Grappling is a form of combat that focuses on techniques like holds, joint locks, and submissions to control or defeat an opponent without striking. It draws from various martial arts, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, judo, and sambo. The goal is to gain a dominant position or force the opponent to submit through joint manipulations or chokeholds. Grappling is widely practiced in both competitive and self-defense settings, known for its technical depth, strategy, and emphasis on leverage and body control.
