Wrestlers are universally known as being some of the most hardcore athletes on earth. It takes a huge amount of hard work and perseverance to be successful in wrestling. The difference, between wrestling and BJJ, is that wrestlers work hard to take their opponents down and maintain a top position. This is why explosive power is considered to be an asset in wrestling, much more than in BJJ.
