#wrestlingwednesday 🤼‍♂️ me and Vince are the same rank in jiu jitsu. - I would never downplay the importance of great BJJ in the sport of mma. I believe it is one of the cornerstones of this sport. - However, my belief is that there is a lot of harm that can be done when a high level wrestler comes into the sport of mma and a BJJ coach gets ahold of them and teaches them positions that negate the years of wrestling experience they have accrued. - Grappling is grappling. No two opponents will grapple and react the same. Sometimes a BJJ approach would be better suited, sometimes a wrestling mindset would help you fare better. But more often than not, going “all in” on my strengths as a wrestler has worked out for me in grappling exchanges. - I’ve stayed a wrestler with a wrestler mindset and never subscribed to positions of concession because I know what my goals in a fight are and I know my strengths. - COMMENT below if you agree or disagree. - See you at the top!
