There are right ways and there are wrong ways to get back to your feet. Here’s a link to my article which breaks down some of your best options for how to get back to your feet properly.
Make sure you check it out – it’s a really important article. And feel free to forward this email or the article link to your training partners so that they can read it too.
Also, for an in-depth analysis of different techniques, strategies and drills to get off the ground and back to your feet check out my Mixed Martial Arts DVD. It’s NOT just about MMA – there’s a ton of stuff on it that’s directly relevant to self defense too!
