Thats why I wanna do BJJ and Judo now and then, when im 21, I'll wrestle....
Im just askin if this is a good idea, (it certainly is the best I can do right now). And, when I do start to wrestle...My question still stands from my very first post on this thread......When i do start to wrestle, will I be able to acheive decent, if not good wrestling techniques within a year of actively training wrestling?<<----Thats my question, ALL i want is answers and different opinions on THIS question, not: "Dude, hang up you gi and do H.S. wrestling, this chance to wrestle competively only comes around once"<---I didnt ask about that, nor do i want to hear that, as I have already heard it enough. I asked about wrestling techniques, and answers, opinions, and words of advice is all i want/need
Thank You.
Dominic Kihlstrand said:Oh, that makes sense. You will get decent takedowns from a year of wrestling when you turn 21. You can get good takedowns from no-gi grappling, depending on the people you work with. People don't like to admit it, but you can get great takedowns, simply if you have a good wrestler in your class. Ask him, "Hey, can we do takedowns and you help me out?" If he is anything like hayliks, he will say "Fuck you, you should have wrestled in high school." But most people aren't like hayliks, so give that a shot as well.
