Theme of the Week: Avoid the Swamp

The swamp, in this case, is the ground. We are going to avoid it because when there are multiple attackers involves, the ground isn’t always a good place to go. This becomes even more true when you don’t CHOOSE to go to the ground but instead, you get dragged to the ground.

One basic thought about avoiding the swamp: keep good posture. This means when one of your partners is on the ground and you want to throw a strike at them, don’t bend over. If you bend over, it is easier for that person on the ground to pull you down.

All this week we will examine how to avoid the swamp and of course, we will go over how to get out of the swamp if we do get pulled down.
