Our training has returned to some well-needed ground work once again. I found a video while looking at some other stuff that really stood out and I think is worth our review. It particularly drives home a lessons which should be thoroughly understood.
Control and movement of your own hips is crucial in a fight, regardless of the range: striking, midrange, or grappling.

This video is of Rener Gracie grappling with his hands tied against a purple belt. Although this is not a full on street fight, I cannot help but be impressed with Rener's master level skill at movement of his hips in response to his opponent's attempts at control and position.
Seeing what is possible at the top levels has always helped me improve, and hopefully it will do the same for you.
Incidentally, I came across this video after finding the Gracie method for dealing with multiple attackers. Such a claim piqued my interest and I was dying to hear their answer to this problem. I'll let you look that one up for yourself. :-)
