Similar experience with Brazilian Jui Jutsu. If you pick up these sports late, you fundamentally move differently from the guy that's been fighting since he was a toddler. I can tell you the second someone walks in if they have a wrestling background. Experience helps but every now and then you come across someone that's picks up more in a year than you do in 5. Just look at J Rod winning ADCC's this year as a blue belt.

Ok, so I'm not the only one who's noticed the wrestler walk? Like, something in their posture or their gait. Idk what it is, but you can just eyeball a dude and be like, "yeah he knows what a Granby roll is"

it's probably the pelvic tilt

As a former wrestler now I'm wondering how I walk.

I wanted to post specifically because mentioning the Granby roll, it's one of those memories that stick out to me. I went to a camp specifically focused on it, I think in Pennsylvania, with someone who was pretty well known but I can't remember who it was. There I learned how to do a standing granby.

Many years later, in recent history, I demonstrated a side flip, all thanks to that camp.

Interesting Cedric seems to have started as a teenager, and wants to get back to it because of a regret of not doing well in nationals. This is similar to a regret I have in a tournament that I know I could have done better in.

But there's really no wrestling as an adult.

There's a lot of feelings I have wrt the article, and similarities to programming, and learning. But I'll save the wall of text.

Jay Rod won ADCC NA trials. This is a qualifier to get into ADCC. He then lost in the first round of actual ADCC.

Correct, I should have specified. Regardless a shocking showing for someone so new to the sport.
