Hello,
My boyfriend and I joined a wrestling/grappling class a few times at our gym. We were both new at it. He runs and does some light resistance training. He's 35 and healthy. So the second time in class he was matched up against a young boy who was learned had a few years training in wrestling and grappling and works out with his parents and a coach. So exceptional I'd say, but still....
Long story short, the boy, who was also smaller beat my boyfriend twice, and my boyfriend was trying. I felt embarrassed and a little shocked because I thought he was more dominant. Not to mention he looked ashamed after and won't go back to the class. I understand that he had lack of training in wrestling but honestly he didn't look that strong either and seemed to be outpowered. He wasn't able to use any leverage or get out of any pins or holds.
Has my boyfriend lost his dominance?
Hope this is the right thread for the topic.
