Here are some quick descriptions and tips from Stephan Kesting on the most basic guard positions in grappling/BJJ. We’ve at least touched on all of these in Fight Class. As my disclaimer usually goes, some of the content is directly applicable to Krav Maga, some not so much.
This is not Krav Maga, but Krav Maga borrows the Get Up technique from BJJ. While not everything Stephan Kesting shows falls in line with our approach to self-defense (specifically the particulars of Back Position, Front Kick, and Transition Kick), this is one of the better videos I’ve seen demonstrating the technical stand-up.
We’ve made it through the first rotation of the groundfighting section of Fight Class! Thanks to all who attended. We’ll be circling back to this range of fighting soon enough, but I wanted to document what we worked on this go-round. Below is the list of techniques, some of which link to videos. Not all the videos perfectly represent what we did, but they’re close enough.
Here are some old posts that relate to the subject:
