Submission grappling is a form of martial arts that focuses on gaining control over an opponent and forcing them to submit through joint locks or chokeholds. It combines techniques from various disciplines, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and judo. Practitioners aim to outmaneuver their opponents on the ground, using leverage and technique rather than brute strength.
In submission grappling, competitors typically wear comfortable clothing like rash guards and shorts, allowing for freedom of movement. Matches can take place in a controlled environment, such as a dojo or mat area, where safety is prioritized. The goal is to demonstrate skill and strategy while minimizing the risk of injury.
