anybody in here wrestle

[Lt dan]

i dont wrestle anymore but i did as a freshman. it was alright but it killed me and i was at school for twelve housrs a day. i wasnt the best one on the team at all, i was down at the bottom lol. but i still learned alot. the reason i ask is that my friend said something to me today about how ive never been in a fight and i should train with him or something. i said i dont plan on getting in a fight too soon and if i do i know i could whoop some ass. and then i said something about how i took him down the other day wrestling, i got him to say i love you dan. he siad but that wasnt a real fight. but if you think about it, it your head aint moving and you cant breath it might be kinda hard to punch and kick.

Yeah, I train with the heavyweight 9th in the state. He's got a hundred pounds on me, and he's really hard to fight because of his wrestling skills. A couple years of highschool wrestling will turn you into a moderate fighter, but also a bag of bones.

i don't wrestle but i box.

my dad used to wrestle when he was back in my country (iran) since it's a national sport there and we produce a lot of champions. and he's f ucking strong for it.

i want to start wrestling, infact i wanted to start a long time ago but i cannot find any clubs near my house to go to. wrestling is excellent for close-quarter combat (i.e. grappling) however, i thinkg BJJ and Vale Tudo are better, however Vale Tudo is MMA. it's not just grappling, nevertheless.

Wrestling can teach you a lot about fighting. however you don't become invincible when you learn it though.

I wrestled all through high school.. and lemme tell ya.. if 90 percent of fights end up on the ground.. the wrestler will win, plain and simple. Ive wrestled friends for fun at like drunk parties etc.. and ive always won, no matter how big they were.

If you know the basics: granby shrugs, rolls, simple single leg takedown, front headlock(hehe), and even the guilotine, you will ALWAYS win against someone who doestn, provided the dont have a lot of leverage over you. (or muscle).

I dont know how your high school wrestling was, but ours was hard as hell.. and i loved it . On average someone like me who never needed to lose weight (at a hefty 112 lbs) would lose about 3 or 4 pounds a practice. Perhaps it was mostly water weight... but one guy in particular lost 40 lbs throughout the season, and has kept it off since. That sport is underestimated.. its simply the most rigorous of high school sports. (prepares for flame battle )

 

[Lt dan]

yeah its the most rigorous. anybody who wants to disagree is wrong. the football players on the team either quit or they are dying at practice.

and about the bag of bones thing. it will make you a bag of bone......and pure muscle

 

[Soshyopathe]

Yeah, you're all muscle, but it's not a whole lot of muscle in highschool. The college wrestlers are a lot more muscular. Anyway about this:

i think BJJ and Vale Tudo are better

If it means anything to you, I know a guy who wrestled for 3 years in highschool, took 2 months of judo, entered a judo competition, and placed first in the brown-belt division. He placed second in the black belt division. Wrestling doesn't include joint locks and other things that would be useful in the street, but it's highly effective.
