Can't say I particularly enjoyed ground fighting, but it's fascinating how you can use your opponents force against them. It's appeared to lie in the redirection of force, as opposed to blocking or deflection. Great article – I trained in Hapkido for 4 years, and learned a bit of Jiu-Jitsu along the way.
