It’s long been known that wrestlers, once they make a transition to BJJ – especially if they’re high-level wrestlers – can create quite a havoc for the Jiu-Jitsu practitioners…
Which is, in part, not just due to wrestlers’ ability to adapt to ground game faster than it might be the case for BJJ practitioners to adapt to wrestling.
But also due to the fact that BJJ practitioners often don’t have the best wrestling.
Jason Nolf – an American freestyle and former folkstyle wrestler who was a three-time NCAA Division I national champion – has posted a video recently that pokes fun at BJJ practitioners.
Here are four things he poked fun at:
You want to stand straight up and you want to bang the Collar Tie [proceeds to slap/push down the training partner’s head down].
Number two: you’ve got to have zero regard for where you’re at on the mat.
When you get tired, you want to just sit down to your butt.
Ask for a flow roll and then go live.

Nolf, who competed at CJI and lost to Tye Ruotolo in the first match, was accused by Ruotolo for greasing:
I felt like I was just gripping on the freaking bar of soap…
“Did you grease your legs?” I asked him.
He’s, like: “Yeah.”I can’t even believe he admitted it, you know.
You’re not supposed to do that.
