My dude, I've been training 43yrs this September. Everything you said is correct, but it's worst case scenario shit. It's n00bs, weeboos, and "reality based martial arts" LARPers that hand wring about that stuff. If you train with pressure testing for just a year or 2 and have even moderate athleticism, the worst case scenario stuff is highly unlikely to happen to you. 1. You have ukemi to help save you if the worst thing does happen. 2. Because you have learned enough about kuzushi to know what's up, and -
Judo and Greco-Roman are great. BITD when I was a yoot, I used nage waza successfully in real fights. I hit a choke slam osoto gari (finisher was a soccer kick to the face) 18yr old endomorphic senior vs 15yr old ectomorphic me. A Members Only leather jacket lapels grip improvised O-goshi in the parking lot of McD's in Melbourne (that was a KO) H.S. jr me vs College douche. But I derped him with punches to set it up. In a couple of fights, either supplex countered or hit the behind the knee, lift and dump them counter, to the headlock hip throw that it seemed every dude that roughhoused picked up how to do at some point. Learned that from my next older bro that was on the wrestling team.
None of those require the opponent to kick above the waist. The only thing necessary is them to not be experienced and athletic enough to stop it. Or already be loopy, because the best way to make kuzushi happen is blunt force trauma via 8 limbs.
Back to the funny - sound on or it's worthless.
