OK, I just need an honest opinion. I have an exchange student that will be arriving from Europe this summer. He will be attending the local (4A) high school (1440 kids in 9-12). He wants to do sports. Well football is out... knows nothing about football. Basketball... nope Baseball... hardly. This pretty much leaves him with Folk Style wrestling. He has 9 years of karate experience and is currently an instructor for younger kids. The question is... would he even have a fighting chance competing in Folk Style wrestling? It is certainly much more "hands on" than karate. I would like a learned opinion on well karate skills would translate into success in the Folk Style wrestling world? Or, would he be wasting his time?
