What if I used my jiu jitsu guard in highschool wrestling? Do you think that could be considered illegal at all or stupid? What is the point of in highschool wrestling anyways? Do you want to takedown and gain side control or?

The object in wrestling is to build up points by take downs and turn overs. Or pin your opponant on their back. Why would you want to lay on your back and ket your opponant get on top of you. First off if you fall back words and he lands on you thats 2 points for him (10) wins the match. Second all he has to do from there is hold you down while the clock ticks or move up and pin you. Even if you hold him between your legs for a while you will likey get a penalty and/or the ref will just stand you up again or put you in the refs position then he's on top again.
Use your single/double leg take downs and pining techniques from Ju Jitsu. Just don't try to put any arm locks on you'll get disqualified and maybe thrown out of the tournament.

Since everyone has answered your guard question. Let me answer your question about whats the point of high school wrestling. Its true that Greco-Roman wrestling may not have the submissions jujitsu has, but the throws, and slams work great for MMA. Just look at some of the top UFC fighters. Most have a wrestling background rather then a jujitsu one.

if you are on your back for more than 2 seconds, they get points.
if your shoulders are flat, they win. using a guard isnt a good idea for an extended period, however i have used it breifly to try to bridge and roll somebody over as they were taking me down. it is a risky move though, and if your opponent is any good they will probably pin you, which is the ultimate goal of highschool wrestling.
wrestling is not very practical if you look at it from a jujitsu/mma standpoint. your main goal is to either get points for takedowns, back points, or escapes.... or to get a pin.

Might I add that slamming in wrestling is a penalty. I do Judo nationally and wrestled in high school, (I graduted 2006), and if your knees are not on the ground before the opponent hits the mat you could be called for a slam penalty. Try not to use the more powerful throws from Jujitsu, but the ground work and leg sweeps are very nice for wrestling.

A lot of common sence stuff (disregard submissions), like throws and lock are very common between jiu jitsu, any kind of wrestling, judo and lots of other martial arts and sports. So first you should learn the proper rules of your wrestling and then apply your jiu jitsu skills, with filtering out the illegal moves. If you have done a fair bit of jiu jitsu, especially brazilian, your footwork is probably very good, which is the priority in a good wrestling, footwork, grabs and balance are probably what you mainly have advantage in after jiu jitsu, so fell free to use them as well. Develop your own signature move by applying some of the jiu jitsu knowledge, and go out there and kick some ****!!! Good luck, man

in order to have a guard dont you have to be on your back? if thats the case it wouldnt work because that'd be a pin in wrestling. a pin means you lose.
