Which of the following is a ground technique?

• A. Base get up
• B. Full Guard Position
• C. Side Mount
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Ground techniques are moves used when you and a subject are on the ground, aimed at controlling, restraining, or disengaging safely. The base get up is a method to move from the ground back to a standing position while preserving balance and control, which is essential to protect yourself and create space. The full guard position is a bottom-ground control method where you wrap your legs around the opponent to control their posture and limit their ability to advance. Side mount is a top-ground control position that uses leverage and weight to keep the opponent on their side and prevent escape.

Since all of these actions are performed on the ground to maintain control or escape from a risky situation, they are all ground techniques. Therefore, the best choice is all of the above.
