  I *really* like the idea of allowing grappling to some extent.  Sure,
  it gives more advantage to the larger and/or stronger fighter, but
  is that not period?  It seems that, in an effort to make fighting
  accessible to all, we have opted to emphasize the purely speed aspects
  of fighting, while downplaying the strength aspects.  Some of
  us fairly-strong-but-not-overly-fast fighter types would like
  to level the playing surface, as it were.
