During my trip to the US a few weeks ago my former wrestling team mate Chris Simmons recommended this movie to me. It is a documentary about Jon Trenge, one of the best Division One college wrestlers competing for Lehighand how he overcomes adversity when doctors tell him he can¨t compete anymore because he could loose his vision otherwise. A truly inspiringn story that gives you a very good impression of the intensity of the sport.

Here is the trailer:

Just wanted to share this inspiring news with you since I have been really touched and amazed by it, especially knowing the level of intensity the tournament has ( I competed there myself twice in 1996 and 1998). Anthony Robles managed to win the national college championships (NCAA) in wrestling last weekend at 125 lbs competing with one leg. That is just a proof of the power of the human mind and the things that you can achieve with the right mindset. Anthony managed to change something that most people would classify as a major weakness into a strength and adapted his wrestling style to fit his body type.

Here is a video of the final:

Watch this video of George St. Pierre that reflects his exceptional work ethic, determination and constant strive for improvement which makes him one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world.

Tap Out produced this short movie of two young brothers (8 and 9 years old) training to be MMA fighters in the USA. Amazing wrestling, punching and jiu jitsu talent at such a young age. Let´s see if we see them in the UFC any time soon.
