I really think Ronin is doing this cause he likes wrestling Dudes, maybe he and Glock21 should get together to smoke some Rooster

Wouldn't it be safe to say there's no "perfect" skill set. I wrestled for 15 years ( a lot of freestyle and Greco as well as Folk ). I've coached a bunch as I've grown older. I really wouldn't recommend an adult over the age of 30 getting into Freestyle or Greco. It's a lot of throws and if your like me, it hurts a hell of a lot more to be thrown when you get older. It's a great sport for kids but wrestling is something than is honed and developed for years. It's a lot if muscle memory. It's a hard sport to just "pick up". Just my opinion.

I will agree that trying to be an actual wrestler in one's 30s is probably a fool's errand. But like I said, learn to shoot the double, grab a single and ride the pipe, and trip from a clinch. If you can learn some Thai or Judo hip tosses, all the better.

Ronin, that's cool your following your dreams.

You've apparently never played on the mats before.. you get over the 'gayness' the first time you get schooled.

Now.. I have a funny story about showing a 15 yr old girl why her arm bar attempts were failing.. I felt like a perv.

There was a 'gap' that I had to show her..

I wrestled forever so you'd think I'd be over it, but the first time I went to a BJJ practice it felt really gay to me. I felt fine going live, but drilling technique and letting a guy get into missionary position on me, or vice versa, was almost unbearable.
