If you’re a fan of individual sports, wrestling is one of the finest. I worked the collegiate matches at Iowa State for a number of years and the athleticism of these guys is way beyond anything I saw in any other sport with the possible exception of gymnastics.

I basically did jacksh*t in my young life, but one of the things I did get involved in was freestyle wrestling, in high school. That was an eye opening experience. Probably some of the best overall athletes you would ever meet. Football players would wrestle in the off season to stay in shape, and ALL of them dreaded wrestling practice. Said wrestling was much harder than football.

That is also where I learned that "flashy Martial Arts" are a joke, in terms of fighting. Once MMA started, I knew it would take off, that it was the real deal.

It is a great sport, and even though my young kids are enrolled in traditional MA, when they get old enough, I'll see if I can get them into freestyle wrassling, "America's Martial Art".
