Being strong 100% helps.
Joined BJJ last year, vsing the people who signed up at the same time as me, I can dominate based on strength alone.
Against guys who have trained longer, while they always get me with something eventually, the brute strength makes it a stalemate initially.-----------------------------------------

Just throwing this out there as someone who was relying on strength to at least hold my guard against better grapplers. Advice from my coach last week.
When I start at 100% strength, I’m answered with full resistance and when I go for my sweeps they are prepared for me using my full force already. When I’m only gripping and positioning and using 60% of my strength then crank it up to 100 on a sweep or when I try somthing I’ve had a lot more luck catching people off guard.

Yeah, strength helps a lot for both: Striking and Grappling.
I remember back in the days I was wrestling/grappling with power lifter who had a very little experience with bjj. He had 44lbs more weight than me and he was really hard opponent to spar with. You need to know that I had 5+ years MMA background at that time and I had lots of experience sparring with every kind of people: advanced BJJ/MMA fighters, heavier and lighter people than me, people less experienced than me, people more experienced than me etc.
And this power lifter guy was one of the hardest sparring opponent I have had. And no, it was not because of he was 44 lbs heavier than me. I had already before that wrestled more heavier guys than he was, guys up to 240+ lbs who trained mma. And they were easier opponents than this dude was.
That story alone would be proof that traditional strength training gives you more advantage on fighting.
Then #2 point. If you want more power to strikes and kicks, you want to train that explosive strength. I would list lots of drills how to do these with your own body weight alone, but it would take forever to write it and hard to explain.
But for example one drill to get more explosive power to your kicks, is to kneel down and then rise as quickly as possible up and kick as hard as you can to punching bag/pad. If I have time, I could probably make a tutorial as in the other thread: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...post1618510901
TLDR
Strength helps dramatically for grappling, for striking train that explosive strength to get more power for strikes.
Best luck for training brah!Check my Martial Arts tricks and other stuff from my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQPEMszlQV71Z9SD5BXPuFg
