Judo is a definately a good one, it incoporates a lot of throws that wrestling (especially Greco) uses. Plus it has a similar mentality about matwork, as you have pins in Judo as well.





BJJ (the type of Juijitsu I think you are talking about) is o.k. but not that great for helping you with wrestling. Because of a tendency to be comfortable on your back (pin in wrestling), and the lack of focus on takedowns, and it%26#039;s focus on submissions (not used in wrestling). While I think it is a great art, and you will learn leverage and how to get a dominant position, you will work a lot of positions that are quite unfavorable for a wrestler.





Catch Wrestling and No Gi Submission wrestling (if you are able to find such places) are excellent for helping your wrestling (focus on position over submission), not to mention give you the No Gi aspect.





Those are what I would think of as far as direct correlations. There are plenty of arts that help with flexibility and conditioning (two major things needed in wrestling), as well as some that have a few elements that can be used for wrestling.





In my opinion, Judo is one of the best traditional MA%26#039;s to assist with high school type wrestling.
Reply:Judo.
Reply:Definitely either one. Judo tends to focus on more grappling and locks and would probably help you best, while Jujitsu incorporates a little more hand techniques in their style. Another option if you want something that focuses on strikes, but still deals with wrestling-like throws and holds is Aikido. Hope that helps!
Reply:Both Judo and Ju Jitsu are good options as they deal with grappling. Judo is a little more like wrestling.
Reply:judo, sambo, jiujitsu, catch wrestling
Reply:Both Judo and Jujitsu would help with Freestyle or Greco-Roman wrestling, but for Scholastic wrestling, many of the throws would be illegal.

Reply:Judo is better than Jujitsu for high school wrestling, I have no doubt about this.





Jujitsu revolves so much around the guard. The guard is not a good move in wrestling.





Judo throws can help alot with your takedowns. Jujitsu doesn%26#039;t focus on throws.





In Judo you can win with a pin, submissions and clean takedown. In Jujitsu it is points for positions and takedown or win with submission.
Reply:judo and jujitsu are good to help certain aspects of wrestling but really grappling is almost it%26#039;s own form of martial art. Wether it%26#039;s folkstyle or freestyle or greco the best way to get better is practice and summer camps and I can give you info on some really good camps if interested.
Reply:Google Shootfighting.
Reply:Hapkido also will use some ground fighting techniques.





Sambo is also a martial art that is close to Judo so therefore it is also a ground fighting discipline.





Pancrase, or Shoot fighting are also two disciplines that work with ground fighting techniques.





Aikido is also, as well as Yudo (a Korean form of Judo), San Soo, Aikijujutsu.





the problem is that most of these disciplines utilize throws that you won%26#039;t be able to use in Highschool or college wrestling.
Reply:Judo and jujitsu are both similar to wrestling. Judo is more similar to freestyle while jujitsu is similar to Greco-Roman. Tae Kwon Do is always a personal favorite which combines wrestling (both types) with realistic fights that would occur in an everyday situation.
