Ahhh, I see. I suppose the clinch is a lot like groundwork, only standup. Just imagine yourself flipped 90 degrees and you're good to go! Ground and pound!

I've heard that it's hard to train a grappler to be a striker, rather than the other way around. Would that (wanting to go to the gorund) be the reason?
