Why wrestling makes better grapplers
Most jiu-jitsu players avoid the standup game. That's exactly why it's an advantage. Wrestling teaches you to dictate where the fight goes: take it down, stay on top, or scramble back to your feet.
What you'll train
- Stance, motion, and hand-fighting
- Single legs, double legs, and finishes
- Front headlocks and go-behinds
- Scrambles and getting back to your feet
- Safe falling and takedown defense
Pair it with no-gi jiu-jitsu for a complete grappling game.
