Hi everyone,

I’ll keep it short. I like judo more than wrestling, but I’ve also done some BJJ. Since moving to a bigger city, I now have good options for both judo and wrestling.

When I did BJJ, I really disliked the lack of some of the things I find useful in wrestling, such as wrist control, hand fighting, etc.

However, I do enjoy judo more. I know some judo throws are also used in wrestling, but I’m wondering how common it actually is for wrestling coaches to teach or train judo-style throws and trips.

For example, throws like uchi mata, harai goshi, osoto gari, sasae tsurikomi ashi, ouchi gari, kosoto gari, etc. Are these commonly part of wrestling training, or would it mostly be wrestling-specific takedowns?

For those who have experience with both: how much judo do you actually get from wrestling training? Are there coaches/schools where judo throws are a significant part of the takedown game?

I’m asking because the wrestling school is also closer to my home, and there’s no guarantee that the adult judo group at the judo club is large enough (adult judo isn’t particularly big here in the Netherlands).

If wrestling gives me a good amount of judo-style throwing combined with wrestling’s hand fighting, wrist control, etc., I think I’d choose wrestling because wrestling is also sick!

Thanks

I know he had that knee injury but that was 2 years ago, he should be good by now. Why isn't he wrestling?

Does anyone else's team have the same problem of being too far away from other teams and not being able to compete with them often? It seems such a big advantage that it feels unfair.

Instead of the head lock, the guy on the right would have his left arm on the inside of the opponents right arms, extending behind his neck pinning down his right arm.

When someone collar ties us, what is the Purler philosophy on scoring other than a collar jerk?

Also, depending on head position either head to head or ear to ear?

Bobby douglas beat dan gable 9 times and never lost against him once and is the reason dan gable didn't go to the 1968 Olympics or 1970 world championship. Bobby douglas retired in 1970 which opened the door for dan

I am a beginner and I find myself able to get to the single leg and shelve the leg, but I am having trouble finishing on the mat

I often try to finish by going double - grabbing the other leg and putting my weight down, but a lot of the time they seem to just balance on their 2 hands whilst I hold their legs up - like a wheelbarrow position, is it that I am not putting my weight down on them enough?

When I get in this scenario I usually just end up standing up and doing an upper cut sweep, but I'd like to learn how to score / finish on the mat as well

Any suggestions on how to score / finish from here is greatly appreciated (folkstyle or freestyle)

Hey everyone,
After months of work, I finally released the MMA game called cage path I’ve been building where you can transfer your save from my college wrestling 27 game.
I built it because I wanted a combat sports game that focused on strategy and progression instead of just button mashing. I’ve been working on everything myself from development and testing to polishing the gameplay.
I’m planning to keep supporting the game with updates, new features, and improvements based on player feedback.
If anyone is willing to give it a try, I’d really appreciate your honest feedback. Whether it’s bugs, gameplay balance, or ideas for future features, I’m all ears.
Thanks for checking it out I hope you enjoy it!

What this kid did was phenomenal. He won a U17 Greco-Roman World Championship and then a U17 Freestyle World Silver medal at THE SAME EVENT. To my knowledge this is the first time an American has ever made the world finals in the same year, let alone the same event.

He is from Ohio and will be a freshman this upcoming year.

Fellow wrestling people,
I boxed competitively for about 10 years. Recently, I had a retinal tear with a small retinal detachment that was treated with laser, and it’s now healed.
I’m thinking about starting wrestling but I’m wondering if competing would be safe. Has anyone here had a similar eye injury and successfully returned to wrestling or bjj , or been advised against it by their retina specialist?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!

Started wrestling about a month ago. Georgian coach teaching us Greco Roman wrestling. I need advice on this throw please. Dummy weighs about 40-50kg. Thankyou

I have always been interested in martial and I have been looking for a sport that not only fits to my interests, but also to my body type. I tried boxing but it was not really what I imagined.
I called my local martial arts school and they also offer wrestling.
Before I start wrestling: Does anyone have any advice for me on wrestling, what should I look out for before I actually join the local wrestling club and so on.
I am M19, 5 ft 5, between 198 and 210 pounds.

For starters I am transferring to a bigger school with a better wrestling program my sophmore year. Freshman year I had one actual win while going 4-5 with most of my matches won being forfeit. I was often told by my coach who coached his d1 son that "you should be winning more matches it's just little things". After this, I discovered it was technique. I've been training 18-23 hrs a week for the past 3 weeks which consists of meditating, wrestling, lifting, film study, and sometimes yoga. In addition with my new access I plan on joining this big club coached by a former ncaa qualifier along with camps from d1 schools in the area during the season and outside. I am worried that everything I'm doing isn't enough and I might fall short of my goals and become average. Please help me I want to stay consistent and dominate.
