Brazilian jiu jitsu it isn’t useless it just has the limitations I discussed in the guide

 

[idealistsynth]

reading this will def help against someone who trains martials arts for years for most normies the best fighting guide is to run as fast as possible

ur low iq these are general guidelines and the entire guide is designed for a confrontation between two untrained ppl

obviously none of this matter if I rape u

 

[idealistsynth]

seems kinda sus that you'd dominate street fights easily if you haven't been in many tbh source?

amateur mma fighter lol I compete against other trained competitors

if I’m a professional driver and I won a couple street races am I winning because of my experiences on the street or because of my background?

also anyone who claims to regularly get into street confrontations is either lying or black

 

[appealisLAW]

ur low iq these are general guidelines and the entire guide is designed for a confrontation between two untrained ppl

obviously none of this matter if I rape u

If you don't want to end up being of the many drunk idiots that gets slept, manhandled, or slammed in the off-topic section, I highly suggest you read this thread. I'm an amateur MMA fighter with several fights, BJJ practitioner, and former scholastic wrestler. I haven't been in too many street fights per se, mostly because I'm tall asf and don't really get confronted, but when I have, I've dominated quite easily. Let's break down how to be a good fighter step by step.

As a note, knowing how to fight is extremely important in improving how you carry yourself. I'm comfortable with flirting with whoever I want and behaving how I want to because I know I can easily handle myself in any confrontation. The feeling of confidence in confrontation is something that helps with your presence a LOT.

Let's jump into the guide.

SETTING

Your approach to any physical confrontation must be to first understand where you are and who is around you. This sounds corny, but even the most dominant and experienced fighter could get his shit handled if he's in the wrong place. I will be structuring the guide to include some basic striking components, as well as some basic grappling components.

Striking should be primarily used in more open areas where there is an ability to establish range. Additionally, striking makes much more sense when fighting on hard surfaces such as concrete. I'm a talented grappler myself, but I wouldn't even initiate a grappling sequence with the ineptest opponent when on concrete, since implementing a takedown may hurt myself.

Grappling should be primarily used in situations where there is not much risk of others jumping into the fight, there are no drastic changes in elevation around you, the surface of which you are fighting on isn't hard or rough. In colder settings where people wear coats or any sort of clothing that has more "grips", I suggest using this.
Okay, let's now move onto discussing some basic striking.

STRIKING

Striking is actually what comes less naturally to us as humans. We have a proclivity towards wrestling, exhibited through how kids do so even in regions with no wrestling culture, but striking is a sport that goes against every sliver of human reflex. Luckily, because of this fact, you can achieve a lot more with having a bit of striking knowledge. Moreover, striking exchanges between two relatively untrained or untrained people is the situation in which weight/strength advantages have the least influence.

Throwing straight punches is the most unassumingly simple way to win a small striking exchange. I'm not going to sit here and explain to you the rotational mechanics of throwing a hook, cross, etc, since that is redundant and impossible to do without being physically present. But, if you notice in any of these fight videos, the individuals who throw a semi-straight punch is who lands and ultimately wins. Don't throw wild haymakers, you will terribly miss, lose balance, you won't be throwing hard regardless, and you will lose. Throw straight punches at the person's face. Forget about hitting them hard, focus on hitting them. Power means practically nothing in these low skill fights. If you notice, whoever lands a flush punch first primarily wins, no matter how pitty-patter it seems.

Let's reiterate to earlier. Haymakers are the most common punches thrown in a street fighting. Wild, uncoordinated swings. There are two counters to this attack.

1. Short Distance: If your opponent is extremely close to you and throwing wild, uncoordinated swings, you can respond with a horizontal elbow. Elbow strikes are a favorite of mine since untrained fighters aren't used to them or maybe don't even know they exist. It is also incredibly easier to throw more power with an elbow, they are much more resilient and sharper than your knuckles. Simply aim your elbow and swing up at the opponent's face. This technique honestly keeps your base balanced, (you aren't swinging your whole body across), and will cause a lot of damage.

2. Move out the fucking way: This goes without saying, if they are really out of range, just step back jfl. This way, your opponent will meaninglessly expend energy throwing useless punches, lose their fucking balance, and even if you have the worst hands, you can simply counter them while they are flailing about.

