Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes getting an opponent to the ground in order to utilize ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint-locks and chokeholds. The premise is that most of the advantage of a larger, stronger opponent originates from superior reach and much more powerful strikes, jiu jitsu training both that are somewhat negated when grappling on the ground.
BJJ permits a wide variety of techniques to just take the fight to the ground after going for a grip. After the opponent is on a lawn, a number of maneuvers (and counter-maneuvers) are available to control the opponent in to a suitable position for the application of a submission technique. Achieving a dominant position on a lawn is one of the hallmarks of the ju jitsu, and includes effective use of the guard position to defend oneself from bottom, and passing the guard to dominate from top position with side get a grip on, mount, and back mount positions. This method of maneuvering and manipulation can be likened to a type of kinetic chess when used by two experienced practitioners. A submission hold is the equivalent of checkmate in the sport, reflecting a disadvantage which may be acutely difficult to overcome in a fight (such as a dislocated joint or unconsciousness).
