"Nobody else knows what we went through together in that ring,"
Reminds me of a quote I heard a UFC fighter say once. Something like "You have a very interesting internal dialogue with another man/woman when you're fighting them"
I used to wrestle for 8 years (a little bit in college, too) and this saying is so true. There's so much that's being communicated in the pressure you apply, how the person's breathing, little hesitations, etc. that's super interesting to think about. You don't have to talk to the person to know when they're beaten or when they've given up. You can just feel it by how they're moving. Crazy. Great post!!! I'm subscribing!

Thanks so much, Thomas! I've never wrestled or done any grappling so this sounds fascinating.