Kicking is something inexperienced practitioners should avoid. Your balance and base are the two most important things as a beginner, and you will give this up in a kick. Ofc, if I'm fighting, I'd chew up someone's calf or thigh with kicks, but this would be such a bad idea for someone who doesn't know how to. You may slip and fall on your ass, have your kick caught, or worst yet, your dumbass will drop your hands and get rocked trying to do your best Alex Pereira impression.

GRAPPLING

This is the fun part for me tbh. Grappling is a great way to get your opponent to the ground and beat their face bloody. As inexperienced practitioners, position is what matters. I've submitted high level grapplers for money before, but I would absolutely never attempt a submission in a street fight. Once again, DO NOT GRAPPLE IN SITUATIONS WHERE OTHERS MAY BE INVOLVED OR THE SURFACE IS ROUGH, ELEVATION CHANGES, ETC.

Drawing back to the positional aspect, ALWAYS BE ON TOP. Anything you do must be with the intent of maintaining top control which is the single greatest advantage in a street fight. Being on top allows for the possibilities for ground and pound, aka elbowing and punching tf out of the opponent.

Okay, so we understood to only stay on the top and not attempt or try anything that involves leg entanglements, getting to bottom etc. But how do we achieve top position in the first place.

Let's discuss takedowns. Takedowns are the reason why Caucasian inbreds are the best fighters in the world and the reason you'll save face at your next bar fight. First thing we need to understand is the art of getting grips. Grips will play into the next segment of the guide as well, but in the context of takedowns, grips are the single most important thing. There will be some grips you will be able to get no matter what, such as grabbing your opponent's neck, wrist, tricep area, or lat. Think of these areas as the holding points of how you push and pull, sort of like body levers. Pushing and pulling aimlessly actually works on the street pretty well since most people are uncoordinated asf.

Some grips may come as a result of clothing. If your opponent has a collar, GRAB IT. Now that we have discussed the grips we could potentially get, let's discuss how we fit them into doing actual takedowns.

1. The double leg: This is my favorite. There are several ways to do it and achieve it, but get leverage over some part of your opponent's lower body BELOW THEIR HIPS, and DRIVE FORWARD. Bonus points, drive them forward but to the left or right. This is a poor man's double leg and is a simple way to get them down. If you are a bigger or strong guy, you could pick the opponent up and slam them, instead of driving them down. Just make sure you aren't throwing yourself down with them.
2. The shitty street fight toss/sweep: Grab onto their collar or head, pull them in a direction while also tripping them or putting some sort of mechanical diversion onto their legs in order to cause them to lose balance. Do this with confidence and intention, and they will stumble. Seize the opportunity to either throw punches or keep trying to drive them to the ground while they are unbalanced.

Okay, I got to the ground. What tf now? Simple. Hit them. Stomp, elbow, punch, slap, do whatever you feel necessary to rain down strikes. Have at it, the fight is won at this point.

OH NO, I'M IN A TRICKY SPOT!!!!

There are a variety of sticky spots you can be in. Let's discuss a few possibilities that are most common.

1. You are being choked: If you are placed in a chokehold, first determine whether you are the side or directly in front of the person. If directly in front of the place, walk your feet back as far as you can while breaking the grip with your hands. By any means, do not get closer to them, as the choke will get tighter. If you are to the side of the person, they are mechanically disadvantaged and do not know how to fight. Continue moving, either backwards to get to their back from which you can slam them or push them away, or get closer and grab onto their legs, creating a solid grip before picking them and slamming them down. You are in no danger.
2. You are on the ground, on bottom: Immediately grab onto your opponent's wrists so they have no means of throwing any strikes. Wrist control is paramount. From there, try getting up, (see technical standup in BJJ), grabbing onto their legs to try and take them down, (see wrestling up), or just negating any damage until you are broken up by spectators.
3. Multiple people join in: Fucking book it. Just run, you aren't Jon Jones or some crazy prizefighter. If you're already on the ground, pray to Gandy that they'll punch you hard enough you qualify for facial reconstruction, or curl up in a ball protecting your head from pain damage.

Cool thread, but I'd love to see some pictures/short videos, it's very hard to picture all this through words only.

Also what would you recommend a complete beginner do to be able to defend themselves?
What are the signs a fight is inevitable?

