From The Ground Up

A groundfighting program designed to tackle the omnipresent self-protection dilemma of ending up on the ground during an altercation. FTGU systematically prioritizes the tools realistically required to get up from the ground during an affray when your attacker seeks to hold you there. FTGU is a three-tiered affiliate program that bridges the gap between being told it is imperative "to get back up" and how to actually accomplish that in real time.

FTGU uses the best of wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, with an emphasis on re-prioritizing the "goals" for groundfighting, as opposed to the goals for protracted grappling. Essentially, FTGU is the absent modality for Krav Maga practitioners that do not want a sport based grappling program, while recognizing "the need to get wet, in order to not drown."
