Ground Work and Takedown Defenses

Fighting on the ground is very common nowadays due to the popularity of Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jujitsu, but in self-defense fighting on the ground is something to be avoided at all cost as we are much more vulnerable against multiple attackers or knife stab. This is why Krav Maga ground work training mainly focuses on defending Takedowns, and defending attacks while on the ground and immediately standing up.
