Ne-waza is a term used in martial arts, particularly in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, referring to ground techniques and grappling. It encompasses various movements, including holds, submissions, and positional control, allowing practitioners to gain an advantage over their opponents while on the ground. In Ne-waza, fighters aim to use leverage and technique rather than brute strength to control or submit their opponent. This aspect of grappling emphasizes skill development, strategy, and the ability to transition between different positions, making it a crucial component of many combat sports.
