So, just a teensy bit on the cinematic side...

I'm guessing TG doesn't spend a lot of word count on the uses of Compartmentalized Mind in grappling fights.

Dude, most of my games are "cinematic" and it does nothing to detract from the detail of Technical Grappling or how deadly it can get. I'm not even using the double CP rule for cinematic games. One-handed grapples/chokes are hard to pull off, period. Neck Snap via the legs is a favored move of one player - especially after she read Doug's Technical Natasha post (which I asked him to do for her to begin with). She's playing a supernatural creature with some strength on her this time...but she still can't do one-handed grabs easily.
