They are strong, quick, and they use "bag of bones" simple realistic techniques. There are no complex movements or kuzushi. They simply tear you appart. They definately do not want a tool user against them though, even if was a screw driver weilder. Any respectable martial artist will be willing to spar with a emptyhand guy, what if they had a sword, long knife, or even a 1 inch spyderco cricket..pipe..hammer etc.?Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500538.post-68063645833445835712007-06-12T10:24:00.000-05:002007-06-12T10:24:00.000-05:00We've got some wrestlers who attend our Judo club. Those guys are immensely powerful. Randori with them is like taking the bull by the horns...you basically try and hang on while they toss you around.<BR/><BR/>I think as far as style-for-style matchup goes, it's the BJJ guys who tend to have the best chance. At least, until the wrestlers get wise to detecting submissions coming.Kurthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15761420350409713777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500538.post-21211761810196509492007-06-12T09:36:00.000-05:002007-06-12T09:36:00.000-05:00The thing I remember most about wrestling at school was the conditioning. Fantastic conditioning.<BR/> I was a big upper-body throw guy, I wonder how my strategy would be different if I had learned push-hands at the time?....Dojo Rathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12057645566330892415noreply@blogger.com
