When you say wrestling takedowns, do you mean sacrifice takedowns where you fall too?

What kind of wrestling are you talking about? High school/collegiate is one way but I would recommend catch-as-catch-can submission wrestling. In my humble opinion it is superior to BJJ. Karl Gotch trained Matt Fury who in turn trained one of the Deputies on my shift. We cross train each other. Catch is brutal!
For example, they will not even teach you techique one until you can do 500 Hindu Squats, 250 Hindu push-ups and hold a back bridge with hands folded over your chest/nose to mat for 3 minutes. Then and only then are you ready to train.

Akja,
I understand your point, and realize I am only the messenger. Their concept is that you will not be able to utilize the training until you've reached a certain level of fitness. How strictly they adhere to this nowadays I can't say.
The way I prefer to train differs somewhat. I typically incorporate the following into any given workout session after a warm up period [stretching and dynamic tension static line drills];
Handstand push ups
Hindu Squats
Hindu push ups
Calf raising
Crunches
Finger tip push ups
Wide squats
Knuckle push ups
Thigh lunge
Staff curling
Windlass
Then regular dynamic tension exercises such as tiger claw, dry land swimming, palm prayer press etc. Motion line drills work on the aerobic conditioning.
I will occasionally throw in different exercises for interest and to 'shake' the body up. The amount expected depends on the beginning condition of a student as well as his/her level. Disabilities are of course an exception. As the student progresses so does the amount of effort expected.
I expect any of my Dan level students to be able to perform all of the above in the amounts listed such as 500 Hindu squats/250 Hindu push ups etc as a minimum!
This is in addition to the normal arm/leg pounding & rubbing exercises, body conditioning drills, dynamic tension stance etc.

Akja,
It's a shame we live on opposite coasts, I would love to train with you. I think we are on the same sheet of music much of the time with similar goals.
Who knows...maybe one day :asian:
