#66 Eric Huebner: Transitioning from Wrestling to Jiu-Jitsu

From I Suck At Jiu Jitsu Show

We always talk in jiu-jitsu about how easy guys who wrestled in school have it.

"They just need to learn some submissions."

I hear that all of the time. But, is it true?

I find that a majority of wrestlers that come in, don't stick with jiu-jitsu for some reason or another. Today I(@thejoshmckinney) have the pleasure of interviewing Eric Huebner(@erichueb12), one of my brown belts who was(and still is) a phenomenal wrestler and has transitioned into being sold out for gi jiu-jitsu.

We dig into what it was like making that jump and why he loves jiu-jitsu so much.

We also are able to tell the crazy story of the first time that I ever directly experienced racism.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
