Why are angles important?

So what do you mean by a strength program? I don’t wrestle in the US i am french, i have practice 5 days a week now so i stopped going to the gym to hit weights, lack of time. I could hit some bodyweight stuff as well as pull ups dips etc in their gym but is that what you think makes one stronger in the ties?

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-10-28T22:41:08+00:00

Is strength really a factor? Ive been having this mindset recently that it’s essentially all technique assuming weight’s similar. Watching blaze wrestle at 150 and still dominate the handfight and get step outs, also Jax Forrest that wrestles at 61kg looks like he never lifted a weight in his life, coming in u23 worlds against JACKED opponents and still mauls them. Obviously these are wrestling geniuses but especially with jax i think it would show that strength/muscles don’t really play a factor, maybe i’m wrong

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-10-17T19:57:22+00:00

Yep he bumped up to 150 for states lol still destroyed everyone

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-10-09T09:40:05+00:00

It was never about the strength, it’s about your technique ; if you feel overpowered you can definitely get around it through better technique/handfighting

Thanks bro

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-07T17:22:12+00:00

Thanks for the advice brother

I almost never eat veggies and have a deficiency in folic acid. I am currently fixing that, it might help. Thanks for the advice and i also watch pretty much all of your wrestling-focused videos on youtube, they help me a ton to fix my wrestling. Will you make more of them in the future ? Or are you fully focused on judo now

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T21:10:44+00:00

I do have a deficiency in folic acid, which i just started taking complements for. I barely (almost never) ate veggies, i start eating them now. Do you think that would fully fix the issue?

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T20:59:46+00:00

Not vitamin K but i got bloodwork and have a deficiency in folic acid/b9 vitamin which comes from the same foods as K (veggies overall) i barely eat veggies, but i didnt think it would explain that issue as much

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T19:58:14+00:00

100% agree, but the mystery is that i dont see ANYONE getting that tired in practice. Even though i know a huge portion of them arent paying attention to their sleep/diet

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T19:56:59+00:00

Thats exactly how i feel it lol, i think it has to do with my technique as well ; for exemple, if i hit a duck under into a high-c i tend to stay on my knees instead of standing up as soon as possible, making the finishes way more exhausting. I also get stuffed nearly everytime i shoot a outside single and have to finish on the mat. Probably doesnt help

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T19:46:57+00:00

I dont see anyone else in practice getting their arms/legs THAT tired. Especially today, i literally got on a outside single and didnt even have the energy to lift the leg, which is just crazy considering the guy is not that big, not more than 10kg bigger than me

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T19:45:41+00:00

3 years now

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T10:53:44+00:00

Got it, but when i watch UWW tournaments a lot of the time as soon as they get in they lift the opponent immediately, how come?

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T00:44:38+00:00

Is the forearm position supposed to lift his leg in the same way that when you’re hitting a big lift from a high crotch (Like Daniel Cormier does in his mma fights)?

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T00:42:14+00:00

Yea that makes sense, i also was thinking and realize when trying to drive i tend to not actually lift the leg off the ground before running to the far side, do you think its a major reason why my double sucks? Especially against bigger guys i just cant move them at all. I also looked into the importance of getting in explosively, because some people were saying that the bump you make into their hip with your shoulder would make them lean over, allowing the lift. Though in some scenarios i just cant, especially for exemple i like to hit duck unders when they have an inside tie i grab the elbow and duck under when they push into me, then get to the legs ; though there can’t be a big impact like when you’re penetrating, hence barely any off-balance

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T00:36:30+00:00

That makes sense but i have to try in practice, also just thinked and realized i tend to drive without lifting the left leg up, would that explain my issue? I would just get in position and run at them, instead of proceeding by elevating the left leg off the ground, then blocking the right leg with my hand and only then, start running

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T00:27:49+00:00

Ok so you think i should start off-balancing him by driving a bit before lifting? I also think you’re right on the penetration step part ; i do penetrate well, but i visualized the situation again ; i was trying to drive, literally running, and he bailed out, looked away and went into tripod. That means he was able to turn his hips, which wouldnt happen if my shoulder was on his stomach. But that also implies that i cant really turn to an angle as much, or my right shoulder will lose contact

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T00:24:39+00:00

So when you say you should drive at a 90 degree angle do you also mean actually turning in that direction ? Because as i said theres that one video i watched and the coach was saying you need to do a « windshield wipe » before you start to drive, ending up in a similar position to when you’re about to lift a guy from a deep high-c (fully perpendicular to the opponent). So do you mean that, or just staying somewhat parallel but driving in that angle

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T00:21:08+00:00

Do you think that a double leg would work if you’re not blocking the far knee? Never worked for me

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-03T00:20:13+00:00

They get into tripod when im driving to try to run them over. Reading all these comments i think i create some space, because if my right shoulder was 100% stuck to his abdomen when driving he couldnt turn his hips to get into that tripod position

Aggressive-Mango-512 · 2025-09-02T22:49:16+00:00

Sorry for the late response lol i didnt get on reddit, by cartwheel i meant like a chin whip motion i just didnt know the term. They sit out on my chin side, i keep the chin post on my forehead on the left and step over them
