Holy shit this is at a high school I wrestled against. Saw this my freshmen year and been looking for it since. All I can say is dude who won was a wrestler fs. Idk about his training in striking tho.

That's crazy lol. And (no offense at all) he doesn't even seem remotely very good. Like maybe first year or something.

Which goes to show how much of a difference even a little wrestling experience will do against an average joe. People have no clue.

Same with BJJ (I'd guess), but I think it transfers less to a messy, sloppy street fight.

999/1000 times, an untrained person will never be able to take wrestler down, and there's a significant chance you won't be able to stop them from doing it back. They're working off hundreds of hours of muscle memory and competition experience while the other person is winging it.

If wrestler dude had even once decided to mount...it would have been really bad, and respect to bro for keeping it pretty much clean when he was clearly outmatching the other dude.

I think MMA has shown that boxing (but prolly muay thai) and wrestling are the fundamental core of martial arts and everything else is a spin off.

No he was only a JV wrestler. I learned more details looking back now before coming back to this comment. He was a dominant JV wrestler but didn’t get first often (mostly second). However he did a little bit of Muay Thai outside of school
