Wrestling in Sand?

[biscuitsbrah]

Anyone else here been wrestling in sand?
I find it has really helped my defense because it slows everything down so you can kind of see what’s happening to understand and learn the positions better.

It also helps offense for shot timing because you have to get really close and clean to get takedowns, you can’t really shoot from far out cuz it’s way too slow. And you definitely don’t want to get sprawled out with your face in the sand.

The only cons really is that you end up eating a ton of sand, and at least one person needs to wear a rash guard otherwise the sand hurts both people.

Makes me feel like a Senegalese wrestler without the strikes lol.

The IWW actually puts out official rules and runs international competitions for beach wrestling, if you find you get good at it.

Haha wow that’s really cool. I didn’t know they did that. I’m not nearly on their level though.

Wrestling on the beach is a lot like fucking on the beach. It seems great conceptually, but when you're digging sand out of your ears and ass crack, you remember why mats and mattresses are so damn expensive.
