The premise is that a lot of of the advantage of a larger, stronger opponent arises from superior reach and more powerful strikes, jiu jitsu training both which are notably negated when grappling on a lawn.

BJJ permits numerous techniques to just take the fight to the ground after taking a grip. Once the opponent is on the ground, a number of maneuvers (and counter-maneuvers) can be found to manipulate the opponent in to a suitable position for the application of a submission technique. Achieving a dominant position on the floor is among the hallmarks of the ju jitsu, and includes effective utilization of the guard position to defend oneself from bottom, and passing the guard to dominate from top position with side control, mount, and right back mount positions. This method of maneuvering and manipulation could be likened to a form of kinetic chess when utilized by two experienced practitioners. A submission hold may be the exact carbon copy of checkmate in the sport, reflecting a disadvantage which may be exceptionally difficult to over come in a fight (such as a dislocated joint or unconsciousness).
