Another session with matworker this afternoon. My technique coming back slowly, also remembering how to escape from holds, and enjoying the sheer thrill of man-to-man combat. Towards the end I asked him to put me into some especially painful holds - he has a mean figure 4 leglock! Couldn't get out of that one but I hung on as long as I could. Again the aches and pains afterwards but it proves that I've been in a fight. I need more now - let's be having you chaps!

I had my first wrestling session for a while last Sunday, with matworker. He was aware that I had been out of the game for a while and we started slowly, then he began to increase the pressure and to use his weight advantage. I think I acquitted myself quite well, I still need to improve my technique but I also have a high pain threshold! Unfortunately he also has the latter so it was difficult to get a sub out of him! It was all great fun, lots of aches and pains but I'm ready to do it again - as often as possible.
