It's a solid solid base to go into the sport with... thats undoubtable. Hughes, Trigg, Couture, Jackson, Liddell, Henderson all were great wrestlers before going into MMA and thats approaching a who's who of UFC.
As long as you are somewhat athletically gifted, which you appear to have no issues with, you are spot on with your assessment. Its just going to take a bit of concentration to get old habits out and new ones in. Wrist control is important in JJ though. Just watch, take notes and learn! :D Do find a gym, as with most things, doing it is the best way to learn!
