Found something interesting on the net, that you guys might enjoy:
Groundwork
Some people say that ground fighting is just like stand up fighting -- untrue. It's much harder. I spent years in judo and some time in BJJ and will state, everyone needs direct and simple training to deal with the ground -- especially getting up fast,and that was the theme here. The same exceptional crew, Christian and Johnny, taught the groundwork. The emphasis was "never go to the ground if you don't have to." There are so many more variables on the ground; you could hurt yourself with glass or metal, your attacker could have several friends jump on you, etc., all essential elements were taught.
You can read all about it over here:
