The floor isn't where you want to be ... but if a fight goes to the ground, you need to be prepared for ugly consequences. That's the issue addressed by Marc MacYoung in this book. Floor fighting does not mean putting your opponent in some kind of "hold" and lying there, waiting to be kicked by his friends. That's where submission fighting will take you if you try to apply it in a street brawl. Understanding the difference between "grappling" and floor work will determine if you get out with a few bruises and scratches or major life-threatening injuries.

"There's a difference between grappling and floor fighting," says Marc MacYoung.

MacYoung also shows why commonly taught grappling techniques that work well on the mat can spell disaster in the back alley or on the barroom floor. This tape is definitely not about grappling, submission fighting or mixed martial arts.
