Grappling
Grappling is a relatively new type of martial art, which combines different techniques of wrestling disciplines and an emphasis on the use of painful and suffocating techniques. Thanks to this, grappling has become especially popular in MMA and is increasingly being chosen for self-defense, as it allows you to defeat the opponent, even if he is superior in weight and size.
What is grappling?
Grappling is a system of wrestling techniques, which is characterized by short throws, grabs and a complete absence of strikes. It differs from other martial disciplines in the fact that victory does not depend on the use of striking or throwing techniques, as in boxing or judo, but through the use of strangulation or painful techniques that force the opponent to surrender. Grappling combines the following types of martial arts:
- Brazilian jiu-jitsu
- Judo
- Sambo
- Fight
Grappling is especially effective when facing an opponent who uses a striking technique, since most of the maneuvers are based on defending against a hit by taking the opponent to the ground.

Benefits of Grappling Training
In grappling, the winner is not the one who is physically stronger or larger, but the one who knows how to correctly use his strength and technique. Some benefits of grappling are:
- Physical development. Working on the ground requires a lot of muscle strength, so after a few weeks of training, you will notice that you have become stronger, and your body is muscular and fit.
- Development of speed and coordination. Grappling teaches you how to strike and how to fall safely. Already in the first training session, you will learn a set of exercises that will teach you how to fall safely, and use the position on the ground to dominate your opponent.
- Getting self-defense skills. Regular training will allow you to effectively defend against a surprise attack on the street, even from an opponent superior in weight and size.
- Self-confidence. Grappling, being a combat sport, will force you to leave your comfort zone and fight to overcome your fears. When you know you can stand up for yourself, you will be confident in the gym and in situations of everyday life.
