What sport is harder football or wrestling??

[Unkotare]

Did you ever want to do BJJ or add striking to your wrestling base??

I have added a dozen or so other things to my base for years and years.

 

[Unkotare]

There are any number of ways to get injured. I’ve experienced most of them.

I've broken every finger, every toe, almost every rib, my collar bone, my orbital bone, my wrist, my nose dozens of times, I can't recall how many concussions (of course I can't recall), had one eye ripped open, and as a result of cutting hard weight for so many years I now get kidney stones like I'm growing them in a garden. Every morning when I wake up my knees, elbows, and shoulders are screaming (an effective way to get woken up). When I stand up it sounds like someone is making popcorn.

Totally worth it.

I did BJJ for awhile

I think you added an extra ‘J’ there by mistake

 

[braalian]

Arm wrestling’s the real measure of a man

 

[Rawley]

I would agree.
I did both.
Two totally different disciplines.
From a sheer conditioning point of view, wrestling was more difficult.
I played wide receiver so even though there was running involved, there was time between plays. But with wrestling, once the match starts, it's game on and those few minutes are exhausting.

And the smell in the wrestling gym. Ugh.

When the match is over and the ref raises your hand, there is nothing more fun.

In mano y mano sports, there is definitely nothing better.

I did train it

Darce choke , arm triangle choke ,

 

[Quasar44]

I did Muay Thai , boxing , Krav Maga and BJJ

Can’t say I was good but maybe low avg

 

[Quasar44]

I would have liked to do beginner Judo

Wow! 7 years of amateur boxing competition and 58 fights, and I'm no where near as banged up.

I've always believed that wrestlers are the most authentic "tough men" out there.

What about your low back ??

Wow what weight class

 

[Moonglow]

Wrestling, by far.

How far?
I did both, and both were strenuous. I wrestled heavyweight and was the center...

 

[Lockback]

And the smell in the wrestling gym. Ugh.

Believe it or not, that did influence me to leave the sport.
Forever.

You were choking something, I’m sure

(You can’t keep setting people up like that)

My back is (usually) ok. Always had a solid core.

See how straight the uke's leg is? That's a no-no. A straight leg is a broken leg. Of course a uke's job is to cooperate with the tori, but it's worth noting.

 

[katsteve2012]

Wow what weight class

Started at

Wow what weight class

Started out at 121 pounds, but was not fully developed, and over time had to starve to get to that weight.
Last 3 years were at 145-47, and a couple of fights at 154.
