To all the mma/strikers in the community,
What sorts of concepts/drills/techniques do you recommend if I want to work on getting up from the ground without getting kicked? I’m not a trained striker but I like to experiment with different scenarios and so I’d like to work on standing up from the ground while avoiding getting kicked. Distancing is an obvious answer, but if there is no space (due to cage or wall) what do you suggest?

i'd say put you in the spot with protective gear
in that situation i protect myself the best i can and wait him to close distance to strike, this is where i work my ground....not standing up till it's safe to do it

You tie up and kick away / sweep attempt first and then stand up while they are regaining their balance.

Clinch or unbalance, then get up. We've been working these situations in MMA grappling. It's super simple, but you have to take certain steps to make it happen.

I was thinking of trying to check kicks by kicking their legs first and then trying to grab legs and get into x guard or slx, but I will have to try it out.

If you are crowded against the cage, learn how to tie up and wall walk your way back up to your feet!

Leg-body asymmetrical guards such as DLR or SLX or X in general are worse for MMA because they allow for easier head access on one side.

Ah interesting point. Thank you sir. This is important insight. I’ll try to post some videos of my attempts. I’m not aiming to be an mma fighter but even having some competence in this scenario I feel could be helpful

I used to stand using technical standing technique (levantada tecnica) keeping one leg out the ground and check kicks by kicking their legs or even their knees. This is a drill you can train every class during warm up.

How often do you train striking in your gym? We do a combatives/MMA type training -3 times per week, but we do this mostly for our fighters, but all are welcome to do the training.
Wall walking is essential when backed up to any hard object/surface. Most street type fighters will try to punt kick you, as that is the only thing they know how to do. If you train with that in mind, you can create very reasonable ways to stand up.

In the gyms I train at they don’t do it at all. They mostly focus on bjj comp training.
Yes the soccer punt is what I’m worried about.
It so far sounds like a refinement in timing. I’ll take a swing at this

Grab some guys, shin pads, a mouthpiece, and give it a go, That is probably the best way to "figure it out" so to speak.

Technical stand up or wall walk. Wall walk is key, very wrestling heavy.
