Treebranch Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Yes agreed a "cheap shot" is hard to avoid, sometimes running works best. All I'm saying is it more risky on the ground with other people around. If you saw your friend being attacked and go down in a fight, you could get as easily straddle the person on top and choke him with a common choke hold, right. I've been in many street fights and only one ended up on the ground, lucky for me it was'nt with a BJJ guy, but I was able to get him off. I'm also and have always been a pretty heavy guy so my hits usually caused the person not to want to continue fighting. A hard and fast quick kick to the groin area and a hard straight punch to the head usually did the trick, oh yeah, hammer blows to the nose work too. Anyway my close friend is BJJ teacher with the Machados and I'm going have him train me. I think it is good to study other art forms and BJJ seems to be the best of the grappling arts.

Kyle-san Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 From a standing position, you have to be aware and account for attackers coming at from all sides... on the ground, you really have to account for 1 side, your front. So, you're saying that when you're on the ground noone can attack your sides or from behind?
