Interesting and worth repeating that you don't get to assume you've grappled the other guy until you declare it so, even if he's bear hugging you from the front with your own arms outside of his (my wife and I call this the "idiot's bear hug" when we learn defenses against it).
Unless you declare it, you're just standing there like Fezzik from The Princess Bride being grappled by the Man in Black. "I just wanted to you think you were doing well. I hate for people to die embarrassed."
