Why Wrestling Is Important for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
While Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is renowned for its ground fighting, every match begins standing.
Wrestling teaches you how to dictate where the fight takes place through effective takedowns, balance, movement and pressure.
Students who combine wrestling with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu often develop stronger overall grappling skills and greater confidence in both training and competition.
Many Gracie Barra students use wrestling training to improve competition performance and become more complete grapplers.
