Wrastling!

Man, the last few weeks have left me thoroughly impressed with wrestlers. From the sidelines it seems like a sport that really demands everything of you both physically and mentally. The moves are highly technical; the slightest shift in position and momentum makes all the difference; a thousand tiny decisions made every moment to organize your weight over your opponent.
I imagine these mental gymnastics become rather difficult to pull off with all the intense physical exertion also involved; to remain both perceptive and aggressive.
I'm of course perfectly happy to entertain my awe from the sidelines and focus on trying to get this stuff across visually. The thought of getting in their myself is genuinely scary.
