I think you will find you hold back a lot.

Maybe you should try combatives or MMA if you fancy something a bit more "relalistic".

Not intending to be disrespectfull, i do have a TMA background in Judo, wu tang kung fu, shotakan karate, western kick boxing and i was Pres (and taught) submission fighting when i did my first degree in Manchester.
(national titles for the kick boxing and yawara ryu and intoantional fights in MMA)
Unless your very good TMAs are not great for "realism"
