Self-Defense Show 098

Part 2 of 3 - Forty Ground Getaway techniques. That’s right folks! We are diving deep into the topic of physical techniques that are useful when you are on the ground / laying down. Although we have mentioned a few techniques and tactics for floor fights in past episodes, we never really took the subject head-on. Now you will learn 40 techniques to survive and escape when horizontal / grounded. They are divided into 5 groupings. Damagers are numbers 1 through 11. Anti-strangle techniques are 12 through 16. 17 through 28 are Disengagements, and 29 through 35 are Takedowns. Finally, we talk about Shielding Ground techniques for numbers 36 through 40. This should represent a fairly comprehensive set of moves to use, although I’m sure someone could nit pick through and find a few more to add. Episode 097 has a lot of introductory and preface information about Ground Getaways in general. After all the setup talk, we only really get to talk about techniques 1 through 4. Episode 098 finishes the Damagers category, and takes us through all the Anti-strangle techniques. Episode 099 packs in the last 24 moves (techniques 17 through 40) and covers Disengagements, Takedowns, and Shielding. We apologize up front for some of the awkward explanations. It was very hard to verbal (audio only) describe some of the techniques, although I did my best. Sometimes a picture is worth 1,000 words.
