I don't know of anyone with much real training at all who doubts that wrestling is effective. It's very effective, sure there are a few bad habits developed on the goals of wrestling but a little training and practice overcomes those. Wrestlers generally have very good balance, and positional awareness. Aside from just technique wrestlers are usually (if they are nto too far removed from it) in very good shape and very strong for their size. That as much as anything makes them a tough opponent, if you don't stay relaxed and cannot work from the bottom a wrestler will own you big time.
