What is Submission Grappling?

Submission Grappling is a combat sport, it is a grappling based, individual, positional domination game. The goal is to advance your body into your opponent’s territory and assert positional dominance, points are awarded for positional advancement and control. Finally, once the opponent is under control a submission hold can be applied forcing the opponent to concede the match. Each match has a time-limit, once reached without a submission the opponent with the most points is declared the winner.

What is Jiu Jitsu?

Jiu jitsu is the philosophy that is used by many submission grappling practitioners. It promotes the concept of using the minimum effort for the maximum results. Efficient technical ability is considered the most important aspect. Development on this path has shown that smaller weaker person can defeat a larger stronger individual.