I can stitch a bunch of videos into one good instructional soon, collecting pirated copies.

carry a gun or firearm.

when the other person is approaching you, threatening to hurt you, or getting slightly physical (pushing, etc)

Mirin the effort and info bro good guide for general knowledge

 

[appealisLAW]

Thank you saar
But what is bjj and why is it useless im assuming its an acronym for jiu jitsu

it's useless on the street since you have to be on ground and that's just stupid on the street since it's never proper 1v1, judo on the other hand is perfect for the streets since you literally slam opponent on the concrete, which can be fatal so careful with that

I'm not going to sit here and explain to you the rotational mechanics of throwing a hook, cross, etc, since that is redundant and impossible to do without being physically present. But, if you notice in any of these fight videos, the individuals who throw a semi-straight punch is who lands and ultimately wins. Don't throw wild haymakers, you will terribly miss, lose balance, you won't be throwing hard regardless, and you will lose. Throw straight punches at the person's face. Forget about hitting them hard, focus on hitting them. Power means practically nothing in these low skill fights. If you notice, whoever lands a flush punch first primarily wins, no matter how pitty-patter it seems.

Let's reiterate to earlier. Haymakers are the most common punches thrown in a street fighting. Wild, uncoordinated swings. There are two counters to this attack.

1. Short Distance: If your opponent is extremely close to you and throwing wild, uncoordinated swings, you can respond with a horizontal elbow. Elbow strikes are a favorite of mine since untrained fighters aren't used to them or maybe don't even know they exist. It is also incredibly easier to throw more power with an elbow, they are much more resilient and sharper than your knuckles. Simply aim your elbow and swing up at the opponent's face. This technique honestly keeps your base balanced, (you aren't swinging your whole body across), and will cause a lot of damage.

2. Move out the fucking way: This goes without saying, if they are really out of range, just step back jfl. This way, your opponent will meaninglessly expend energy throwing useless punches, lose their fucking balance, and even if you have the worst hands, you can simply counter them while they are flailing about.

Kicking is something inexperienced practitioners should avoid. Your balance and base are the two most important things as a beginner, and you will give this up in a kick. Ofc, if I'm fighting, I'd chew up someone's calf or thigh with kicks, but this would be such a bad idea for someone who doesn't know how to. You may slip and fall on your ass, have your kick caught, or worst yet, your dumbass will drop your hands and get rocked trying to do your best Alex Pereira impression.

GRAPPLING

This is the fun part for me tbh. Grappling is a great way to get your opponent to the ground and beat their face bloody. As inexperienced practitioners, position is what matters. I've submitted high level grapplers for money before, but I would absolutely never attempt a submission in a street fight. Once again, DO NOT GRAPPLE IN SITUATIONS WHERE OTHERS MAY BE INVOLVED OR THE SURFACE IS ROUGH, ELEVATION CHANGES, ETC.

Drawing back to the positional aspect, ALWAYS BE ON TOP. Anything you do must be with the intent of maintaining top control which is the single greatest advantage in a street fight. Being on top allows for the possibilities for ground and pound, aka elbowing and punching tf out of the opponent.

Okay, so we understood to only stay on the top and not attempt or try anything that involves leg entanglements, getting to bottom etc. But how do we achieve top position in the first place.

Let's discuss takedowns. Takedowns are the reason why Caucasian inbreds are the best fighters in the world and the reason you'll save face at your next bar fight. First thing we need to understand is the art of getting grips. Grips will play into the next segment of the guide as well, but in the context of takedowns, grips are the single most important thing. There will be some grips you will be able to get no matter what, such as grabbing your opponent's neck, wrist, tricep area, or lat. Think of these areas as the holding points of how you push and pull, sort of like body levers. Pushing and pulling aimlessly actually works on the street pretty well since most people are uncoordinated asf.

Some grips may come as a result of clothing. If your opponent has a collar, GRAB IT. Now that we have discussed the grips we could potentially get, let's discuss how we fit them into doing actual takedowns.

1. The double leg: This is my favorite. There are several ways to do it and achieve it, but get leverage over some part of your opponent's lower body BELOW THEIR HIPS, and DRIVE FORWARD. Bonus points, drive them forward but to the left or right. This is a poor man's double leg and is a simple way to get them down. If you are a bigger or strong guy, you could pick the opponent up and slam them, instead of driving them down. Just make sure you aren't throwing yourself down with them.
2. The shitty street fight toss/sweep: Grab onto their collar or head, pull them in a direction while also tripping them or putting some sort of mechanical diversion onto their legs in order to cause them to lose balance. Do this with confidence and intention, and they will stumble. Seize the opportunity to either throw punches or keep trying to drive them to the ground while they are unbalanced.

