(our catch phrase is "Charging Grapple ... sounds like TACKLE!")  so we call it a tackle.  Though I'm not sure if it is in the rules, we allow dropping a grapple to Prone with a successful grapple check.  Always seemed odd to me that there were no rules for the On The Ground Scrap with two guys just scrabbling on the floor wailing on eachother.We like to use Grapple alot, though, for some reason.  Most real fights seem to end up that way.--fje</blockquote>
