Why would you tell me to stop and think "most people don't beat someone to death" when that was my point.Also as a law enforcement officer maybe stop and think most people dont just beat someone to death. For multiple reasons... most people are untrained and in pathetic shape. Or how about that they dont want to kill anyone? They want to teach someone a lesson or show off. Plenty of fights end on their own accord because we arent all savages.
Now. My entire point was stalling in guard should be a last ditch effort. Holding on and praying for intervention isnt proactive, its not a good game plan in any instance and I still believe that.
Stalling can definitely be a good choice. I prefer the term control though. If you are effective at trap guarding and stopping strikes while you control your opponent/attacker it minimizes damage until help arrives.
I think it's obvious that if you're capable of gaining top position or incapacitating your opponent that ideal. However, we can all find someone who can hand us our ass. When we find that person, being able control their posture and prevent meaningful strikes is your best option.
