How wrestling can improve your BJJ game
Wrestling can help you improve your Jiu Jitsu technique in multiple ways. Many of the positions and guards in BJJ are similar and able to be utilised in wrestling as well. Here are just some of the benefits:
1. Win Scrambles
Wrestling can differentiate you from and give you an advantage over your opponent. Not accepting pins and takedowns will give you much better scrambling ability when rolling. Not giving your opponent positional advantages during a scrimmage will serve you better to implement your techniques and wear on your opponent.
2. Enhanced Technique
Wrestling will give you a technical advantage. Wrestling tends to make you develop certain positions to a much finer precision. Takedowns, side control, mount and other top positions need to be established and controlled. The ability to pin an opponent in a bad position is a skill in itself.
