Please help me out. I’m tired of being taken down. I wanna learn how to keep my fights and matches standing. What are some basics i need to remember when defending against someone with grappling knowledge and good takedowns.
COME WITH ME DEFEAT GRAPPLING

you must be properly rooted. How much stance training do you do? Obviously not enough if you’re still being taken down.
chi gung and standing meditation…
real answer in a minute…
lower your level like in football… stop their forward momentum and get your hips out and back… try and get a good underhook on one of their arms and try to reidrect or raise their level… all i can think of at the moment that i can put into words…
i see i see. So intead of taking a full blown frontal attack i should try to redirect their line of fire.
Anything else?

Ask a High School wrestler. I’m sure they would know better than us Kung Fu geeks. We all spend too much time on our 1-ton kicks.
Wait - so you should lower your center of gravity and lean toward them in such a way that their forward momentum is holding you up instead of knocking you down, then widen your base (or root, if you prefer) so that a sideways takedown becomes more difficult?
This sounds suspiciously like kungfu. And the result of good stance training.
I been working on anti-grappling footwork. If he gets to close i back roll or cartwheel left or right. If he clinches high i throw a straight right to the chest to intercept his momentum.
Sprawl
Lateral movement

I don’t recommend the back roll, however. You’ll get a lot more milage with a backward handspring that lets you hit 'em with a rising toe kick to the jaw as you flip.
brandish a knife.
i don’t wanna kill the person. If i wanted to do that i would just use some of the techniques my instructor tells me to keep in my bag of tricks for a rainy day.
Specifically, learn and practice these things:
Knowing when someone is withen your various kill ranges
Drawing your knife and throwing it while stepping off the line of attack.
Drawing your knife and throwing it and drawing another knife or weapon.
Drawing your knife and attacking with it from a variety of superior and inferior positions.
Evading the law.
If you dont need to kill the person why are you fighting?
You only kill on rainy days?

In that case, I suggest you do a flying arm bar.

Holey Moley that’s bad advice! Rooting? No,no. You need to move to avoid being taken down (maybe I’m misinterpreting ‘root’). Movement is the key.
