Submission wrestling is the fastest growing martial art of this generation. Its is constantly on display in the biggest arenas such as the UFC where unstoppable tyrants like Connor McGregor fall to a seemingly effortless display of ground prowess by Khabib Nurmagomedov, who uses a combination of takedowns, pins, back takes and submission holds to tap out his opponents. Grappling is recognised worldwide as an elite form of martial-arts that is respected throughout the community.
Grappling, at first, looks like a mess of entangled bodies with no clear objective to an uneducated eye. The reality is however, a cerebral game of creating traps for your opponents, testing their wits against yours. Your limitations are not defined by your strength, athleticism or weight, but instead your ability to understand the challenge in front and what is needed to overcome them. Grappling and BJJ are the only sports to deploy an open weight category where smaller opponents can challenge themselves against the heaviest of weights. These matches are often fascinating to watch and draw the largest of crowds as they observe the clinical precision needed for a smaller person to win, and frequently, they do.

This is the reason why BJJ has a strong comradery within its community and every practitioner appears so passionate, always reading up on the latest developments within the sport.
