"You get out of it what you put in to it"
To me PH is like a gate way to CLINCH WORK and other things :
...if you wanna work a standing clinch range...then ya, you get out of it what you put into it.
! Standing clinch IMO happens on it's own randomly or on purpose....like when a guy is pressed up against the side of a cage or wall.
...if you wanna work setting up locks ph is a good way to do that from the perspective of listening and waiting for the right moment to apply it. Locks work better when "HE gives it to me" more than If I try to force what's not there. I can also attack from clinch and follow his response to a lock or finish...it just takes a fighter to set it up properly.
...if grapplers can START on thier knees to work hip and body position, switching to potential finishes or submissions. Why then cannot PH people also start from a standing clinch type position to begin potential attacks. Strike, lock, sweep or throw?
