When we say wrestling, that does not have to be wrestling specifically. Unlike in USA, there is very little wrestling (college etc), so wrestling means anything that involves people rolling around on the floor. When we say "let's wrestle" at our school (and the others I've been to), we mean "roll". <br /><br />We still just do BJJ :-)<br /><br />There are lots of other areas where terminology differs. Ie: what you call butterfly guard, we call hooks in guard. Your north-south is our head-to-head. And we use the term "Figure 4" instead of "Kimura" or "Americana".<br /><br />I know, I know, we are strange down here :-)<br /><br />I honestly don't know if I'd fancy wrestling (in your sense). The takedowns are awesome, and for that, I'd love to try it. But it's academic anyway, because Melbourne is the nearest place for wrestling clubs, and that's too far for regular classes.fenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422718635385568842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397679792479181257.post-42855047219151207662011-02-13T15:24:36.647+11:002011-02-13T15:24:36.647+11:00So overall, how are you liking wrestling?

Seeing as I haven't, and may never compete (still not sure) I've kind of just brushed them off.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13229873505463921052noreply@blogger.com
