Wrestling, Submission Grappling and Gi Jiu Jitsu | You-Jitsu #13

October 21, 2022

Sharing some feedback I gave on the r/bjj sub on @Reddit where someone asked about the difference between wrestling and submission grappling. Below is my summary and in this episode is a little history about how freestyle wrestling was integrated into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)


  • Wrestling: takedowns, throws and control to pin your opponent
  • Submission Grappling (No Gi): Wrestling + joint locks and chokes to submit your opponent
  • Gi Jiu Jitsu: Wrestling + Submission Grappling + Pajamas to submit your opponent

Always remember...


BREATHE. FRAME. SURVIVE.
