Sage Northcutt

[Mr. IWS]

He credits his karate base for his success.

He may say that publicly, but his wrestling ability is what made him a champion.

He may say that publicly, but his wrestling ability is what made him a champion.

On the JRE he said it was his karate that allowed him to get in on opponents:

That's what I use for my takedown, the shoot, that people see, it's zero wrestling. It has nothing to do with my wrestling. My wrestling is once I get that leg, I'll finish the takedown. But how I get in and out is because of karate.

People are like, ‘no way, Karate, no.' And I'm like, 'yes.' Karate allows me to cut the distance and take the people down. I have a very good single, a very good double and very good penetration. It's because of my leg, the way I do it, and the timing is because of my karate. I wrestle, too, but my karate is primary. Before I started wrestling, I was a karate guy pure.
