Blending Judo and Wrestling with Jiu-Jitsu
Blending judo and wrestling with jiu-jitsu is a valuable approach that allows practitioners to enhance their stand-up game. To get started, it is important to focus on basic wrestling concepts like grip fighting, stance, and distance management. Learning foot sweeps as a way to manage distance can be a useful tool. Additionally, watching and emulating high-level grapplers who have similar body types and styles can provide inspiration. It is crucial to find techniques that align with one's individual game rather than trying to imitate every aspect of top-level competitors.
