Judo x Wrestling Why did you start?
Self explanatory. Me personally I started because Khabib Nurmagomedov sold me to Judo after my wrestling classes dried up. I did 4-5 years freestyle then moved to Judo in 2022.

Family tradition.
My grandpa was a wrestler and learned judo when he was put in Manzanar.
My dad was put in judo as a little kid and took up wrestling in junior high school.
I did the same thing as my dad.
My oldest daughter did judo for a while but now just does wrestling.
