The Who

No, he's not our latest signing. There is a fascinating video from the club on Choc, and other players, learning Brazilian Jio Jitsu. I though this must be marshall arts done hairless - but no. It's helping the players with the wrestle.
As much as I admire the club for keeping up with the latest techniques I think it's a sad indictment on the modern game that players have to be coached on wrestling. Does anybody go to a RL game to watch the grapple? Do you encourage your kids to play RL to see them run, kick, catch, or wrestle?
Oh for the days of skilled footballers, sweeping backline movements, side-steps, deft passes, low cover-defending tackles....
There is a lot wrong with the way the game is played these days. Making the wrestle such an important element of success is one of them.
