Am wrestling primarily for the exercise and sweaty fun. For me it is about enjoying the man to man contact/struggle 🤼‍♂️ . Ideally a good match will have both men struggling to gain the advantage, practicing holds/escapes, be sweaty and exhausted; and maybe more if the chemistry is right. Am in decent shape given my age, but I started this late in life. Now aging and avoiding injury limit my "competiveness". Since injury has become more of risk, it`s primarily fun and exercise over competing. Have wrestled bigger and younger guys, sometimes successfully, but wrestlers nearer to my age, weight and skill level will make for a more fun match. It is always more interesting if the match outcome is uncertain.

Am still trying to improve my wrestling skills, but it is slow going and a two–year Covid break did not help . Any coaches or sparring partners around?

In addition to Spanish, "je parle une peu de français" and am trying to improve my Italian. Asheville is home base, and often travel to Atlanta, Florida, and Europe twice yearly. My pictures are pre-Covid and will be updating soon. Though I still look about the same.
