The Stronghold is now an official USA Wrestling club! Thanks to one of our instructors, Jim Perondi, we have been set up to be a club here in San Diego. Jim is a Roy Harris Purple Belt, and also has previously coached wrestling teams at Hilltop Middle, Hilltop High and Santana High School.It is pretty well known that Wrestling and Jiu Jitsu are very similar, but at the same time have very many clashing principles. We have had many wrestlers who have had to abandon certain wrestling habits when training Jiu Jitsu, and vice versa. For example, Tommy, Reggie, and Renzo have all recently started wrestling at their schools, and during the initial training sessions, had to "rewire" some of their Jiu Jitsu habits. However there are many benefits to know both Wrestling and Jiu Jitsu techniques which are necessary for tournaments, so it's good to be well rounded in both styles. We look forward to our participation in the USA Wrestling association. See you on the mats!
