Old age scares me to death

...
Wrestling a 20 yr old is near impossible ..after 5 min I have zero left
Wrestling is something to start at an early age if you're going to get really good at it.

I know
I only do it to learn basics
I physically will never be good
We do it by setting up punches and non stop drills but no actual combat
It is a beg class
Last month we did grappling off the wall against a steel cage .vert different
Does your MMA club have a dedicated space?
My club also has pro classes for the real fighters

My class is only for beginners and hobbyist . It’s all drilling . We don’t go live !!

Old age brings wisdom to many folks if they allow it. Wisdom can compensate for loss of strength and endurance.

Some of the guys in class will one day go to pro class
For me this is it !!

Our Take downs we never go on our knees .
...
Say what now?
We only do double legs from standing .
Which is better in mma and more common
And easy to defend. That's a good way to get snapped down or thrown across the room.
That is why you set it up with punches
Exp .as I throw left hook I step my left leg between Opp legs
More mma version then pure wrestling
 
I need months of drilling before I even want to go live
We only drill on stand up
We go much more harder on ground
 
... It’s all drilling . We don’t go live !!
Why the hell not?
We do only techniques and drilling
It allows you to learn better and not get injured
Fewer injuries, maybe, but it most certainly will not allow you to learn better.

Anyway, if your club can afford it you should have them look into installing:


An excellent training device. You can train for hours and hours and your 'partner' never gets tired of being the uke.

My favorite and most used takedown is quickly dropping to one knee, placing hands behind opponents' heels, and pushing with shoulder just below his knees. Many options after that if you can be fast.

You mean the low leg single !!!
It’s cool move if your super quick
You use your head into his knee and pull on heel

That is pure wresting
We don’t do that one

If you're just dropping to a knee instead of penetrating your opponent's stance and driving through, you may well end up on your back in a poor position in short order.
