what if two guys get to the ground, and the referee beats the guy on top with a stick? that would be awesome rule

Except that there are very few examples of this type of ground grappling in CMA and all of them we have came after being exposed to Judo
Futhermore, the Japanese, being as anal as they are have very well documented the evolution of Judo/Jiu Jitsu
The extensive ground grappling we see, which influenced and led to BJJ/Sambo, etc came in a period after Jiu Jitsu was abandoned as a battlefield art and became for personal dueling
EVEN THEN, it was under developed. Kano's original curriculum did NOT have extensive ne-waza (floor work). The development by a particular ground of this sort of ne-waza and them defeating Kano's men prompted its inclusion into Kodokan Judo as we know it...
Then, of course, it was further developed in Brazil because Helio Gracie was a man of small physical stature
Have you read Kennedy's book on Chinese training manuals yet? It's fascinating to see how persistant (and long term!) the prevalance of BS and fantasy land values is in TCMA.... it seems like anyone interested in practical CMA has to claw their way against the mainstream, and this is dating back in many cases more than 100 yeas ago
does anyone know if this magic tiger kung fu is real or just learned from ju jitsu?

This cage fighting thing is sweet and all but I think they need to throw in a really hungry wild animal just to liven things up after they been laying there hugging too long.
Random animals with long fangs, huge incisors, and carbon fiber enhanced claws.
Now that's pay per view!!
My idea! I said it first!!
To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.
