Upper Iowa wrestling team. From that day forward I could not wait to get to college and experience the college life. Many colleges wanted me to join their school. I chose Upper Iowa over two other colleges the two main reasons were: First, the way they do their scheduling is very nice, you only have to take 3 classes, at most, per term and there is only two terms in a semester. I felt this college was best to get me a degree in the career that I am pursuing. Second, was the wrestling program and…

accomplishments. I almost always tell people about them. I love the sport of wrestling, and I spend every day doing it. It has given me quite a few characteristics that make me unique and that definitely set me apart from others; these include perseverance, boldness, and humbleness. These traits are very good to know when dealing with my everyday life. Perseverance is one of the most important qualities that I have learned from wrestling. In this sport, it is a necessity. During practice, in…

brothers wrestling for the High School. His head coach was close with my brother so he also knew me. He was and still is an social studies teacher at Heritage Middle school which is connected in the School district of 197. Every morning at Heritage he would see me and always call me by my brothers name and always bug me about wrestling and trying out for it. Over time of always bugging me about wrestling, I ended up taking his advice and decided to wrestle. When i tried out for wrestling at the…

before as Bully Ray. TNA also currently have a story line involving Bully Ray in a whodunnit. His character persona as Bully Ray suited him very fittingly as he was rewarded with the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at one point. My question is. Would WWE be willing to give him a solo run? Or even a WWE World Heavyweight Championship run? With his current character i'd say no. If WWE could somewhat use his character to the maximum as TNA did. I'd like to think the answer was yes. If you…

This year is expected to be a huge year for the WBU Novice World Champion Rock Blackwell. Blackwell was born in Baltimore, Maryland. His heritage is of African Hebrew and Yahudah Isreal descent. Blackwell began boxing at just seven years old and holds an amateur record of 156-28. It hasn't been a cake walk for Blackwell. He lost his first professional fight in 2009, due to a broken right hand and life threatening levels of dehydration. Not to mention, he was forced to jump up a class to super…

There are three types of movements that I know only too well. The first is the sweep: the initial take down of the opponent’s body by knocking his legs out from under him until he falls to the ground. Each bone pulsates in its own unique way as it braces for the impact while being crushed to the floor. The second movement is watching the Sensei urging the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitor to regain his stance. All of this eventually leads to the “tapping out” when you tap the floor to indicate…

I played the sport with a passion, even though it wasn’t my favorite. There were tons of stories and memoires that I made over the years, however there is one that would go down in my schools history. One of my favorite memories of high school wrestling, that would be the moment when I saved the team by winning the last match and beating one of our rivals, Timberland. The event was held at my school Francis Howell Central. I wrestled in the heavy weight class, even though I was under weight…

names for attendance. This was Sebastian’s first wrestling tournament, Randy’s third. They are both eighth graders. Sebastian has no clue what he is doing. “What seed are you anyway? I’m 2nd” Randy Asked Excitedly. “6th. I’m not that good at wrestling anyway.” Sebastian never really cared about sports, he just did it to be with Randy and his other friends. Randy, on the other hand, had been training since he was 6. He knew so many moves in wrestling, and a lot of them were advanced. He was…

“Fighting stances ready,” the ref yelled, trying to get the crowd into the match, “begin.” On one side of the ring stood a Gilath of a man, Jackson, and the other side was a small guy, Alan, who looked kind of like the person that gets picked on in high school movies. The martial arts tournament was coming to a close for that day, and the judges were starting to fade, so they were letting the rules slide a bit more than usual. The matchup between Alan and Jackson wasn’t supposed to happen, but…
