The Quest To Become A Black Belt (B J J)
My 10 year journey to get a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has begun.
I just realized that wrestling is not enough to win. Combining BJJ+Wrestling FTW!!
BJJ is the most intimate MA I ever practice because I had to put my face near opponents crotch or put my crotch near opponent's face just to gain leverage and hyperextend their joints.
Why would you want to waste ten years getting a black belt in such a weak ass overrated martial art? If you want a truely devestating grappling system, learn to wrestle. American wrestling is superior to every grappling system there is. In fact, it's the greatest H2h Martial Art ever created. Only greek-roman wrestling can hold a candle to it. A good wrestler with a couple weeks of bjj will destroy a lifetime bjj black belt 100% of the time. Lay and pray passive bullshit.

I disagree with everything you have stated. Seriously. Every last point you made, I disagree with.
Also, you can't DO BJJ moves in American wrestling (the kind that break bones). That's a nice and fast way to get banned from wrestling (NCAA or Olympic wrestling.)

How can you know in advance how long it will take to get a black belt in BJJ. Or is this one of the schools where having a black belt doesn't mean anything and you just get belts after a specific time?
Anyways, BJJ seems like a good martial art really.

lol
I am a wrestler. But hyperextending joints using various armbars or wrist locks are alien to me. I fight with greco-roman style + thai clinch. I'm just adding BJJ to it so that I have better survival rate during ground raping.(BJJ+Greco-Roman+MuayThai=WIN MMA Fights)
Fastest person getting a black belt BJJ is BJ Penn (gets blackbelt by 4 years and first american to win BJJ championship and former Light weight UFC fighter 150ish lbs)

american wrestling depending on your coach and training can and do introduce various grappling and fighting styles from various grappling arts.
my couch taught us some basic Jujitsu, Judo techniques to compliment our fighting style.
some of the techniques we learned were on the verge of cheating but mostly to induce pain and have ppl tap out. so, yes. American Wrestling can and probably teach some brazilian moves doesnt mean you'll get banned for using one unless your intend is to break the bones and not slowly apply steady pressure or make it an obvious move that the ref can see.
i was taught to use the chicken wing and cover up the move with my body so the ref could not see it. 😖hifty:
anyways....... its all about: American Wrestling, Jujitsu and military Grappling..

What is military grapling?
some of the moves i recognized were TKD black belt joint breaking, Jujitsu/brazilian leg/arm locks, also some kungfu/karate hand, wrist breaks.. also blood and air chokes and killing single strikes, boxing, kicking is also included. plus basic wrestling moves as well.
its just a mishmash of arts but without the actual progressive training to teach self control of slow steady pressure.
imagine being a white belt and taught black belt moves but they dont specify the how to slowly or properly do it and they throw you in with a big dude, usually ppl get hurt.
saw a kid get his femur snapped.. i sprained my ankle a lot of ppl get hyper extension, injuries.
its called mcmap, it gets progressively difficult as you increase in belt plus also depends on your instructors.
