How to deal with wrestlers?

Learn the oil check. Its the only way to get a wrestler to respect you.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts on this. I'm taking notes as I'm typing this. Yes, Cora has never had any judo or wrestling experience other than the ones incorporate in her Jiu Jitsu class. She's able to defend against those boys in her gym, but the kids who she will face at Battle 4 the Ages will be top level kids in BJJ and are multiple time champion in their states. (well so says their bios anyways). So from the notes I gather from yall so far, is either get to their neck first or fight them on using angles (flying kung fu, carni, omoplata) which throw their power away from her. Will keep yall update on how that is coming along. Her next test before Battle 4 the Ages is Naga. Let see how she does at Naga and will take it from there.

Here is the last match I have on video of me going against a good wrestler. This guy was one of the best wrestlers in the state in high school and he is now a wrestling coach. When he took me down I immediately secured an overhook and started attack from the rubber guard.

This is the kind of game we are presently working on, as I think this is how most of her matches will be like. Also got my hand on Ryan Hall's Triangle DVD that goes hand in hand in with this. Just trying to take her triangle to the next level.

Not a wrestler, but super heavy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ6kYL72UiA

I have coached guy's with zero wrestling and either got them to get takedowns or to stop them. It depends on a couple of things, good coaching, lots of reps and live wrestling! It can be done!!

This is a moot point. GSP never wrestled a day in his life, he has victories over several All-Americans and even National Champions. Yeah it's GSP, yeah its not always the case and uncommon, but if you put in the reps, listen to your coaches and drill correctly, a 3 month novice can perform pretty well against a seasoned wrestler. The extra things like leg rides and scrambling will come with time, if they focus on proper takedown technique and defense, it really goes a long way.

Plus, this next tournament shouldn't be the goal. If you always focus on just winning the next challenge with your strengths, your weaknesses are never addressed.

Boom.

Practice with people that will bring the roughness and explosion but stick to your own strengths, thats my guess.

How do you beat wrestlers?

Cora already knows how, rubber guard. Just keep doing what you're doing Cora, you just need to get better and stronger :)
