#72: Why the Wrestling in Jiu Jitsu is so Low Level

Hold your fire. I am just the messenger—dozens of people have DM’ed me asking this exact question. There’s actually a pretty simple and straightforward solution. Learn how to wrestle from wrestlers. Learn Judo from Judokas. Learn Jiu Jitsu from Jiujiteiros. Anyone who has no formal training in wrestling or Judo, but claims to understand it, is fooling themselves and you. You cannot understand what it feels like unless you have done it. The good thing is that there wrestlers who do Jiu Jitsu and they can teach you how to move people properly. I am bored to death with the collar tie battles on opponents with upright stances. There’s a reason it doesn’t work. Watch Greco, which has a similar stance, and you won’t see that…because it’s ineffective and inefficient. In greco for sure, it’s going to result in a duck under to suplex bomb. Now that you’re on the mat, you have to deal with him on your back as you recover. Our hand fighting strategies should adapt to the stance. An upright stance hard to pull down, but easy to shoot through. I show a lot of this on my channel and on my wrestlingforbjj instructional. All I want is to watch BJJ athletes wrestle at an upper highschool varsity level. Right now, the majority of wrestling in BJJ is at a highschool JV or 3rd string varsity level. They are the best athletes in the world but are stiff and not sure what to do out there. These things are easy to solve. Myself and countless highschool wrestling coaches are used to teaching kids who have zero experience to state championships within as little as 1-2 years. BJJ has been in the US for over 30 years and the wrestling still needs a lot of work.
