Re: Strike to cancel Debate? ...why?

Re: Silva and the rest
Well from a fight perspective I'd go with joint locks and grapples being the key differentiators. At some point a punch is just a punch and a kick is just a kick. After that, its a matter of whether you punch/kick is faster/stronger than your opponent's ability to block/dodge/counter. Understanding ...
