Being offensive makes you incredibly vulnerable if you don't know what you're trying to accomplish. You will move awkwardly, leave limbs wide open, and probably be off balanced.

If you don't know what you're doing it's safer to just defend and try to stand up than to try and go offensive on the ground.
