So this is kind of a semantic point, but to me "wrestling" is like an umbrella term, and you have subtypes of it, but it's all wrestling
So for example, there's 2 types of "wrestling", there's
>jacket wrestling
and
>no-jacket wrestling
No-jacket wrestling can include the ones you probably know, like the olympic styles
>freestyle
>greco-roman
but also
>american folkstyle
but also more esoteric ones, like
>sumo
>scottish backhold
Then you have jacket wrestling, and the obvious example is
>judo
but there's also
>sport / combat sambo
>shui jiao
then more that add limitations, like being unable to remove your grip, like
>irish collar and elbow
>chidaoba
and then ones that don't use a literal "jacket" at all, but just something else that you grip to, like
>bokh
>belt wrestling
And probably loads of others
And not to mention
>arm wrestling
Which is genuinely a style of wrestling, just hyper-limited
If you enjoy judo but want to branch out, one option is to find another club near you and try something different. Nothing wrong with that. But you might try talking to some of your training partners and seeing if any of them want to drill some no-gi stuff with you after class?
