Wai Kru

I wrestled with Boston Union at Wai Kru in Allston today.  A few guys from the Bentley College Wrestling Club were there (they don't have a varsity wrestling team).  After drilling, we chose teams and had a dual meet, 3 x 30 second periods.  It was a lot of fun; even though I lost my match 2-0.  Tried to stack him with the western hook & 3/4 nelson at the end but he was too strong.

Wai Kru is a MMA training club and one of the guys (that I made sure not to wrestle) was in Las Vegas last weekend fighting in a UFC match.  He was named fighter of the night and got a $65K bonus.  While we wrestled others were kicking and punching heavy bags or jumping rope.  A couple of guys were doing light sparring in the octagonal cage next to the wrestling mat.  Pretty cool.
