Captain Obvious! Striking as your only option isn't fantastic either.
Cross training is essential. Anti-grappling is the stupidest thing in the world.

The wc guy was stepping back therefore taking his momentum the wrong way and floating. There was no rooting. The attack defence at 36 secs when he tried to control the head looked better than others but this did not look well executed. Mma guys slam for fun and can even do so at close range giving less time to react. Practitioners need to learn essence in martial arts (I don't do wc) and im still learning my trade.
Mma guys who just counter by grabbing around the attackers back don't fair any better tho they are easier to lift as centre of gravity too far forward when they bend forward. They play in to their opponents hands. If u do tcma don't fight mma with mma or u will lose.
Just my observation
Well it's more the observation that a) that is the worst takedown attempt I have ever seen b) he is not a wrestler, therefore knows nothing about wrestling, therefore cannot take people down in wrestling fashion c) against a wrestler that will never work, because of the major training flaws of a and b.
That had to honestly be some of the worst take downs i have seen in awhile. That was like getting the legs and then stopping. The guy didn't dog through and follow up with the take downs. He didn't change levels properly, his face was looking at the ground, his back was lurched forward. Proper take down on a single is the spine is vertical. So for some guy to be stating he's defending the takedown, he better get someone who knows what one is to try against.

You can always tell when someone doesn't know how to shoot when they gallop from ten feet away with their head down.

That's what you get when you have a chunner attempting a takedown......so much fail. Good analysis by dragonz, and iron eagle right on no one in their right mind shoots from that far. The best shoots are from close range.
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
The example you've given for anti-grappling is a terrible one. Many people think striking or grappling is good enough for self-defense. This thread has an important topic and that's why others have contributed great opinions on it. I am talking about people who train in grappling and actually are good at getting out of takedowns. Not some lame WC'ers who are doing some very fake takedowns. I'm not saying WC is lame, just that the video provided is not an example of real anti-grappling.
The only way to learn to defend a take down is to train them. Learn the correct way to preform and defend. Learn grip fighting, sprawls ect. And train against a resisting competent partner
i personally dont like the term 'anti grappling'. (to me that implies you are looking for grappling defenses without having to understand grappling, since you are 'anti grappling') there are grappling defenses for specific situations/techniques to be sure, and not all include grappling but most do. the best defense against most all grappling scenarios is generally going to be grappling itself.
