Well Jiu Jitsu is about positional domination, but yes mostly it comes to fighting on the ground. You're not going to lay on your back and pull guard in a street fight, but rather look for a dominate top position (side control, mounted) and just ground and pound from that position. It comes from Judo though, and Judo its self although more focused on the standing aspect because it's a sport, contains many of the same ground elements.

Someone who is very good at Judo is _VERY_ difficult to take to the ground while still being a fairly profecient fighter on thr ground.
