The boys just finished wrestling this year, and really enjoyed it. So far it has just been fun for them to go and learn some cool moves and wrestle with other kids. Joseph, however was invited to a wrestling meet, because he was seven, and he decided to go. Needless to say it was a learning experience, and he did great! They accidently put him in the wrong weight class, and he was wrestling kids 10 lbs heaver and 2 to 3 years older. So when he won the first match, by points, he was excited! The next two boys were really good and he was pinned by both. This was a wake up call, since they knew what they were doing, and he didn't. He decided that it would be good to learn how to pin, and that wrestling is more than just playing around!
So here is a short clip of him in his first ever REAL match....
We think he has great potential! Go Joseph!
