i just wanted to know if anyone had any good strategies for when you roll with people from a wrestling background. any in put would be helpful. thanks in adv.
That is usually the same response I try to give people. Once you learn your opponents game it makes it easier to defeat them. When a BJJ guy learns wrestling he will know what moves the wrestler will do and vice versa.Coach Couzo said:I've got a novel idea ... learn wrestling.
No seriously. My wrestling buddies always ask me what they should do against BJJ/Sub Wrestlers. My response is the same: learn BJJ.
Takedowns, throws, and position control, which wrestlers are known for, are all integral parts of BJJ as well. For whatever reason, some schools do not emphasize these aspects of BJJ very well. This is discouraging. If your school follows this (incorrect) methodology, buy some freestyle/Greco (and Judo) takedown DVDs. Then practice these moves with your more open-minded training partners before or after class. You might start a trend.
