One of the problems a lot of martial arts practitioners don’t realize is most fights end up on the ground. Thus, a lack of knowledge of groundfighting can be, well, fatal.

I think a good start to designing a combat program is to go to those ultimate fighting championship websites and read the rules. Find out what’s prohibited, and design the curriculum around that. I’ve studied two different taekwondo styles and have all the belts to show for it, and the self training I’ve done in the “illegal” techniques, I think, will be more efficient.
