Styles that teach you how to fight on your feet and stay on your feet are best for street fighting situations. Using BJJ in a street fight will get you stomped out, kicked, jumped the moment you go to the ground. If you’re in a street fight you want to be on your feet and agile so you can get the f out of there asap. You want to be able to avoid attacks and likely multiple attackers.

He exposed his back twice using two variations of the same technique, and took advantage of his being flustered to set up a clean double which he could’ve finished with a slam, and a much more vicious pin like a barbed wire or something obviously intended to cause pain; instead he chose a slow and controlled finish, which is a FAR more valuable lesson in and of itself to the younger grappler.

I respect the restraint and control this D1 wrestler has I don’t know much about the sport itself but can immediately recognize the sportsmanship in both athletes well played

Good sportsmanship. The high-school kid probably learned as much in that 2 minutes as he would have with a season worth of matches. Parents...put your kids in wrestling. They will learn many life skills from this sport. And it's a one-on-one sport. No teammates to hide behind... just you, your opponent, and will!

Wish my parents had done that. My mom was too afraid of "me getting hurt" to put me in sports like football or hockey or wrestling, where my natural size could have done me some good instead of wasting it.
