Wrestling vs Jujitsu

I did wrestling in high school. I also had about five years of Japanese karate and I keto. The couple of times in my adult life where I was forced to defend myself, it was the wrestling that saved me. It's extremely hard to teach someone who has that jujitsu background, the importance of simply wrestling. Jujitsu is so much decided on the mat that to spend a bunch of time and effort fighting for the takedown,. "You're probably going to get the fact that no, it's actually not worth it"
