GrappleArts has a great article on different ways to get up when you're on the ground and your opponent stands before you.
I cover the topic in my book as well and demonstrate a number of attacks you can do against a standing opponent. Check out two moves from many that I teach.

| The Side Kick |
Below is an excerpt of the GrappleArts article where you can INSERT the Sweep and Side Kick from the ground that I demonstrate above.
Technique 2 – Basic standup versus an opponent
In this technique your opponent is standing over you. You are
keeping him at bay by lying on your back and bicycle kicking his legs
and body, but you can’t stand up because that would give him a great
opportunity to punch or kick you.
What can you do?
The answer is that you need to do three things simultaneously:
you need to stand up, AND you need to keep at least one hand up
protecting you, AND you need move backwards to create enough room to be
safe from your opponent’s strikes. You need to do these three things
all at the same time.
This technique is an application of the solo standup drill shown earlier.

| Stephan has been knocked down… |
 |
| Keeping his eyes on his attacker he comes up onto one elbow |
INSERT SWEEP OR SIDE KICK HERE...
 |
| Now he comes up onto his hand, shielding his face with the other arm |
 |
| He lifts his hips and shifts forward, kicking the knee to make space |
...OR HERE.
 |
| Stephan retracts the kicking leg underneath his body… |
 |
| And comes up to a fighting stance. |
