I'm going to wrestling school in 4 or 5 years in hopes to become a pro wrestler, think learning Martial Arts would help me?

I appreciate you asking this. I would definitely agree with my friend Rikzar that greater training would definitely result in all of the other qualities. I would also like to add that all the technique from years of training doesn't mean squat if you don't have the conditions to not gas out. Some people think because they know more than someone else they can defeat another in a matter of seconds. When facing another martial artist it is a ridiculous thought that you will be able to knock them out or defeat them in a matter of seconds if your conditions are not as high as your opponent. That is one reason you won't find me spending so much time here in the future as I have a fight to train for starting tommorow and for the next few months. So with greater training, in my opinion comes more skill, greater endurance, and all the fine qualities that you have listed here. Aloha

Everyone should learn a Martial Art. It will make you a better person. If you want to be a pro wrestler, take acting lessons.

Any decent school is going to have a beginners class. There will be plenty of other white belts in the class. Be very careful about which gym you join, especially with all of the newer "MMA" gyms popping up. There are a lot of bad gyms, or "McDojos" out there that are under-qualified, and only interested in taking your money. As far as which martial art to take, that's completely up to your personal preference. Are you looking for grappling, striking, or both? Eastern or Western? My advice would be to visit all of the schools that you are interested in, take the free classes, talk to the coaches and students, and inspect the facilities.Your 15, you might also think about joining your high school wrestling team, if your school has one. I personally ended up settling on Judo and Kickboxing after taking free classes at quite a few gyms. I thoroughly enjoy both. I also highly recommend Tae Kwon Do. Most people don't know this, but Tae Kwon Do incorporates solid grappling skills with it's well known powerful kicks. One last thing, please don't get caught up in the hype surrounding the popular styles in modern MMA, namely UFC, and think that other styles are "junk".

A great martial art you could join similar to wrestling would be jiu jitsu. It is one of the most effective martial arts, and is proven to beat karate, ti kwon do, kung fu, etc. A great school you could join would be called Gracie jiu jitsu.
