Ground fighting [MINI-GUIDE]
How to deal with a fight on the ground: a free mini-guide
In terms of self-defense, ground fighting is at the same time:
- A fundamental part of combat that cannot be ignored
- Only a part of a serious martial preparation
- A bad choice in most self-defense scenarios
- An incredibly common happening in any real context
- …
Note – This article has been asked by one of our Core Course practitioners on Patreon (see how to attend our home study classes here Learn Kung Fu online: a beginner-to-expert course).
This mini-guide was born with the idea to help to:
- Avoid the biggest and most common mistakes
- Put the bases to start to build our ground game
- Clarify when and how ground fighting may be helpful and when not
A note by Master Kongling – Before continuing it is important to stress that, even if many of the principles we are going to discuss are valid in any context, this mini-guide is primarily directed toward self-defense.
