Submission Grappling is a dynamic and fast-growing combat sport that combines elements of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and other martial arts to create a highly technical and strategic form of competition. As we approach the much-anticipated ADCC 2024, interest in Submission Grappling is at an all-time high. In this blog post, we’ll delve into what Submission Grappling is, highlight the upcoming ADCC 2024 event, and showcase how Athlas Training Team can help you or your child excel in this exciting sport.
What is Submission Grappling?
Submission Grappling, also known as no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, is a style of martial arts that focuses on ground fighting with the goal of submitting the opponent using various holds, locks, and chokes. Unlike traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which is practiced in a gi (a kimono-like uniform), is performed without a gi, allowing for a more fluid and versatile range of movements.
Key Elements of Submission Grappling:
- No-Gi Attire: Practitioners wear shorts and rash guards instead of the traditional gi.
- Techniques: Emphasis on submissions such as arm locks, leg locks, and chokes.
- Takedowns and Throws: Borrowing techniques from wrestling and judo to bring the opponent to the ground.
- Control and Positioning: Strategies to dominate the opponent’s position and transition smoothly between moves.
