The ground is the most dangerous place to be.
If you end up on the ground in an attack or fight, especially if the assailant is still standing, you are at a disadvantage and can get seriously hurt by getting kicked. Or, you could come in contact with other physical dangers like broken glass or other sharp objects while on the ground.
So in Krav Maga, we try to stay on our feet.
If we do get knocked to the ground, we need to get up quickly and safely. There are several ways of doing so - this video shows one way.
