Category talk:Grappling positions

Separating positions from specific techniques
It seems to me that (per WP:CATDEF) this category could be made far more consistent and agreeable with the sources if it only referred to actual grappling positions and did not include the techniques/holds which are applied from grappling positions, but are not commonly seen as positions per se. While I'll admit that virtually anything could be argued as a "position" in the most general sense, grappling positions have a much more narrow meaning. For example, you don't commonly here a practitioner say "He submitted his opponent in or from the arm triangle choke position", but rather something like "He submitted his opponent from mount, using an arm triangle choke".

Here are a couple external links which support this more specific use of the term, and separate positions from techniques. They aren't meant to by quality sources, just examples of how the term is commonly applied:
