I am a novice to wrestling. I seek to acquire the skills of a fighter such that I can hold my own and even overwhelm my opponent, but without injuring him or bringing unnecessary discomfort or pain. I seek not only to learn the skills of a fighter but the mind set of one, controlled aggression without the accompaniment of anger. I wish to earn the respect of my opponents by honoring any and all understandings we arrive at prior to a match and never violate them. I choose not to engage in the role or either a heel or a jobber. If I can prevail against an opponent so much the better. However, I would prefer to step off the mat from fighting a man into the fellowship of a former foe. Wrestling, thus, is something that not only can build a man up physically but also help hone his character. I seek both as well as like-minded men who share such values. Lastly, I expect to respond to any and all individuals in a civil and courteous manner. Let us see what matches we can make, and let’s come together in respect, increasingly prepared to fight with real heart and soul.
