Some Kind of Circle

Dad, Matt and Zach were always into wrestling. I went to a practice once, wanting to watch and see just what my Dad and brothers liked about the sport. As I sat on a mat and watched, Dad came up to me and either said I participated or I didn't belong there.

I didn't go again.

Flash forward to now: I just came back from judo class. A quick browse through the wiki reveals it is one of the four forms of amateur competive wrestling, the others being Greco-Roman, Freestyle and Sambo.

It's a class for beginners: there is one other adult there besides the sensei, all the remaining students are 6th grade age and under.

I'm more dexterous then I have a right to be and less than I need to be. It was a good, full-body workout and I can't wait until Friday night's lesson.
