Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is based upon grappling and ground fighting with the aim of gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force submission. It has the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully grapple against a bigger and stronger assailant.
The advantage of a larger, stronger opponent comes from superior reach and more powerful strikes, both of which are negated if on the ground. BJJ includes many techniques to throw or drag opponents to the ground using the hips and shoulders.
Once the opponent is on the ground, a number of skills manipulate the opponent into suitable position for the application of a submission hold. Achieving a dominant position on the ground is one of the hallmarks of the BJJ style, and includes effective use of the guard position to defend oneself from bottom, and passing the guard to dominate from top position with side control, mount, and back mount positions.
The majority of submission holds can be grouped into two broad categories: joint locks and chokes. Joint locks typically involve isolating an opponent's limb to force the joint to move beyond its normal range of motion and signals defeat by submitting.
