Ground fighting techniques refer to a set of skills used in martial arts and self-defense that focus on combat when both opponents are on the ground. These techniques include grappling, submissions, and positional control, allowing a fighter to gain an advantage over their opponent. Common styles that emphasize ground fighting include Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Sambo. Practitioners learn to defend against attacks while on the ground and to execute maneuvers that can lead to a dominant position or submission. Ground fighting is essential in mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions, where fighters must be proficient in both standing and ground techniques to succeed.