Okay, I got to the ground. What tf now? Simple. Hit them. Stomp, elbow, punch, slap, do whatever you feel necessary to rain down strikes. Have at it, the fight is won at this point.

OH NO, I'M IN A TRICKY SPOT!!!!

There are a variety of sticky spots you can be in. Let's discuss a few possibilities that are most common.

1. You are being choked: If you are placed in a chokehold, first determine whether you are the side or directly in front of the person. If directly in front of the place, walk your feet back as far as you can while breaking the grip with your hands. By any means, do not get closer to them, as the choke will get tighter. If you are to the side of the person, they are mechanically disadvantaged and do not know how to fight. Continue moving, either backwards to get to their back from which you can slam them or push them away, or get closer and grab onto their legs, creating a solid grip before picking them and slamming them down. You are in no danger.
2. You are on the ground, on bottom: Immediately grab onto your opponent's wrists so they have no means of throwing any strikes. Wrist control is paramount. From there, try getting up, (see technical standup in BJJ), grabbing onto their legs to try and take them down, (see wrestling up), or just negating any damage until you are broken up by spectators.
3. Multiple people join in: Fucking book it. Just run, you aren't Jon Jones or some crazy prizefighter. If you're already on the ground, pray to Gandy that they'll punch you hard enough you qualify for facial reconstruction, or curl up in a ball protecting your head from pain damage.

wow, this is one of the few threads i actually read dot to dot

mirin

 

[tomfromthesnow]

Been boxing for months now all I really think about is all it takes is one punch or fall and your fucked for life

 

[BucketCrab]

carry a gun or firearm.

I mean if I wanted to get a base level of self-defense competence.
Getting a permit to carry firearms in my country is pretty difficult, and even then you can only carry them if you have a reasonable excuse to have them on you (basically never unless you're going hunting).

when the other person is approaching you, threatening to hurt you, or getting slightly physical (pushing, etc)

Yes but what are the tell-tale signs that there's no resolution but fighting?
What's the moment in which I should just act, strike first, and strike hard?
It's not easy sometimes to tell if a guy is just being a dick or if he will genuinely attack you.

 

[smartstyle]

If you don't want to end up being of the many drunk idiots that gets slept, manhandled, or slammed in the off-topic section, I highly suggest you read this thread. I'm an amateur MMA fighter with several fights, BJJ practitioner, and former scholastic wrestler. I haven't been in too many street fights per se, mostly because I'm tall asf and don't really get confronted, but when I have, I've dominated quite easily. Let's break down how to be a good fighter step by step.

As a note, knowing how to fight is extremely important in improving how you carry yourself. I'm comfortable with flirting with whoever I want and behaving how I want to because I know I can easily handle myself in any confrontation. The feeling of confidence in confrontation is something that helps with your presence a LOT.

Let's jump into the guide.

SETTING

Your approach to any physical confrontation must be to first understand where you are and who is around you. This sounds corny, but even the most dominant and experienced fighter could get his shit handled if he's in the wrong place. I will be structuring the guide to include some basic striking components, as well as some basic grappling components.

Striking should be primarily used in more open areas where there is an ability to establish range. Additionally, striking makes much more sense when fighting on hard surfaces such as concrete. I'm a talented grappler myself, but I wouldn't even initiate a grappling sequence with the ineptest opponent when on concrete, since implementing a takedown may hurt myself.

Grappling should be primarily used in situations where there is not much risk of others jumping into the fight, there are no drastic changes in elevation around you, the surface of which you are fighting on isn't hard or rough. In colder settings where people wear coats or any sort of clothing that has more "grips", I suggest using this.
Okay, let's now move onto discussing some basic striking.

STRIKING

Striking is actually what comes less naturally to us as humans. We have a proclivity towards wrestling, exhibited through how kids do so even in regions with no wrestling culture, but striking is a sport that goes against every sliver of human reflex. Luckily, because of this fact, you can achieve a lot more with having a bit of striking knowledge. Moreover, striking exchanges between two relatively untrained or untrained people is the situation in which weight/strength advantages have the least influence.

Pepper spray mogs.

