You do realize that Dishuquan has a very different definition of ground fighting in comparison to BJJ? You would probably be the one to go to the ground first with the intention of bringing your opponent with you. Example, someone throws a punch (of course). A Dishuquan response would be to grab the arm, fall back to the ground (pulling your opponent foward and down) and either kick to the knee or groin. Of course since youve seen these videos you should know that.
If you really want to learn your ground game like MMA, I reccomend that you either practice wrestling with people (and often) or learn to use your qinna on the ground (and practice often).

To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the highest skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the highest skill.
