Grappling / No Gi

Grappling is a fighting discipline based on grabs, projections, joint locks and chokes as well as a lack of blows. In 2006, Grappling was incorporated by the former International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles or FILA (now known as United World Wrestling or UWW) as a wrestling style and it is also known as Submission Wrestling or No Gi. It can be considered as a hybrid art between Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Olympic Wrestling with the goal of controlling an opponent and forcing them to admit that they can't break loose without injuring themselves.

For the practice of Grappling, these items are normally required:

• Grappling shorts: they must allow for great mobility and provide low friction with the ground.
• Lycra top (Rashguard) an essential garment for a more hygienic grappling.
• Mouthguard this item will make you save a lot of money on the dentist.
• Other protectors: such as ear and knee guards, as well as groin cups.
