A love of wrestling

Wrestling was the start of getting into Karate 💭😊



I had watched wrestling before on TV, British shows when I was younger and later TNA, and my son was keen on playing various wrestling Console games, mainly WWE.



Early in 2017, I took him to see a local wrestling show, "Wrestleforce" and he and I were bitten by the bug.  He was too young to train with an club locally, and we needed him to find a physical outlet, so suggested Karate, which he started towards the end of the year.



We started to watch WWE online and late in 2017, we went to WWE live in London in Wembley Arena.  We went again in August 2018, to the O2 in London ðŸ˜ŠðŸ˜Š.  We might not always like the story lines, but the energy and the enthusiasm of both the Wrestlers and the fans at the live shows shines through!!!!



The favourites we saw included Triple H, Matt Hardy, Rhonda Rowsey,Finn Balor, Kane, Braun Strowman, Asuka, Dolph Ziggler, Bray Wyatt, and many more, but we missed out on Jeff Hardy.



Nevertheless, Wrestling definitely opened the door to Karate, and Karate helped us appreciate the physicality of what Wrestlers do ðŸ˜ŠðŸ˜Š
