It's best use is not in extreme close quarters combat, though, but in navigating areas where there are non-combatants scattered around, and possibly in tight building-clearing situations. If you're on the ground (or ground floor), IMHO it makes for a quickly-employed and versatile way to get your muzzle in a (realtively) safe position. The two downsides are: 1. If you're on the move, which you probably will be, you'll almost inevitably be covering your feet/legs at some point. 2. If you do get caught at bad-breath distance while you're in Sul, you'll need to have had some specific training to keep the position from becomming a liability; it's far easier for a bad guy to control your hands from that position than, say, if you were in Close Contact Ready.
YMMV.
