Best Martial Art for Wrestler?
Jiu-Jitsu and Judo are the closest thing to wrestling that martial arts has to offer. They both focus on the found aspect of fighting, and since you wrestle it should be easy for you to know how to use your leverage against someone if you two should go to the ground. You would learn how to choke someone out, break an arm, a leg, etc. Since you play football and wrestle I assume you are pretty strong which will help you a lot. However if you fight someone and they are standing, jiu-jitsu will not help you. something like boxing and kickboxing lessons would. my advice is learn some basic jiu-jitsu techniques, and if someone comes at you, tackle them to the ground and go to work.
Reply:in ju jitsu, we are trained all round.


but i first have to say that you could rather get into trouble for using your ju jitsu skills in the play ground. but it would give you the confidence to deal with situations well. we dont agree with violence and teach respct. but also agree that if someone is going to flatten you, to take no messing and if you have to defend yourself then you can sort em . perhaps if they know you're skilled in ju jitsu, then they'd leave you alone anyway.
Reply:It amazes me that so many people are misinformed. If you learn jujitsu you can't fight standing up. You can only fight on the ground. Not true. We strike, kick, throw, standing, sitting and lying down from any position.





Judo is similar to wrestling. Many people cross train in them. But I would say there is no best style or best martial art. It really depends on you on how you apply what you have learned.





Generally speaking a guy that play football and wrestles for his school no one id going to pick on him. People tend to accept the schools athlete. There are exception, but teammates usually hang together and most people wouldn't want to fight the whole team.
