> I don't know of any other martial art where your formative years are spent being kicked up in the ass. Judo and Wrestling kicked my ass as much, if not more,

  Wrestlers have the highest work ethic and ability to keep pushing out there. I wish I had trained wrestling in high school, but it didn't appeal to me at the time. We get a lot of wrestlers who come in and try BJJ. Of those who don't give up in frustration after a couple weeks, they turn into monsters. But I'd say that a lot of wrestlers quit BJJ early on because they're used to their power and wrestling technique getting them through, and not being able to pass someone's guard is frustrating. It's humbling (and also frustrating) to get swept and choked by a guy 40% smaller then you, over and over again. But if a wrestler says "How did you do that?" or "What should I do there?", you know you've got a potential monster on hand.
