Today I had a very enlightening lesson teaching methods of defending yourself in the unfortunate event you get knocked down.
What I learned is as follows. Firstly, if you fall back immediately go into a crabwalk and send your heel up like an arrow. If you fall forward, chances are your opponent is behind you, so on to the hands and balls of the feet and kick much like in the crab posture. This one we call spider posture. And if you're already flat on your back, just do a reclined inside-outside followed by an outside-inside with the second leg, then there's an oppurtunity to do a side cutter. This is the flowering kick, frequently seen in movies when a martial artist propells themselves to their feet from a reclined position. I can't do that, lol.
That's about all I got, can anyone else add their thoughts on repelling an attacker from the ground?
