Grappling arts
Grappling arts are martial disciplines focused on controlling or defeating an opponent through techniques like holds, locks, throws, and submissions, often without striking. They emphasize skillful leverage, positioning, and technique to overpower or incapacitate an opponent. Common styles include Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, wrestling, and sambo. These arts are practical for self-defense, sport competition, and physical conditioning, and they require strategic thinking and body mechanics. Grappling arts foster a deep understanding of body movement and balance, making them effective tools for personal safety and athletic development.
