Spatola Classic 2017 174lb Champion!! (3-0)
First off for the few people that hated on my BJJ vs Wrestling post, I just got to say we had two D1 wrestlers in our division, a state champion and a couple army guys. I applied atleast 6 pure bjj moves to counter numerous shots. I was hitting a bunch of Kimura traps off of the single legs. I scored a couple good double legs and a few singles too.
High level BJJ can compete against high level wrestling. No dispute, I proved it today. I will have videos to post in the days to come. In the meantime please share this post if you believe BJJ is the most dominate martial art.
People online were questioning wether he had a Wrestling background:
