Here's a question for all the grappling people:
I have a background in TKD, no groundfighting training whatsoever. So what are the best ways to avoid getting thrown on your back (and eating lots of grass or whatever other vegetation happens to be on the ground). Specifically, if someone comes at you quickly from about five feet away with their arms open (think bear hug), what's the best way to move so you don't end up on the ground?
I've tried moving to the side, but it usually happens so fast that I can't get out of the way.
Thanks.
