Grappling is a type of hand-to-hand combat that focuses on gaining control over an opponent through techniques like holds, locks, throws, and joint manipulation. Unlike striking-based martial arts (such as boxing or kickboxing), grappling emphasizes controlling and neutralizing the opponent without the need for punches or kicks. It is commonly seen in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), wrestling, judo, and other submission-based martial arts. In grappling, athletes work to take their opponent to the ground, maintain dominant positions, and apply submission holds that can force an opponent to submit (tap out). Grappling is not just about strength; it involves technique, leverage, timing, and strategy. It is widely used in mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions and self-defense situations. The goal in grappling is often to immobilize or submit the opponent, either by controlling their body or applying painful joint locks and chokeholds.
