Ground Fighting is hand-to-hand combat which takes place while the combatants are on the ground, generally involving a degree of grappling. The term is commonly used in martial arts and combat sports to designate the set of techniques employed by a combatant that is on the ground, as opposed to techniques employed in stand-up fighting. Martial arts and combat sports (ie UFC or MMA) that emphasize ground fighting include Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Wrestling, Krav Maga, etc.
