A grappling position (also referred to as the positioning of two combatants) refers the relative positions and holds of two combatants engaged in grappling. If combatants are standing, it is called a stand-up grappling position and if they are on the ground it is called a ground grappling position. A combatant is said to be in a dominant position if he or she is in favourable position compared to his or her opponent in terms of pinning, scoring points, submitting, striking, attempting a takedown or throwing. Note however that when a particular position such as the mount or bear hug is referred to as being a dominant position, it means that one of the combatants is in a dominant position. A combatant is said to be in a neutral position if none of the combatants is in a favourable position. A combatant is said to be in an inferior position if the other combatant is in a favourable position.

- In a Brazilian jiu-jitsu grappling match, one grappler is holding the other grappler in an open guard. The open guard allows the bottom grappler to attempt a multitude of submission holds, while the top grapplers priority is to advance in position. The open guard is hence a dominant position. The bottom grappler is in a dominant position while the top grappler is in an inferior position.
