se;f explanatory, do you train or do mma type sparring; if so, how does the addition of stirkes or working from a standing position impact your strategy, abillity and the skills you use/apply.
what are the strengths of your ground game when dealing w/strikes, what are the weak points; does your overall skillset and eff drop off when strikes are introduced.
my game doesn't change much, because even when i grapple i do so from a position of standing; not because i am a standup guy per se, but because i trained for self def and fighting purposes. So i never got into the habit of eschewing my footwork or hand positioning, spacing or angles.
being that ground def/guardwork has never been my strength; i always try to maintain dist and use angles to def, control or limit attempts for takedowns.. so that im not taken down, if i am, im not put down exactly how my opp wants. Which gives me a chance of rev or getting away; an finally i use angles/dist to limit his attempts so that he won't have the dist and will focus more on closing or setting up for shots, not just shooting cus of my readjustments.
im less actively submission wise; i just don't want to get out positioned and punched in the face; an having faced alot of strikers w/competent ground games, when u get out of position u get blasted when u miss or when they escape and outposition u. I usually do alot of leg locks, ankle, kneebars, etc; an w/strikes the price to pay is a huge one. Same w/subs from the guard, im a bit more judicious, cus my guard is a bit suspect in the first place; i dont' want to compound it's weak points by using alot of sub attempts, etc.
this is just an idea of what i am talking about, in case noone understood; also do u have any real standup skills/exp that allow ur game on the ground to become more eff or is ur lack of standup make u predicatable. I.E. ALL U DO IS SHOOT BLIND OR RUSH TO CLINCH DO TO NO REAL STANDUP EXP
