Yeah, no. If this is the impression you've gotten then the "wrestling" you've been doing is of a pretty low level.

It is, I'm not a great wrestler, but against better wrestlers than me, if they aren't also stronger, they have a way harder time than a BJJ guy who's not stronger but is more skilled. I don't mean that technique doesn't matter, just that strength is more important in wrestling than in BJJ.
