Ground Defence

Situation Three: Your assailant has
forced you to the ground and is about
to finish you with a stomp.
1) Roll into him and grab his support
leg. (Fig. 213)
2) Drive your elbow into the back of
his knee joint and bring him to the
ground. (Fig. 214)

This counter requires speed and
commitment. It takes a hard elbow
blow to buckle his knee, but when you
achieve it he drops like a sack. Practise
on a heavy bag until you can deliver it
with real power.
