Athletes with a wrestling background tend to move very differently than those who’ve only ever trained BJJ. A wrestler’s knowledge of movement can greatly benefit them in grappling matches, especially if their opponent can’t move the same way or doesn’t know how to defend against a wrestler’s approach.
Whether you want to move like a wrestler does or you just want to be prepared so you can counter their actions, take a look at this video from Orlando BJJ’s Alec Baulding. In this conceptual clip, Alec demonstrates some basic footwork drills that can help you get on your way to being better on your feet, just like a wrestler!
