In order to be able to “fight” effectively you have to train for all phases, stand up, ground fighting, and transitions between the two because a fight will put you in one of the latter three scenarios.
Krav Maga Worldwide self-defense classes and fight classes teach all of these skills and build them in our students. We teach students to use punches, kicks, knees and elbows to fight in stand-up fighting. Ground fighting techniques involve fundamental positioning, getting up safely, escapes from pins and mounts, reversals (or sweeps), establishing dominant positions, and some submissions and joint locks. In the transition phase we focus on executing fundamental throws and takedowns as well as defending against those techniques.
