Dumog, which literally means "brawl", is a general term used to describe the Filipino art of wrestling and grappling. There are two types of Dumog: the Agaw Patid Buno and the Musang Dumog. The former is the more commonly known form of Dumog that consists of standup grappling and wrestling, utilising off-balancing techniques, throws, and neck turning to force an opponent to the ground. Traditionally opponents would engage by holding a belt or encircling each other's waist and attempt to throw and unbalance each other. Victory was declared when the opponent's shoulders squarely touched the ground.
Musang Dumog, on the other hand, is a ground fighting art, utilising locks, chokes and strikes to submit opponents on the ground. Both systems can be combined or learnt independently, or learned with other fighting styles such as Panuntukan and Sikaran.
