Did you know that wrestling can actually be quite simple? It sure can, if you dedicate yourself to learning and perfecting a set number of techniques, until you can hit them automatically. It’s going to come in handy whenever you want to progress to a takedown… Or even set up a choke immediately!
There’s no shame in admitting that your wrestling could use a bit more work… Alright, maybe more than a “bit”. But what you should do is try and improve your standup skills.
If you want to improve your wrestling, then the first thing you’ve got to work on is your positioning. That is, the way your hips are positioned and how much pressure you’re applying.
Be aware of these two things and improve them… And your wrestling will progress by leaps and bounds.
