How's BJJ? I think grappling > striking but you're doing both so what would you say?

Parkour from time to time.

Awesome. I've been looking to get into parkour. What would you say is more important: cardio or strength? I think that my bottleneck would probably be flexibility, which I'm working on. But I don't do any cardio at all (which will have to change in the next month or so), since it f**ks with my bulking. I can't imagine you really need cardio for learning parkour techniques. Maybe if you're doing a sustained session, linking techniques together, but I'm a ways off from that.

I've never really done any formal grappling (though we used to do a ton of it while sparring in Krav Maga- but no real training of techniques). But I've found that if the fight gets to the ground, unless the other guy is a wrestler/grappler, it can become about mounting the other guy and pummeling him until you think it's safe to get up. Not saying that grappling's not incredibly useful. Just that if you were to pick one or the other, I'd say that striking was more versatile.

i would disagree, 99% of all fights ive seen just end up with two people rolling on the ground. (at least if its a serious fight)

While the basic use is a sport, I run an advanced laser combat program here in Australia called Military Sims as a hobby one weekend per month. It uses the most advanced equipment with the most advanced software to create a suspended reality. The idea is to create modern squad based combat experiences for all those involved, and the feedback so far had been awesome. So much so that we have already been invited a few times to join the ADF on their excercises as their OpFor using our equipment instead of their old training systems. It keeps us all fit.

It's based on SE Queensland for anyone interested.

You see, I've always found it different. Any fight that I've been in that was pretty serious, but in the end we didn't really want to hurt each other too bad, would start with yelling in each other's faces, usually with the other guy spreading his arms all wide for some reason. Then somebody would push the other one, and then the other would push back. We'd close the resulting distance really quickly and go to a clinch and trying to break to punch each other. Somebody would get thrown, and it would become a grappling fight on the ground.

But the *really* serious fights, where they're trying to seriously harm you, always seemed to stay striking fights. It's just too dangerous to commit to grappling when someone can break free and start hammering you with strikes.

Hmm lets see here,
I would go for grapling when the adrenelin is running its hard to actually hurt somone by punching them repeatadly.
I have been in both situations (Internetz serious discusions.) id much rather have somone punch me in the face repeatadly on the floor than somone break my arm in an armbar which would be much more effedtive.

Unless the other guy's trained in BJJ, I'd be really surprised if somebody managed to break my arm without me knocking his teeth out with a few well placed back elbows.
