Up Down Position

By: CombatChaz on Thursday, May 26, 2005

The up/down position is when one person is standing and the other is on the ground on their back.

  • Up/Down
    • One person on their back vs a standing opponent.

Perhaps we could get some general description of what each person should be doing or looking for in terms of improving their position.

standing: kick the leg, pass (cartwheel, jumping thru, etc anyone?? =p), foot stomp/thrust..
bottom:try to get back on feet, upward kick, lure him to the ground, lay & pray (d'oh!!)

The strong man is not the one who wrestles, but controls himself in a fit of rage.

Standing: Axe kick setup a foot/ankle hold... and in MMA if u got the standing advantage get the ref to stand him or her up

Ground: play X guard, and butt scoot while guarding ur face of course

It's all a puzzle, isn't it, Joseph? Like a game of chess, perhaps. The pieces move, apparently aimlessly, but always towards one single objective: to kill the king. But who is the king in this game, Joseph? That is the question you must ask yourself.
