Mixed Martial Arts / Re: How to body slam someone for self defense?
« on: July 15, 2018, 12:36:25 pm »isn't a body slam the move they do on wrestling where the guy is lying on the ground and he jumps off the ropes and directs his belly/chest on the opponent guys chest.
nah, that's a dive bomb.
body slam is where you grab someone (bear hug style usually) and just slam them into the ground.

my inexperienced 2 cents regarding bringing a guy down to the ground would be to have your hands up ready to deflect his attacks and to grab either his arms, head whatever it takes to control him and bring him to the ground.
i avoid the ground at all costs, last place I want to be. safest place to be is standing IMHO, well especially for a boxer-type, but even in general. Going to the ground can get really messy.
