I've trained in assorted martial arts over the years, wrestled in Jr. Highschool, boxed for 2 years, nogi jiujitsu, etc. I found out that my neighbor wrestled quite a bit, so I invited him over to workout with the group I'm training with. Turns out he was a division 1 wrestler.
Wow. I had limited wrestling experience a decade ago, but this is a whole different thing. He shut my game down and smothered me, and I'm by no means a hack or the MMA equivalent of a yard tard. I understood how wrestlers work before and some fundamentals, but the importance of what they do in submission grappling has been made very clear. Good stuff, I'm sold.
Tell us more about this "group" you are training with.
We mostly work nogi jiujitsu, but we don't have a proper school. The 2 of us that head it up are even with blue belts when we go other places, but haven't been belted. Certainly not ideal, but it's better than whining and not training because the closest brown belt is 1 hour away and the closest black belt is 1.5 hours away. I did frequent an excellent boxing gym, but it recently closed.
I've usually trained under better conditions in other disciplines (before I moved to where I am now), but I'll take what I can get.
Use the wrestler...get better!
Then, make him always start on his back(guard).
I'm especially excited because wrestling is my most lacking skill, everything else I'm at least passable.
Where he wrestle at? Always nice to have a D1 calibur guy to work with that for dang sure...
