He’s naturally a really sweet kid, but when he steps out on that mat you can see a transformation come over him and it’s all controlled aggression and intensity. I’m a real proud father.

Update: After yesterday’s tournament in OKC, my boy is now 20-1 after losing in the finals. We’ve been working on combining moves from the bottom position and he got a little too fancy. He switched to a sitting position and attempted a granby roll to escape. The kid he was wrestling was really strong and used the roll to catch him in a cradle. Got the 3 back points and ended up winning 8-5. Oh well, live and learn.

Have Billay coach him in how to escape from the bottom position.
