Often the best way to develop a specific skill is to isolate that skill. If you want to learn to function on the ground then you need to work specifically on the ground. That doesnt mean that you are going to go out and actively seek a ground fight in a self defense situation. |

No, I don't mean by letting yourself get taken down in a self-defense situation. Only in controlled training.

well most of the options have already bees stated, the one i use the most is the sprawl, but, then again thats only when im with friends (kuz in tkd when you go down, you get stood right back up ya know) and we do mma styles, but ive also found a way to keep them from doing the attacks in the first place:
make sure you study when they do the attack, and what positions there in before hand, then when you see them coming at it, go in and close the gap QUICKLY and do actually a boxing move; do a quick punch out.. that usually rattles em up when ever they try those dirty tricks on me
