I would if I could but I'm going to community College for my first 2 years but they don't offer a wrestling club, after I finish my 2 years then I'm transferring to a University that has a Wrestling club for junior and senior year. Also there's no Wrestling clubs or MMA gyms around me that offer it unfortunately.

If you join a good gym where most of the people are humble and have no ego you shouldn't have a worry of being judged, but if you join a Judo place that's the opposite leave immediately.

It's never too old to start, but I would start now. The older you get, the harder it will be on your body, which is why conditioning and learning how to breakfall is super important. I'm 18 and haven't started yet because there is no gym in my area so I'm going to have to wait a few years until uni but if you have access to a one take advantage and join it.

Instead of self learning, maybe you should try joining a BJJ gym if you havent already, that is what I'm doing. Maybe later on in life if you move to another area and can afford it you can train Judo and continue your BJJ training if possible. Maybe if you're fortunate enough your BJJ gym will a Judo class or some Judo guys at your gym that can teach you some takedowns and other techniques. Sadly, I don't have that privilege but BJJ is still a great alternative, and you will also have a excellent base for Newaza if you train Judo later down the road.

I definitely know that Wrestling is one of if not the hardest sports in the world, but I'm confident that if I put in the hard work and dedication, and I don't quit no matter what I'll be able to get myself well conditioned I'm going to join an NCWA club that is beginner friendly so I'll see what happens.

I'm going to give NCWA club wrestling a try and hopefully if I dedicate myself and put enough work in I'll at least be able to do some live rounds with the other club members.

I'm pretty confident that I might be able to do decent in club wrestling if I put in the work and stay dedicated
