What is Grappling?
Grappling encompasses the foundation of arts such as wrestling, judo, sambo, and especially Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which enables you to gain control over an opponent through holds, takedowns, joint locks, pins, and submissions.
Jiu-jitsu grappling is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, known for emphasizing leverage, technique, and strategy over size and strength.
