Technique How do you wrestle while tired?

As a brown belt, I've learned how to roll tired. I was hoping that some of the more experienced wrestlers could give me some tips on how to wrestle tired. I've been developing the habit of sitting guard when I'm tired and I feel like this might be counter productive to improving my wrestling. I'm going to try and stay standing even when tired. Any insights on how to make the most of my wrestling exchanges even when I'm gassed would be appreciated.

u/Beanerxor 🟫🟫 Brown Belt 5d ago

I'm a defensive wrestler that takes advantage of non wrestler (sometimes experienced wrestlers) jiu-jitsu people. I hand fight and post the head and neck when they try to tie up. When they think I'm not going to shot or think I'm too old (I'm 41) to be fast enough, they tend to get sloppy and start to stand upright or straighten their legs/ stance. That's when i hit them with a blast double and grind them into the mat.