Then if somebody attacks you - you pepper them then throw multiple punches/kicks and then run away. Or run away on the spot.

Wrestling is 90% about raw power anyways.

Yes but what are the tell-tale signs that there's no resolution but fighting?
What's the moment in which I should just act, strike first, and strike hard?
It's not easy sometimes to tell if a guy is just being a dick or if he will genuinely attack you.

Better to be in court than in grave.

OH NO, I'M IN A TRICKY SPOT!!!!

There are a variety of sticky spots you can be in. Let's discuss a few possibilities that are most common.

1. You are being choked: If you are placed in a chokehold, first determine whether you are the side or directly in front of the person. If directly in front of the place, walk your feet back as far as you can while breaking the grip with your hands. By any means, do not get closer to them, as the choke will get tighter. If you are to the side of the person, they are mechanically disadvantaged and do not know how to fight. Continue moving, either backwards to get to their back from which you can slam them or push them away, or get closer and grab onto their legs, creating a solid grip before picking them and slamming them down. You are in no danger.
2. You are on the ground, on bottom: Immediately grab onto your opponent's wrists so they have no means of throwing any strikes. Wrist control is paramount. From there, try getting up, (see technical standup in BJJ), grabbing onto their legs to try and take them down, (see wrestling up), or just negating any damage until you are broken up by spectators.
3. Multiple people join in: Fucking book it. Just run, you aren't Jon Jones or some crazy prizefighter. If you're already on the ground, pray to Gandy that they'll punch you hard enough you qualify for facial reconstruction, or curl up in a ball protecting your head from pain damage.

you can easily go undetected if you know anything about how to do it

it's useless on the street since you have to be on ground and that's just stupid on the street since it's never proper 1v1, judo on the other hand is perfect for the streets since you literally slam opponent on the concrete, which can be fatal so careful with that

nogi judo is wrestling/bjj buddy. and doing those throws without a gi is hard

so people are naked on the streets? hoodie or a jacket is nearly identical as gi

do you even train? the grips to achieve any genuine judo throw are much different. a hoodie or jacket are good grips to push and pull, but they aren’t built as well as a gi.

there’s a reason no gi judo doesn’t really exist jfl. if you take away the gi, the only moves left are wrestling moves. wrestling predates judo and any other grappling art.

i used to, not judo tho. i agree with everything you said except a main part where you forgot that you are throwing normies, not someone who trains judo.

If you don't want to end up being of the many drunk idiots that gets slept, manhandled, or slammed in the off-topic section, I highly suggest you read this thread. I'm an amateur MMA fighter with several fights, BJJ practitioner, and former scholastic wrestler. I haven't been in too many street fights per se, mostly because I'm tall asf and don't really get confronted, but when I have, I've dominated quite easily. Let's break down how to be a good fighter step by step.

As a note, knowing how to fight is extremely important in improving how you carry yourself. I'm comfortable with flirting with whoever I want and behaving how I want to because I know I can easily handle myself in any confrontation. The feeling of confidence in confrontation is something that helps with your presence a LOT.

Let's jump into the guide.

SETTING

Your approach to any physical confrontation must be to first understand where you are and who is around you. This sounds corny, but even the most dominant and experienced fighter could get his shit handled if he's in the wrong place. I will be structuring the guide to include some basic striking components, as well as some basic grappling components.

Striking should be primarily used in more open areas where there is an ability to establish range. Additionally, striking makes much more sense when fighting on hard surfaces such as concrete. I'm a talented grappler myself, but I wouldn't even initiate a grappling sequence with the ineptest opponent when on concrete, since implementing a takedown may hurt myself.

Grappling should be primarily used in situations where there is not much risk of others jumping into the fight, there are no drastic changes in elevation around you, the surface of which you are fighting on isn't hard or rough. In colder settings where people wear coats or any sort of clothing that has more "grips", I suggest using this.
Okay, let's now move onto discussing some basic striking.

STRIKING

Striking is actually what comes less naturally to us as humans. We have a proclivity towards wrestling, exhibited through how kids do so even in regions with no wrestling culture, but striking is a sport that goes against every sliver of human reflex. Luckily, because of this fact, you can achieve a lot more with having a bit of striking knowledge. Moreover, striking exchanges between two relatively untrained or untrained people is the situation in which weight/strength advantages have the least influence.

