WRESTLER VS No Gi BJJ Tournament 

Means a lot thank you!

In wrestling you are responsible for your opponent's safe return to the mat or else you could be DQ'd.

Thanks brother 🥲

I think another good opponent for you would be Mr. Kevin Lloyd of Great Britain. He is trained in muay Thai, bjj, freestyle wrestling, and legit catch wrestling ( the father of freestyle wrestling and pro wrestling). Yes he is a pro wrestler but he is also a LEGIT assistant coach at snake pit Wigan ( catch wrestling). I think you should try catch wrestling competition. There is no rank in catch wrestling competition. And it real competition.

And you could win by either pin or submission.

4months my ass..... ja..

Thanks man!

Thanks Callum! Appreciate the support!

Thanks Gustavo! This is at white belt

Make sense that nogi bjj look like wrestling. But look like SUBMISSION wrestling. There are many forms of submission wrestling. Including judo( have pin and suplex), catch wrestling, and even luta Livre ( like catch wrestling and judo but NO pin).

Plus Maeda was also a catch wrestler. But people will say catch wrestling got submission from Japanese. Which I ADMIT was probably TRUE. In fact freestyle wrestling have a lot of throws that looks like judo throw.

Watch 1937 NCAA wrestling on RU-vid. And tell me if it doesn't resemble nogi grappling. But no submission in amateur catch wrestling ( name for freestyle and folkstyle wrestling).

😂 pls tell me Tominack actually said that

Thanks Llama 💜

No way did we compete against each other? And hope the match went well!

The ref said we were “out of bounds” 🤷🏽‍♂️

Thank you for your input Aaron. I wrestled for fun throughout college to stay in shape for rugby. I have not done any formal collegiate wrestling experience I also asked JJWL if I could compete at intermediate and they said no, so here we are ❤️

@@RyanJuliano Hey, if you asked them to be moved up and they said no then that on them. It's interesting to me that tournament only specifically cites college wrestling. Every tournament I've seen usually says any wrestling experience is enough to make you move up. I guess to them I could start wrestling at 4yrs old, be a multiple time state champ in high school and then not do college wrestling and be considered a "beginner" . I think bjj should include more wrestling rules, especially with all the stalling and out of bounds riding people do.

@@SkepticalAaron I don’t know, I feel like bjj is a completely different sport that wrestling so beginner universally should be fair because intermediate is a good jump, wrestling doesn’t even finish fights just positioning, strength, and takedowns? Not too much of an advantage it’s not like they know anything bjj wise

About 10 months
