Whatever, I could take him.

3/4/2011 9:58:36 PM

Yeah, I'm sure I could kick his ass

3/4/2011 10:02:11 PM

that kid loves cock

3/4/2011 10:06:16 PM

the mohawk means he's serious

3/4/2011 10:27:26 PM

this kid's parents are on the same field as those toddlers & tiara parents

3/4/2011 10:30:54 PM

A million $bucks says this kid will become a douchebag when he gets older.

3/4/2011 10:34:43 PM

i think that's pretty much a given

3/4/2011 10:35:10 PM

he's going to rape a woman in college

then get sent to jail

then rape a man

3/4/2011 10:38:15 PM

That sounds surprisingly like your life story

3/4/2011 10:40:54 PM

damn i think that kid has better technique at 8 than i did when i was 15 after 9 years of wrestling

3/4/2011 11:45:44 PM

With a mohawk like that, how can you not be a threat at that age?

3/5/2011 12:07:39 AM

that kid's a beast. he's got a nasty head and arm that's his bread and butter but some of his technical stuff is better than I ever could do after 6 years of wrestling for high school and ncsu. the peterson he hit on that kid and then the single outside leg from on-top into a figure four was SICK. he might challenge kael sanders' record.

3/5/2011 1:34:01 AM

(note, i know zip about wrestling)

the footwork on that kid from 1:38-1:44 is really impressive

3/5/2011 1:59:39 AM

That leg cradle at around the 2:00 mark is pretty fucking badass.

3/5/2011 3:07:22 AM

lol, holy shit...

3/5/2011 5:59:32 AM

hes got nothin on the little kid that could bench 3 times his body weight

3/5/2011 6:34:16 AM

So what you guys are saying is that you all were shitty wrestlers

Got it

3/5/2011 7:41:49 AM

This kid's wrestling skills are seriously legit. He is fundamentally sound in both his offensive technique and defensive sprawling and counters. His single leg takedowns are some of the smoothest I've ever seen out of a wrestler of any age.

Aside from his superior skills, he has the right aggressive attitude of a #winning wrestler that I definitely lacked at a young stage. Some people might take that as being a douchebag, but that mindset definitely contributes to being successful in scholastic wrestling.

The only thing I question is the skill level of his competitors.

3/5/2011 9:21:36 AM

Am I the only one that's a little disturbed that they let kids wrestle competitively at such a young age?

3/5/2011 10:08:02 AM

It's not a big deal when everyone's skill level is evenly matched.

Unless some freak of nature like this kid comes along. He probably traumatized many of his competitors.

Yeah I was a little put off when he slammed the other kid's head into the ground.

3/5/2011 10:50:03 AM

how you gonna wrestle not competitively? the entire point is to assert your will over someone else and slam em flat.

3/5/2011 10:59:39 AM

haha I bet he could beat me up

IMO this happens a lot more frequently in younger ages when kids go through huge growth spurts and developments over night and end up towering over all of their peers. Although this kid seems to be the same size as everyone, just has a lot more skill.

Sound like I'm being a pussy about it, but with something as competitive and individualized (is that a word?) as wrestling...I just think its a little risky to have kids competing in it at such an early age. It's alright if your team gets wrecked in a little league baseball/soccer/basketball/football game because the blame isn't solely on you, but spread out to the rest of your team. But it's got to be kind of tough on a kid when he gets destroyed on a wresting mat in front of everyone. Seems a little dangerous as well.

Oh well...

There is another video of him on youtube where they show the ends of his matches where all his competitors are crying when they shake hands.

Look out King, he's got da URN!!!

3/5/2011 11:32:57 AM

it's only a problem if your kid is a pussy, which is a direct reflection on his parents both passing on being a pussy then trying to live vicariously through the kid, hoping he'll somehow not be a pussy, and entering him into a sport where you have to be a man and assert yourself. nevermind the kid is unprepared to do such. this kinda parenting is for ymca sports leagues, not competitive ones.

if a kid gets his ass beat, you tell him tears are unacceptable and either cut the suck or find something else to do. i picked up wrestling in high school and college but did taekwondo tournament fighting from the same age (5 or 6). i had the benefit of going 3 full years before I ever lost but when I did, and jesus christ i did (devastating knockout), there were no tears and sulking was unacceptable. nobody liked the kids that cried when you beat on em and it was a direct reflection on their parents.

No - the mohawk means his parents are tattooed white trash.

No - his attitude means his parents are white trash.

No - his arms bowed out to his sides when he walks means his parents are white trash.

3/5/2011 12:29:57 PM

Maybe the parents gave him a mohawk to make him more aggressive and intimidating. They certainly are doing something right

3/5/2011 12:35:58 PM

^
Yeah great way to raise a child.

3/5/2011 12:38:38 PM

Better than raising him as another justin beiber looking hipster faggot

those aren't the only two options

True, but its better to err on the side of caution

3/5/2011 12:47:58 PM

Okay, well, if you're gonna be white trash, you might as well be an ass kicker about it.

3/5/2011 12:48:57 PM

O'DOYLE RULES

3/5/2011 12:50:41 PM

COME AT ME, BRO

3/5/2011 1:31:05 PM

That kid is one bad dude.

3/5/2011 2:21:16 PM

nice. this kid has better technique than a lot of middle and high school kids i have coached

That's why they have weight classes in wrestling. You're not the first person to thing of this.

D'oh! Self-PWN results in well-deserved call out.

3/5/2011 9:04:05 PM

This kid isn't just the same size...he's actually much smaller than a lot of the opponents I've seen in the videos.

It's impressive. Of course, it gets more impressive if he gets larger and his skills develop at the same pace. Some kids get big and can't even put food in their mouths without spilling all over the place...let's see if he's clumsy or what.

3/5/2011 9:04:28 PM

I'm surprised they don't make them wear head gear. Lil' dude is gonna have cauliflower ear by the time he's 12

Oh, and he has a mean Switch. I wrestled for 6 years, plus some BJJ afterwards, and I doubt I could teach that kid a single move.
