A submission (depending on the context also referred to as a "'''tap out'''" or "'''tapping out'''") is a Combat Sports term for yielding to the opponent, and hence resulting in an immediate defeat. The submission is commonly performed by clearly tapping the floor or the opponent with the hand or sometimes with the foot, to signal the opponent and possibly the referee of the submission. The submission can also be verbal, during which the fighter verbally informs that he is giving up. In some combative sports where the fighter has Corner-person s, the corner can also stop the fight by "'''throwing in the towel'''", which may count as a submission.
