Brakes work by applying pressure on the brake drum and gradually slowing down your car. This should be a smooth, gradual process. If your brakes are grabbing, the process is anything but smooth - you'll feel an abruptness in the way your car stops, a sort of jerkiness.

Why a Pontiac sunfire jerk forward when you hit the brakes hard?
without a little more information, it's hard to be specific, but it kind of sounds like the brakes are grabbing at the front of the car before they grab in the rear. Or, they're grabbing harder in the front than in the rear. This could be because the rear brakes are shot, because the brakes are mal-adjusted or because the brake system proportioning valve is faulty. In any case, I'd take the car to a brake professional to have it checked.
