I cannot apply a decent hold if my life depended on it, never could. My problem is a lack of the skill and strength to challenge serious grapplers, for whom I am too much of pushover. Age has little to do with it, really, and I applaud everyone in his 50s and up who still climb into rings and onto mats to grapple. The last time I wrestled, weeks or days after I started this blog in 2008, it was against a somewhat older and lighter guy in Winston-Salem, who cheerily kicked my ass. But if I had local friends as interested in shoving contests as they are in making a perfect choucroute de la mer, I would get busy once again, I assure you.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03931398523674902390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897648734607335225.post-33976293119318823952011-12-11T08:14:00.989-05:002011-12-11T08:14:00.989-05:00I was struck in this article, Joe, by a biographic...I was struck in this article, Joe, by a biographical fact about you of which I was unaware: You no longer wrestle! Why would you give it up? Lots of guys our age and older still wrestle.<br /><br />MAwrestleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
