	Ground fighting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ground fighting (in martial arts sometimes referred to as "ground work" or "ground game") is hand-to-hand combat which takes place while the combatants are on the ground, generally involving a degree of grappling.
		Similarly to clinch fighting, ground fighting implies that the combatants are at a very close range, usually involving one or both combatants grappling the opponent using various grappling holds.
		A ground fighting sequence in mixed martial arts competition may begin, for example, with one combatant forcing another to the ground by using a double leg takedown and establishing a top mounted position.

		Ground kicks are very similar to standing kicks, except they are delivered from a kneeling, seated, or reclining position.

		Most people or more or less the less experienced "so called" students of martial arts fail to realize that Judo, Nippon Jujutsu among 100 of other systems of defenses have had some sort of ground defense incorporated into their system centuries ago as a mean to defend one’s self from a situation on the ground.
		All to often students fail to understand what is actually being taught however that is not always the fault of the one who is learning but also of the one who is teaching.
		We believe that any movement such as blocking, ground fighting what ever the move, stand up techniques or foot work must be done naturally, there must be no contrived actions, there must be no falsely formulated responses and there must be no dramatics or choreography.

		There has been a lot of recent emphasis placed upon ground fighting.
		The need for an effective arsenal of ground fighting techniques has been brought into focus by such sporting events as the "Ultimate Fighting Championships." In these events, the fighters rarely exchange more that a few fleeting punches or kicks; instead, they quickly end up on the floor, grappling.
		To this end, we as martial artists must train ourselves at all levels of combat to not only make us more complete and proficient warriors but to be able to successfully defend ourselves in any combative situations we find ourselves in.

		On many occasions during an arrest, the offender goes to the ground: either by verbal direction, that is, being given verbal commands to get on the ground and he complies; being taken to the ground by an armbar or other defensive tactic; or the offender resists and the fight ends up on the ground.
		When the fight goes to the ground, the offender’ goal is to be mobile to elude capture or be able to deliver harm to the arresting agents/ officers.
		Removing his fighting platform by the use of leg locks is an effective means of shutting down residence or used preemptively, an effective means to prevent resistance.

		While I can't comment on how helpful it would be to a beginner in any of those styles, it is a very useful aid to someone like myself, who already knows how to fight on their feet and is looking to adapt their skills to the ground.
		Chin Na in Ground Fighting is helpful because it goes beyond a simple collection of techniques (which are always hard to learn from books anyway), and explains the simple mechanics behind common locks and holds.
		Again - probably not that impressive to a student of a ground fighting style, but to student of a mostly stand-up-and-strike style, it is extremely valuable.
