Mid-Atlantic Fighters

There was an Open Mat Day on May 7th. Only 4 wrestlers showed but it was a great time. That was mainly due to the real pro wrestler and instructor that our host arranged to be on hand. A bundle of energy and skill, he wrestled with each of us and led us through learning some grappling stuff as well as trying out a few pro moves. He moved easily from going fully competitive with the 2 guys way heavier than him to dialing it way down for me for some light, back and forth play/fun wrestling. The two big dudes battled each other and had a couple three way tag matches with the pro. One of he heavyweights (220 I think) promised he would not crush me (135 for sure). I'm always a little doubtful but he had excellent control of his weight and strength and we had a great roll. I've loved each of these meets I've attended. They are open to any skill level from raw beginner on and to any style wrestling that two men want to try. The guys have been friendly, there is no pressure to do anything if you don't want to, and no one criticizes another's ability (or lack thereof). I remain puzzled as to why more guys don't take advantage of these great chances to meet and wrestle others into the world's first and greatest sport. The next gathering is tentatively scheduled for early July, hopefully with improved advance notice.

Thank you for report on the day. I appreciate that the opportunity was provided. Unfortunately for me, I haven’t been able to attend—yet. Wrestle on, men!

I also had a good time wrestling at the open mat day. The next one is on July 9th. I hope I can get the day off of work to attend.

So I take it the open house is still going to happen tomorrow.

Yes it is still happening tomorrow noon to 5

Sounds great, just wanted to know before I make the drive there.
