searcher Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 The styles I have studied have groundfighting. But to answer your question it depends on the style and the instructor. Some instructors don't teach groundfighting. "let those who shed blood with me be forever known as my brother." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karateka_latino Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Yes, it has. But not that you'll out grapple a jiujitsu, wrestler or Judoka. The groundfighting moves in karate are mostly to finish off a fight right there, not to spar your oponent on the ground (roll). For that, you have to train on a grappling specialized system.

hajime Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 one of the many aims of the Karate I was taught was balance and staying on your feet. If on the ground, face the opponent and get up asap, not forgetting to try and sweep them forget about UFC. If someone got me on the ground in that way I'd be biting their legs or sqeezing their testicles so hard they would pop 700 hours of official training.
