Tips on how to stand up when you're on the ground?

[Dave_S]

I do this to people sometimes, and it happens to me.

When one fighter is on the canvas and the other is standing it seems like an ax kick can almost always knock someone down if they are in the process of standing up.

Anyone have tips on standing up and avoiding axe kicks?

Patience. Just block one and get up immediatly. If they specifically wait for you to start getting up to do it then just don't do anything and block your body. Ref should stand you up eventually. Although I haven't had that yet as most lose patience and try to hit me with an axe kick anyway.

Not gonna lie i'll do this on purpose and try to time it so they fall back down. Makes me laugh too much. I actually got a KO off this once. Guy stood up fell back down fight was over.

Yeah its too fun to axe kick somebody and watch them flop around. I don't care if somebody does it back to me. I caused a health event the other day off one.

This is the best thing ever. I had an american guy talking mad **** on his mic the other evening and I managed to trip him then just played "Axekickball" with him, bouncing him up and down all over the cage.

I've also had a KO from this, as said above the guy stood up and then clutched his body and dropped back down again.

My buddy got a KO off this the other day while I was over at his place. It was a bit different though.

He was pretty much just spamming this guys body, and eventually he got a knockdown with a flying body knee. The opponent fell to the ground with his body bright red, and then my buddy dropped one of these Axe kicks right away and got the KO off it.

The opponent didn't stand up and fall over though, he stayed on the ground, and actually threw his arms back, as if his head got KOd. It was pretty funny though.
