You Need to Know What to Do on the Bottom!
These days every wannabe tough guy watches the UFC. And that means that bad guys all know the power of tackling someone to the ground and then pounding that person into oblivion.
But it doesn’t even need to be that deliberate, because you can also end up under your attacker just by chance.
A clinch gone bad, a surprise bum rush, even a slip and fall… One second you’re up on your feet and then suddenly – BOOM – you’re flat on your back with punches raining down.
Of course it’s true that in a self defense situation you may not necessarily want to go to the ground. Staying off the ground allows you to punch, kick, elbow, knee, and – most importantly – run away. So definitely keep the fight on the feet if that’s where you feel comfortable.
But it’s really important to realise that you may not have a choice about staying on your feet. The ground happens and when it does, you need answers.
So even if your entire game is based around staying on your feet you still better have a plan if you end up on the ground. You absolutely need to know what to do when you’re on the ground with an attacker above you.
And that means having the techniques and the strategies to survive on the bottom.
Hope for the best but prepare for the worst!
The Guard Is the Key to Survival on the Ground
You’ve probably heard of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or seen it in the UFC. BJJ is the incredibly efficient and effective system of grappling that has taken the martial arts world by storm.
But you don’t need to learn every aspect of jiu-jitsu to stay safe. After all, if you’re on the ground but in the top position then you can simply stand up, right?
But what if you’re on the bottom?
BJJ has the answer. It’s called the guard position and you use it when you’re on your back and your opponent is above you.
It’s called “the guard” because it uses your legs to protect your head (unlike other positions on the ground where you are much more vulnerable).
This helps you in a number of ways…
First of all, the guard allows you to control the range between you and your opponent.
This isn’t as simple as just wildly kicking your opponent away with your legs. If you do that continuously you’re simultaneously going to get exhausted and give even a semi-skilled opponent a TON of opportunities to get past your legs and put you into real trouble!
The guard also allows you to tie up your opponent’s arms with specific grips so that it becomes MUCH harder for him to hurt you.
So if you know what to do your attacker quickly finds himself entangled, his posture broken, and unable to generate the power he needs to land a strong shot.
Not getting hurt is the most important thing of course, but what comes next?
If you know what to do then you can use the guard to get back to your feet, even if he’s driving all of his weight down into you…
Or you can break his arms so he can’t punch or grab you anymore…
Or you can choke him out and render him helpless…
Or you can sweep him so you end up on in a dominant position on top.
The guard is all about having options.
But What If I Already Train BJJ?
If you already train BJJ then good for you! Every student in every BJJ class trains some form of the guard, so you’re off to a great start. In many ways the hard work is already done…
You’re likely already comfortable dealing with pressure, moving your hips, controlling distance, fighting for grips and so on.
But not all guards are created equal for self defense. Now you just need to tweak your game and add some new techniques.
Some schools focus almost entirely on the sport aspect of BJJ, and in sport jiu-jitsu the guard has evolved quite a bit away from its combative origins.
For example in BJJ competitions it’s not unusual to see players flip upside down, lie with their legs dangling in the air, and then fight for positions that might get their faces smashed in if there was striking.
Obviously this is NOT what you want to do in a real fight!
It’s not that the guard of sport jiu-jitsu is bad; it’s simply that it needs to be recalibrated so that you don’t make critical errors when using it in a real fight.
You need to modify your guard game so that really works against real strikes and real opponents.
The Self Defense Guard Techniques and Strategies
This instructional program is our brand new, step-by-step progression for learning to use the guard in a self defense situation.
You’ll be taught by BJJ black belt instructors Elliott Bayev and Stephan Kesting.
First you’ll learn how to use the guard correctly to make it almost impossible for your opponent to hit you and land that big fight-ending KO punch.
(You’ll also learn how to defend against headbutts, guard against kicks, shut down slams, prevent bites, and keep yourself safe against all kinds of street attacks!)
You’ll learn how to get back to your feet even when a larger opponent is trying to turn you into a smear on the pavement with all his weight.
And you’ll learn joint locks, chokes and reversals that work in real fights when your life may be on the line.
It’s all clearly taught in a logical progression using professionally recorded video and audio so that you can learn the material as fast as possible!
