Live Training as a Learning Tool

When you first start training in ground defense, you usually stick to choreographed attacks and defenses giving you more opportunities to develop your skills and techniques. Eventually though, you’ll need to move on from this style of training and apply what you have learned in a more “live” training environment. Ground fighting can be fast and dynamic. Things can change very quickly on the ground, and if you’re not trained to adapt quickly, you may find yourself helpless on the ground if someone gets the jump on you.

Whether you do live training with a partner or in a training circle, you can train at different levels of intensity depending on whether you want to improve your technical applications or increase the difficulty level and realism of the exercise. I like to work with three different levels of intensity with my students, which are as follows:

Level #1: The attacking partner sticks to a single hold down (no striking is allowed). The attacker may resist the defender’s attempts to escape if ineffective, but must always return to their original attack rather than changing their attack. The attacker should loosen up or respond appropriately to the defender’s attacks to vital targets without changing their attack. This style of live training is designed to increase technical understanding and confidence with defensive techniques.
