricks is a better striker cause look at his punching power. And indeed has way bigger punching power.
I posted it above but it's directly related to the matter, dont know if the GnP Mark Coleman coined but this judo chop is about striking game in the ground vs a 2x ADCC openeight champion in Dean Lister and it indeed involves lot of grappling skill:

Kid Yamamoto had more devastating punches from everywhere for sure, including top position; a judo chop about his ground striking would probably be shorter though
