This is faaaaaar from what I expected. Nobody expects wrestler's skills to transfer to handling the balls... I am interested in how well they can do as forward players, in scrums and so forth. Likewise, I am interested in how "strong" the rugby tackles are against the wrestlers, rather than how fast... There is absolutely no point of "swap" in this video.

i really enjoy these, but i'd love to see them do a full wrestling match with someone their own size, or maybe a little bit smaller, and same for the rugby playing. so they can feel the true challenge under realistic conditions. i do both, and believe me it can be humbling when someone with skills shows you how its done

[@xqiuvmah]

I think it is easier for the wrestler to learn rugby then the reverse (assuming both are top athletes in their sport). Wrestling requires a unique type of athleticism that I don't think rugby players develop. Whereas the wrestling athleticism is so universal (needing speed, strength, balance, flexibility, toughness) that it is easier to adapt to rugby, just needing to learn the techniques instead of redeveloping how their bodies are built. Think of skill points in video games, wrestlers have very balanced base physical stats, whereas rugby has more selected base stats, and more specialized skills.

In rugby you have to tackle everyone. So it is necessary to practice with larger partners than yourself. The opposite is true as well. The safety of your opponent is a part of the value system of competitive sports. So you must learn to safely achieve your objective.

[@羅莉-u2g]

I play rugby and I love it. I often thought about how I would love to try out wrestling, as well, but I am a bit insecure about it. I am pretty obese and weight 110kg (as a woman). Do you girls (maybe also guys) who do wrestling think I can still do wrestling? I am afraid that in the local wrestling school there won't be any other women about my size to do a fair match wouldn't be possible even in training. And I am also wondering about competition. I know that for professional competitions the highest weight class for women is 72 kg. So would I not be able to compete as I grow more experienced or are there different weight classes for amateur wrestling? At first I was insecure about playing Rugby as well, but there I can often use my physical attributes to be of advantage for my team, so I am not ashamed to train and play with team mates who are all skinnier (and fitter) than me. Would really appreciate an answer :)!

[@sarahranlett9453]

羅莉 maybe just try to lose some weight, 110 kg is a bit much, not to be rude, then I think you could definitely wrestle. The highest weight class is 76kg now I’m pretty sure, try dieting

[@羅莉-u2g]

@@sarahranlett9453 haha, that I know! I dont feel offended by your comment, but for real it's not very helpful. One of the main reasons I started playing rugby and I consider doing wrestling because I want to lose weight (and because I think it's something I would enjoy) but honestly, if I would have to hit the weight limit for the highest weight class, it will take me forever, you cannot lose 40kilo over night. I actually have already lost some weight, about ten kilo, but it takes time.

[@nasiemhughes8952]

羅莉 you should do it that why wresting have different weight classes as a good thing

[@frames9819]

I think it would be great for you:) try crosstraining in judo, it has a +78 weight class, and it helps a lot of people feel less insecure after practicing it for a while. It also helps in wrestling and rugby, mainly because it teaches you how to fall right. It will also encourage you to eat healthier

[@ellajonson8300]

You should totally try wrestling I wrestle for GB and we don’t have nearly enough girls u should just give it a try . And even though 72 kg is the highest weight that’s only in UWW comps such as the worlds or Europeans in all other comps it’s just what u weigh in at and if any other girls weigh in at that u should give it a try anyways tho just go for it!!

I doubt she would have won at all, given that he's double her size. Technique can only overcome so much strength disparity. That's probably why they didn't do it.

[@turmat01]

@@c.y.hollander5592 I disagree. I used to do Jiu Jitsu. I was 140lbs back then. I rolled with a friend who was 280 lbs and used to be a karate black belt when he was younger. The first few rolls I completely raped him. Now after only a couple of rolls, he figured out the big mistakes he was doing and his strenght quickly overcame my technique, but not before a couple rolls, and I was nowhere near a blackbelt myself. I'm sure the size difference between them would have been totally insignificant as we are talking about an olympian here!

[@c.y.hollander5592]

@@turmat01 Jiu jitsu is different, in my opinion, because of submission holds, which are a) relatively unfamiliar to untrained people and b1) use leverage and b2) pit strong muscles against weak ones, so don't require actually matching strength against strength. I don't believe that the same thing holds for pin wrestling, in part because that sort of fighting is roughly familiar even to many untrained people, let alone rugby players who train in tackling (the player in the video said they even train in judo!), and in part because many takedowns require a fair bit of strength as well as technique, if nothing else, because one has to lift most or all of an opponent's bodyweight. I admit that this is just my opinion, and I could be wrong. That's why it would have been interesting to see! But the fact that the video *didn't* show them competing in actual wrestling but only in training exercises leads me to believe that I'm right. Perhaps they even tried it, but the result wasn't what they wanted, so they didn't show it.