Throwing straight punches is the most unassumingly simple way to win a small striking exchange. I'm not going to sit here and explain to you the rotational mechanics of throwing a hook, cross, etc, since that is redundant and impossible to do without being physically present. But, if you notice in any of these fight videos, the individuals who throw a semi-straight punch is who lands and ultimately wins. Don't throw wild haymakers, you will terribly miss, lose balance, you won't be throwing hard regardless, and you will lose. Throw straight punches at the person's face. Forget about hitting them hard, focus on hitting them. Power means practically nothing in these low skill fights. If you notice, whoever lands a flush punch first primarily wins, no matter how pitty-patter it seems.

Let's reiterate to earlier. Haymakers are the most common punches thrown in a street fighting. Wild, uncoordinated swings. There are two counters to this attack.

1. Short Distance: If your opponent is extremely close to you and throwing wild, uncoordinated swings, you can respond with a horizontal elbow. Elbow strikes are a favorite of mine since untrained fighters aren't used to them or maybe don't even know they exist. It is also incredibly easier to throw more power with an elbow, they are much more resilient and sharper than your knuckles. Simply aim your elbow and swing up at the opponent's face. This technique honestly keeps your base balanced, (you aren't swinging your whole body across), and will cause a lot of damage.

2. Move out the fucking way: This goes without saying, if they are really out of range, just step back jfl. This way, your opponent will meaninglessly expend energy throwing useless punches, lose their fucking balance, and even if you have the worst hands, you can simply counter them while they are flailing about.

Kicking is something inexperienced practitioners should avoid. Your balance and base are the two most important things as a beginner, and you will give this up in a kick. Ofc, if I'm fighting, I'd chew up someone's calf or thigh with kicks, but this would be such a bad idea for someone who doesn't know how to. You may slip and fall on your ass, have your kick caught, or worst yet, your dumbass will drop your hands and get rocked trying to do your best Alex Pereira impression.

GRAPPLING

This is the fun part for me tbh. Grappling is a great way to get your opponent to the ground and beat their face bloody. As inexperienced practitioners, position is what matters. I've submitted high level grapplers for money before, but I would absolutely never attempt a submission in a street fight. Once again, DO NOT GRAPPLE IN SITUATIONS WHERE OTHERS MAY BE INVOLVED OR THE SURFACE IS ROUGH, ELEVATION CHANGES, ETC.

Drawing back to the positional aspect, ALWAYS BE ON TOP. Anything you do must be with the intent of maintaining top control which is the single greatest advantage in a street fight. Being on top allows for the possibilities for ground and pound, aka elbowing and punching tf out of the opponent.

Okay, so we understood to only stay on the top and not attempt or try anything that involves leg entanglements, getting to bottom etc. But how do we achieve top position in the first place.

Let's discuss takedowns. Takedowns are the reason why Caucasian inbreds are the best fighters in the world and the reason you'll save face at your next bar fight. First thing we need to understand is the art of getting grips. Grips will play into the next segment of the guide as well, but in the context of takedowns, grips are the single most important thing. There will be some grips you will be able to get no matter what, such as grabbing your opponent's neck, wrist, tricep area, or lat. Think of these areas as the holding points of how you push and pull, sort of like body levers. Pushing and pulling aimlessly actually works on the street pretty well since most people are uncoordinated asf.

Some grips may come as a result of clothing. If your opponent has a collar, GRAB IT. Now that we have discussed the grips we could potentially get, let's discuss how we fit them into doing actual takedowns.

1. The double leg: This is my favorite. There are several ways to do it and achieve it, but get leverage over some part of your opponent's lower body BELOW THEIR HIPS, and DRIVE FORWARD. Bonus points, drive them forward but to the left or right. This is a poor man's double leg and is a simple way to get them down. If you are a bigger or strong guy, you could pick the opponent up and slam them, instead of driving them down. Just make sure you aren't throwing yourself down with them.
2. The shitty street fight toss/sweep: Grab onto their collar or head, pull them in a direction while also tripping them or putting some sort of mechanical diversion onto their legs in order to cause them to lose balance. Do this with confidence and intention, and they will stumble. Seize the opportunity to either throw punches or keep trying to drive them to the ground while they are unbalanced.

Okay, I got to the ground. What tf now? Simple. Hit them. Stomp, elbow, punch, slap, do whatever you feel necessary to rain down strikes. Have at it, the fight is won at this point.
