Answer 1

BJJ is a lot different than wrestling. u can't use submissions or chokes in high school wrestling match. however, BJJ can still provide you with takedowns and takedown defense. some sweeps can work too in wrestling but its seperate for the most part.

i wud say judo is a good martial art to take if u wanna wrestle in high school. It'll teach u throws that u can utilize, and ground work.

Answer 2

try greco roman wrestling or pankration. there are many different styles of wresting you can learn. remember though that, judo and bjj are much different than wrestling.

Answer 7

Judo. Learn judo throws, they are freakin awesome.

Answer 8

jiu-jitsu or muay thai

Answer 9

brazian ju jitsu. it will teach you all sorts of submission moves. how ever you could take judo or sambo. the first thing you will learn is the bad habits that wrestling teaches you when your opponent is trying to choke you or tweak your arm you have on the map. brazialn ju jitsu is what you see more of in the ufc. but karo parision uses judo and he is a beast and fedor(ranked #1) uses sambo. they are all good and will be waht your looking for. try a few gyms of each and see which you like
