Last time I indicated that today we would be looking at a couple of follow up to failed half wrist lock but I haven't quite got that video puller together yet.
So we are going to look at a ground self-defence / survival technique.
I talked before about the difference between sport and self-defence and how critical it is to know the difference between the two. In short there are many techniques that if you do them in a fight the way you would grappling in class they won't work for you. Worse these same techniques will get you hurt.
==>Surviving the knee on belt<==
Let look at the knee on belt position. This is one of the best positions for striking as it allow you to put all your weight on their stomach / diaphragm and leaves one or both hands free to strike. Good for the attacker on top but not so good if you find yourself on the bottom.Lets look at a possible scenario:
Your attacker surprises you and trips you to the ground. He then kneels down on your chest with one of his knees, pinning you to the ground and starts to punch the crap out of you. What would you do?
This is definitely one of the scenarios that if you react as you would in grappling you are going to get hurt.
