no gi grappling

[Tant01]

I know alot of wrestlers who are now taking BJJ. I was wondering how smooth the transition from BJJ to say college wrestling is?

Take a look at your ears. Now take a look at a wrestler's ears... They'll rip yer head off! The intensity is 110%


Jiu-jitsu is a gentle art... The local BJJ club (academy) has some wrestlers from the university (Humboldt State). Nothing to brag about but they play the game. It's all good.

yeah but wrestlers pin you, BJJers snap your limbs....

I don't if anyone has heard of it but a great no gi system to train in is Erik Paulson's Combat Submission Wrestling its pretty cool stuff. Its a pretty interesting system. he has a bunch of clips on his website. www.erikpaulson.com

lol BJJ'ers dont snap your limbs, you tap out before that happens.

With wrestling its the same, their are just rules against it.

No creating torsion of the neck/spine to break someones neck.

No spiking people on their head.

Things like that are a bit more dangerous than a broken arm.

Im not saying one is better than the other, but they can both **** you up.
