Saturday September 17 2016 - Intensity, charged and intimacy	Passion for wrestling
The great thing with wrestling is that you can gauge the intensity of the match and you can switch between being aggressive to being absolutely cuddly. In the heat of a submission match, you work hard to get your opponent to tap, you wrap them up in a body scissors and you squeeze them with all your might. When your opponent submits, you release the hold gradually, you put your hand on the back of his head withone hand and with the other, you slowly caress his back using a very soft touch... After about a minute, you start cranking up the pressure again. Your opponent hardens his waist or abs and tries to resist to your submission hold, but he'll ultimately fail. You'll embrace or caress him again, showing that little bit of mercy between your lapses of torture... and you can continue this loop for as long as you want. After having fought for several hours, you can rest arm in arm. Or... you can put the side of your face on his pec and one arm over his other chest... or he can be the one doing it on you. Both of you take a breather or if both of you are exhausted, then a little nap together will define this intimacy between you and your opponent. Yeah, I did wrestle this week-end, but I won't tell against whom. It's important here to learn and respect the holds that your opponent like and dislike. You have to filter them out properly or use them moderately. A little bit of disliked holds can contribute to pumping up the aggressivity of your opponent and make the match more entertaining or intense, but too much of it will spark up a whiff of anger and distrust that can ultimately destroy the friendship between wrestlers. Sometimes, it's also better to completely annihilate those disliked holds or agree in advance what holds are completely barred from the match. Handicap is an element I put in when I feel that I have a greater advantage against an opponent. For example, if body scissors give me an unfair advantage and guarantees me a win, I can at one point decide to stop applying them to give my opponent a chance against me. After all, we're both supposed to have fun. It ain't fun if the opponent feels that he is completely overpowered and that there's nothing he can do to make you tap. Toning the intensity down, leaving your opponent attacking first or purposely letting him apply a move are other examples of handicapping the match. This method is also ideal when fighting against beginners who would like to learn more about submission wrestling. Not to worries, I've been many times on the other end: I remember fighting opponents that were way superior than me in terms of experience and skills. In most cases, the neat thing they did was that they switched from submission to pro. In pro, you can easily reverse the role and this is the opportunity for you to take the upper hand and learn a different set of moves. If you were losing in sub, then you'll likely win in pro. It's also a great way to take revenge on all those holds where your opponent made you tap in a very friendly way. Pro is much more elaborate than this, but this will be for another time.
