as a coach myself I can say as long as your willing to work hard the coach will be glad to have you, if you're gonna be lazy he'll tell you to get lost. you will be behind no doubt and it maybe too late for you to get good enough for you to get a college scholarship or something but those are almost impossible to get for anybody. is it too late to learn and vastly improve your athletic ability, discipline, learn about a great sport, make some of the best freinds you will ever have, and have a little bit of fun while your doing it? no not at all. also don't get frustrated, just like judo and jiujitsu wrestling takes time to get good at. and no offense but your takedowns probably suck, your throws are probably good but your sprawls and shots are probably not very good, from day one no one in my bjj class including the instructor could take me down, you will have to unlearn and be retaught how to take people down.
Reply:It is never too late to learn a martial art...young grasshopper.
Reply:You should consider Brazilian Ju Jitsu, I did the some thing you are doing when I was in high school and as time went on I learned to take the Jiu Jitsu I already knew and tighten the circle even smaller, that will make em tap, I also studied pro wrestling and believe it or not it helped my ground game a lot, I started studying Brazilian Ju Jitsu almost four years ago and I'm working on my second degree and that brought my ground game up several notches and would do the same for you, think about it, I don't think your coach will laugh when he see's what you learned, good luck with your studies at both schools.
Reply:Do wrestling. Do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Do some Arnis (Stickfighting). Do some Muay Thai. Do as much as you can to become a well rounded martial artist.
Reply:some people start way more late than you so don't worry about it...I train in BJJ, boxing, and muay thai but I just started learning wrestling just to tighten my game the way you have...your jiu jitsu training will definately provide you with the ability to pick up wrestling quite quickly...and if your coach laughs at you, take out all his wrestlers as well as himself out in a grappling match and show them how jiu jitsu will overpower any wrestler...choke your coach out unconscious and then kick him a few times while he's out...lol! gotta love BJJ!!!
Reply:Speaking realistically it is a little late. Odds are you won't crack the Varsity line up unless your school has a lack of people or your just that damn good. Not saying you can't do it, but you need to see it realistically. Plus although wrestling will help you with Judo and JiuJitsu, J and JJ won't help you in wrestling.





Having your back on the mat in wrestling (guard position) = very very bad.
