Submission wrestling is a form of grappling that focuses on controlling an opponent and forcing them to submit through joint locks or chokeholds. It combines techniques from various martial arts, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Catch Wrestling. The goal is to gain a dominant position and apply a submission hold, leading to a victory without striking. Competitions in submission wrestling can take place in a variety of formats, often on mats or in a cage. Athletes wear minimal clothing, such as rash guards and shorts, to allow for mobility. This sport emphasizes technique, strategy, and physical conditioning, making it popular among martial artists and fitness enthusiasts alike.
