one advantage that jiu jitsu has over wrestling is that jiu jitsu requires less energy inmop. i notice that when wrestlers come to jiu jitsu they tend to expend way more energy than they need to because they are used to using explosiveness and strengh while jiu jitsu can be very passive and energy efficient in comparison. the grips on the gi can neutralize alot of strength and explosive type moves so wrestlers who are new can end up wasting alot of energy that jiu jitsu guys can capitalize on. but once wrestlers chill out and start learning techniques and how to be "gentler" they end up excelling in the art and dominating in competition because of their standup skills.
