Grappling is like a giant hugging contest between two people, but instead of trying to show love, they're trying to get the upper hand by using strength, technique, and leverage. It's like when you and your friends play tug-of-war, but instead of a rope, you're trying to push, pull or manipulate your opponent to get them into a position where they can't move or defend themselves. This is often done by trying to get a hold on the other person's body with your arms or legs, like wrapping your arms around their waist or locking your legs around their neck. Once you have a good hold, you can use your strength and leverage to move your opponent where you want them or even make them submit by tapping out, which means they give up because they can't take it anymore.
Grappling can be dangerous if you're not careful, so it's important to learn from experienced coaches and always use safety gear like mats and protective equipment. It takes a lot of practice, patience, and discipline to become good at grappling, but it can also be fun and rewarding to learn a new skill and compete against others who share your passion.
