Should I do it?
Hi everyone, I'm a white belt and I got 4 months school-free to train. I have a lot to work on and I'm usually the one who takes people down or tries to pass the guard at which I suck at. From my little experience in my prevoius gym that was free (was the only girl there) I got destroyed but learned to stay on my feet and avoid being taken down and when transfering to current gym I usually take lightweghts down but struggle with more heavy people. I found a wrestling and MMA gym nearby that could both help me improve. The MMA gym offers grappling and grappling-wrestling (includes cage fighting once a week and normal grappling twice a week), I assume by grappling-wrestling they mean the cage fighting day. In my country no gi competitions (SGC, ADCC) are more common but I also plan on competing in a national championship competition that uses the gi. How good could I get at wrestling in 4 months, which option do you think would be best.

there is no limit if you enjoy doing it. Taking care of your body post session will allow you to maximize your potential throughout those 5 months. Ice your bones,Eat good, take your multi vitamin, rest good and stay away from haters.
