I have questions, I think you people have answers! I also think you will be happy to help me. I know I will appreciate help.

1a) MA78 says if you grappled an opponent from the front your knee strikes are at an advantage. In my mind knee strikes are the classic counter to grappling. Is this supported by the rules?

1b) That page says "...you may attack his groin at no penalty!". Are you still at -1 for the technique?

2a) B419 says that shock applies "...on your next turn only.", B363 says that your turn is from one maneuver to the next maneuver and "This overlaps the turns of other characters." Does this mean that if I hit my foe on one turn and then try to break out of a grapple on the next he takes a shock penalty on the quick contest?

2b) If 2a is true, and shock only applies on your next turn, would he NOT take a penalty if I tried to break out as part of the same maneuver that I hit him with?

3) If someone is grappling me and I want to grapple him back is he at any kind of penalty to defend?

4a) After I make a takedown I know that I can kneel as part of a later attack to get in range but what about my grapple? If I plan to pin I need to keep it and you can't grapple a prone foe standing. Are you assumed to fallow him to the ground?

4b) What affect does being grappled have on the Change Posture maneuver? The box on page B371 seems indifferent.

5a) I need two hands to make an arm lock but after that do I still need two to hold on?

5b) Is the +4 to hold on on top of the +5 for using two hands?

5c) Do I count as grappling an arm I have in a lock?

5d) Is it possible to pin someone with an arm lock?

6) If I attack with an arm and a leg am I rapid striking or dual-weapon attacking?
