What exactly is ground survival? It is when you go from your most vulnerable position, on the ground, to getting up as quickly as possible. Ground survival tactics are incredibly important, as attacks on the ground can put in you a very dangerous position and get you more hurt. You will want to get back on your feet as fast as possible to get a better vantage point and to add more weight to your strikes.
What are Ground Attacks?
We should know what we’re defending against, as with all Krav Maga techniques. Ground attacks are attacks made against you when you’re on the ground. If it can be helped, do not go to the ground as more attackers could come to the first attacker’s help and fighting one people is hard enough as it is.
How does Ground Survival Training work?
Ground survival training centers on developing infighting and anti-takedown abilities so you don’t go down to the ground. Krav Maga groundwork employs the use of many standing combatives on the ground. This would include strikes to the groin, eye, and throat (the soft tissues) combined with joint breaks and dislocations. These tactics will hurt your adversary and increase your chances of survival.
When you strike the attacker’s soft tissue, their physiological reaction will be that their body lurches forward. This is an opportune moment for you to use a thumb gouge on their eyes and jolt their head backwards.
It must be noted that there must be some space between you and your assailant so make sure to create this separation. If your intermediate-to-long range strikes on the attacker’s upper body doesn’t work, they can grab you. The fight will become even more ugly, involving short combative, involving their knees and elbows.
There are plenty of risky positions that can befall you when you’re being attacked and on the ground. To survive a ground attack, it might surprise you that brute strength is not the only thing you can work to your advantage, but you can only learn tried and true techniques with our professional instructors and protect yourself fully.
