The wrestling style I did, Swiss Schwingen definitely helped with my Collegiate wrestling. Didnt do shit to help my BJJNice list of alternative wrestling styles, anyone know if any of them have any benefit tho? Holt?
That was interesting. Seems like a lot more clinch fighting and relatively few take down attempts. I guess based on the rules, you have to be relatively conservative. Here's what a fall counts as:
"The rules: the combat area is delimited by a circle, and the first man to have all four limbs touching the ground, to be lying on his back, or to fall out of the circle, loses the fight."

Knockouts are rare from what I've seen in Senegalese wrestling but I've seen some great ones.
And just in case someone hasn't seen this before
Bareknuckle fighting is going to have less power shots because the fighters have no protection on their fists.
Woah, I thought you where joking originally. Where did you do Schwingen? In America?The wrestling style I did, Swiss Schwingen definitely helped with my Collegiate wrestling. Didnt do shit to help my BJJ
Also, Lucha Libre. People bash professional wrestlers but they really underestimate just how good of a physical condition you'd have to be in to perform those acrobatics.
