what is grappling?

1 answer

Grappling is a martial art or combat sport that involves techniques of controlling or gaining an advantage over an opponent through holds, throws, and pins. It typically focuses on ground fighting and may include various forms of wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), judo, and submission wrestling. The goal of grappling can be to subdue an opponent, gain a superior position, or force them to submit through joint locks or chokeholds. Grappling can be practiced in both sport and self-defense contexts and often emphasizes leverage, body mechanics, and strategy rather than striking.
