ground and pound

Top position assault

Ground and pound is a fighting strategy, especially in mixed martial arts, where a fighter takes an opponent to the ground and delivers repeated strikes from a dominant top position.

The technique combines wrestling control with boxing or elbow strikes: He secured the takedown and finished with ground and pound.

The phrase sometimes describes any relentless, methodical attack.
