Grappling can be trained at full intensity safely
Grappling is uniquely valuable because it can be trained at nearly 100% effort against 100% resistance without injury, since submitting an opponent (choking unconscious or breaking a limb) requires no harm when they tap, whereas striking is synonymous with injury because knocking someone out is by definition a concussion—so striking arts must be trained judiciously as a pantomime of violence.

“the ability to train at that level where you're making 100 effort against 100 resistance that is what is so unique at least in my experience about grappling”
