Submission Grappling

From OTMWiki

'Submission wrestling' (also called 'Grappling', submission fighting and technically referred to as submission grappling) is a wrestling style and a general term describing the aspect of martial arts and combat sports (without kimono/GI) that focus on clinch and ground fighting with the aim of obtaining a submission using submission holds. Grappling (wrestling style) brings together techniques from freestyle wrestling, brazilian jiu-jitsu, catch wrestling and sambo. Submission grappling as an element of a larger sport setting is very common in mixed martial arts, brazilian jiu-jitsu no-Gi, pankration, catch wrestling, shootfighting, shooto and others.

Submission Wrestling can be trained for self defense, sport and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition.

Mixed martial arts schools and fighters may use the term "submission wrestling" to refer to their grappling methods while avoiding association with any one art. Submission wrestling is also sometimes used to describe the tactic in mixed martial arts competition which largely revolves around using submission wrestling skills to defeat an opponent.
