NotQuiteDead Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 I consider all styles of wrestling martial arts, especially catch wrestling.
TJS Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Wrestling did better than 90% of other martial arts in early NHB fighting.

ravenzoom Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 The only problem there is/was with wrestling is finishing the guy off. At least this is the perception I got from pure wrestlers in early UFCs. Great martial art alone for takedowns and control, but weak in finishing off your opponent.

They could usually finish off strikers pretty easily on the ground but someone with a basic undestanding of the ground and ground defense was in for a long fight if they cant get back up.
Bama Crimson Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 Wrestlers tend to become "ground and pound" fighters in MMA, because of the lack of finishing moves.

dragon29 Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 well, it does have combat techniques and requires practice and skill, so i definitely think it would Destroy all that is evil, so that all that is good may flourish.
Menjo Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 Yes but i dont generaly find it very effective, but I just probably met some bad people at it... "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn
