Lightbulb Should i join wrestling?!

Should i join wrestling? I want to do a sport and wrestling seems like my best option, because i take jiu jitsu. Granted, i am in 9th grade and weigh about 125 pounds, i don't have a gut and am not fat but im not ripped and don't have a six pack or anything....

I agree, you should definately take it.
especially if you are in JJ. it helps a lot as 47martialman said.
hey, don't get discouraged, because I am in 10th grade, 135lbs, and i am ripped like crazy, but not buff at all.
i don't want to be buff, but i am too thin
I am here with ya buddy

If you do, and stick with it, you won't regret it. If you can, but don't, you will regret it later.

i will love to learn it to help my MA and all but i guess it is just not my thing. I don't like classifying myself in terms of Striker or wrestler and all like in the UFC, but i guess wrestling is too slow paced/ action for me

If wrestling is too "slow paced" for you, I think you are not familiar enough with the topic.

oops, after i said i don't like to classify myself as a striker and all that, i meant to say that i would rather do striking techniques than wrestle.

sorry, I was talking on the phone and i was zoning out.

Well I guess enough has been said, by those with a lot of experience, about regrets, but everyone's got to make their own choices.
