Crazy.

I've only met one Desi who was bigger than me without trying, the rest had to work out.

I am just saying that it has little applicability to a real fight. Doesn't mean it's gay or a stupid sport. Please note the difference.

But maybe you are right. You seem to know a lot about UFC and MMA. Not claiming to know more than you on this topic.

As for Brazilian jiu jitsu and grappling in general, then that is of course super important in a fight. I've always thought that the best combination is Mui Thai crossed with BJJ along with some boxing experience.

Anyways, I was into this stuff long long long time ago, but now I don't remember anything any more. If I said something heretical or blasphemous to you about wrestling (as you seem horribly offended), then I will do sincere tawbah and repent throughout the night.

Carry on. Just please don't beat up anyone in this thread

You're crazy..

Why does it say JayshAllah? I thought they weren't the same. And yes HS wrestling is where you learn the basics of Freestyle, Greco-Roman, and maybe even Catch Wrestling. It's where you learn how to properly execute a takedown and defend against one. Also where you learn how to control a stronger opponent in the clinch. Those two alone would be very helpful in a streetfight. Not to mention the insane amount of fitness and conditioning required to wrestle would no doubt be another huge advantage because stamina is 50% of the battle baby.
