some variation of rk-mma for sure, good middle ground

Thing is this is a mod most people play, have warred in, and can understand. It would be a gigantic chore to convince all of Toribash to play a modified aikido that disallowed things like hip grabs.
if we had breakable grabs there would not be a need to make some parts ungrabable, as it's not the solution and it can be abuseable,
my point is very simple:
striking mods meta should be about striking your opponent, and not grabbing him
grappling mods should be about dq your opponent, and not striking him
kicking mods - i have no idea, so whatever guys who play it decide
the problem of abd is that meta is really fucked up, and at this point a complete mess, with dms, scores and lot's other shit which makes it way too crumbled
thats why something like
spiritwrestling should be used, as it's the mod all about grappling and dq your opponent, in or out of the dojo.
you can't win by hurting him directly, you need to pin him down on dojo.
this is the purest grappling mod tb have, and it have great skill cap, it only require wrists dq and no ankles dq from pure mechanics point of view,
to make sure there will be no tripoding, unlike to what you get in siku's mod with simple sumo 1, even if he claims it to be authentic,
you don't convince people, you come up with mod, test in extensively to make sure there are no major flaws you may have missed and you show it.
people will never be convinced to try something else if all the do is play one and the same mod and only good at it.
i believe we should make another thread and discuss in details "cumpetative" mods there
currently we all agreed on:
rk-mma (may be some slight variation)
erthtk (since tk players say it's good, and most of us trust them in this)
