… Combining martial arts with the BEST sport (wrestling):


… 
(Granted, my EIGHT YEARS of COMPETITIVE "folkstyle" wrestling in high school and college make me "a tad"/REALLY biased.)

Today I made some INSIGHTFUL observations about how WRESTLING and KARATE/'JIUJITSU' go "and-in-hand".

-- Some/MOST setups/"'loosening up'-strikes" of BOTH Karate AND 'Jiujitsu' "open up" GREAT wrestling-takedowns/"attacks".

-- SPEED >> (MUCH "GREATER"/"BETTER" than) POWER

-- ESSENTIALLY, "wrestling" IS (a FORM/TYPE/STYLE of 'Jiujitsu', 'cuz it's GROUND-fighting/"joint-manipulation … from the GROUND".




P.S. It REALLY helps that my two 'Sempais' ('Assistant martial arts instructors') are BOTH FANTASTIC martial artists AND AWARD-WINNING wrestlers!
