Since youe a striker, I say start with...

1) Basic rolls & falls

2) For the ground start with a) fighting from being mounted & b) then using the mount.

3) A few basic chokes; sleeper hold, cross colar & gillatine

4) Basic Wrist Locks (inside & outside) & atleast a cross arm bar (standing & ground)

5) Trapping applications of blocking techniques.

Where I start, depends on what I'm teaching...

Shotokan I focus on attack & trapping from blocks, then grappling from blocks.

Ninjitsu I teach falling & rolling, blocking, trapping & positioning. This is a set up to striking & "trap boxing" skills, which lead to trapping & locking a limb while strike in a smooth fluid montion. Kinda slow starting out but sppeds up quickly at higher levels.

Street Jujitsu I teach closing the gap & getting in close, trapping/infighting & unkemi first.

It's not that I feel the world owes me anything, I don't. But, on that note. What do I owe the world? Not a thing!

I was just curious as to which few techniques you all feel a striker should learn to round out their game, given that a full commitment to learning a grappling style may not be feasable. I guess a list of three to five techs is what I'd be looking for, maybe a breif explaination of the tech as well.

My gut feeling is that learning how to sprawl would be key as well as learning how to keep a guard position and escape from a mount. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I used to be a striker only until I learned the power of ground fighting by sparring with national champion (for his belt class) Ruffolski. I then transformed into a full fledge Mixed Martial Artist. I think every striker should learn at leats enough to get back on thier feet.

Self Defense:

if you are mounted- elbow to the groin.

if you want to get up form someone's guard- groin or face or elbows to the thighs

counters for shooting and takedowns

I dont practice sport grappling, so you will have to excuse me

Striking from the bottom of the mount, regardless of which strikes you attempt to use, will not get you out of there. Its not a good position to trade strikes with, since the man on top has such an advantage.

Bump and roll or elbow escape from that position, then do what you wish.

trust me, I thought that just by being on the mounted position on top, you were set.I tried it with one of the black belts from my school. but in a self defense situation, not at sport, you can get elbowed in the groin and you wont be able to do much if you are not wearing a cup :P this opens up a space for a quicker and easier mount escape

strikes to the face wont do much from the bottom position though, there are ways to dsitract your opponent for a bit though :)
