I want to get some input on what you might do after you throw someone
in a "street" situation. Judo style throw.

Run like the wind.

[sapphire tygre]

Yeah, but what if you're with somebody who can't run fast? leave 'em
behind?

If I am with someone that needs to rely on my protection I will avoid those dangerous places.

Besides my Wife is also trained in MA.

Reminds me of a joke:

two guys are planning a hiking trip through bear country. One is buying really good hiking boots, the other running shoes. The one buying boots says to the other:

"You can't outrun a bear"

the other replies:

"I don't have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you."

But, if you are in a situation where you cannnot confidently escape, then you must consider finishing the fight.

An opponent on the ground is a target rich environment.

It isn't about who is right, it's about who is left.

You do what you have to do to survive.

I wouls always say run however given that you are after a more offensive move...

Let's assume you pull off a hip throw (or similar) - if you keep control of the arm you can go to the knee ride position, get your grips and start with the pounding.

Personally, I'd be running...FAST!!

If there's anyone else you can see in the area, run like fuck for the nearest secure place.

If there ain't, throw a boot party.

I'm impressed! I was expecting to see all these macho-type responses. Pleasantly everyone seems to have what I think is the best response. Get yourself out of there, ASAP!

Peace,

What would I do after I put someone on the ground?

Stomp on his face. Stomp on his neck. Stomp on his genitals. Pick up a heavy object and drop in on his head.

[Water Dragon]

Stick your knife in them. You do have a knife, don't you?

[Lowlynobody]

Break their pinky and poke them in the eye....

In all seriousness you cant rule out continuing your attack on the assailant after you've thrown him. What if he isnt hurt enough and has the ability to get back up? Running at that point may not be a good option if he can run faster than you. So then you may have to kick his teeth out of his head. Another example would be you throw him and then he starts drawing a weapon. Again, running may not be a good idea so you may have attack him again. The rule I generally go by is to attack your attacker until he cant hurt you anymore.

Be careful a rule like this can end up in jail-time or worse for you.

It all sounds nice and cool till the cops come a-knockin.

I would run like hell. Really.

Now if I had someone that could not run with me fast, and I had to finish, I would most likely seek to kick or stomp on their knees and ankles. Then I would run. If there is debris like dirt around, I grab a handful of that too to throw in their eyes. Anything that makes chasing me harder.

I do not want them to be able to effectively chase me or mine, if they are down.

Attacking your attacker is a sound strategy to survive a combat situation. Unfortunately if your life is on the line you wont have much time to worry about what the police may do to you if you survive. Nor should you care at that moment. Your only goal should be to take him/them out before they seriously harm you or kill you. You are going to have to act and act quickly and as aggressively as possible. This is especially true if weapons are involved. Personally my physical survival is of the utmost importance.
