However it is definately offers some great techniques to learn for a well rounded ground/clinch game.
Dont allow you to sprawl?

You ARE allowed to sprawl to block an attack - you just cant just sprawl & drop to the ground all the time to avoid an impending attack, nor I think can you grab your opponent and just sprawl to drag him to the ground.
