The biggest problem I see is that a lot off bjj guys “wrestling” is straight spazzing and trying to force dangerous throws or trips and can’t flow and don’t have instructors that can actually teach them how to be more flowing and relaxed about it.
the other big problem is that most bjj coachs, for whatever reason, try to teach level change knee over toe inside steps which are actually Elbert hard and require a good amount of limberness and athleticism. Or advanced throws.
or TLDR: the “takedown instruction” is usually about stuff I wouldn’t have unathletic first year kids do.
Add in certain attitudes and the injuries become self fullfilling prophecy
