Many physical confrontations naturally transition to the ground, where controlling an opponent becomes more efficient than in a standing exchange. In submission grappling, the focus is on taking the fight to the ground to secure dominant positions and ultimately force an opponent to submit. This is accomplished through strategic use of leverage, positional control, and applying submission holds with precision.

​

Submission grapplers gain an in-depth understanding of human anatomy and its limitations, using this knowledge to control their opponent and execute submissions effectively. The path to mastery is both mentally and physically demanding, but the benefits are vast: increased strength and endurance, sharpened decision-making abilities, greater self-awareness, and a strong sense of camaraderie developed through training with dedicated teammates. Although similar to BJJ, grappling is done without a gi (kimono).
