Some of my fights WILL go to the ground, I am comfortable with that, but I definately prefer to stay standing or get back on to my feet if I have my way. How about you...do you work your stances, sprawling, takedowns, clears and breaks, etc enough that you can confidently get in to it with someone that wants to go to the ground, and still stay standing or make them sorry that they got close to you in the first place? (general question)
