1. Tap early, tap often. If your partner achieves a strong submission position, don’t delay in tapping in the hopes of muscling your way out. If they have superior positioning, you risk injury by trying to force your way out. The best way to tap is to tap the person’s body, or if that is not possible, you can tap the mat very loudly. If tapping is impossible, or simply not fast enough, you can do so verbally by saying, “Tap!” or “Stop!”

2. Stay relaxed and avoid using strength. When tousling on the ground, the tendency for an untrained person is to use frantic movements to fight the person off. This tendency should be avoided in training. Staying relaxed and avoiding the use of strength helps you conserve energy, makes you harder to move, helps you to see more opportunities, and keeps everyone safer as they train in ground defense. While this is a general training rule, and in a real self-protection scenario, there may be cases in which using frantic kicks with less abandon, what we call “going alley cat crazy,” in a forceful, all-out defense makes sense, particularly when the defender has little to no ground defense training (a concept we regularly teach in our women’s self-defense courses).
