Weapon: you are the weapon

Are you tired of listening to endless monologues about techniques from your trainer?
Do you hate pretending to care about the finesse of some obscure move you know you’ll never use anyway?
Are you fed up with acting as if you have a deep academic interest in “acquiring wisdom”?

Or would you rather just move, spar, and turn your training time into a game?

Then look no further. Switch off your brain and discover how to learn wrestling through a playful approach, and without the excessive use of your precious cerebral cortex. After all, throwing people on the ground is not rocket science.

About the trainer – Bert Obernosterer

This is Bert.

Don’t get fooled by his youthful appearance and good looks, for he is one of the longest serving members of Dreynschlag. He doesn’t fence much these days, but has been competing in grappling and BJJ events ever since 2008. He is supposed to wear black around his waist, but enjoys flamboyant leggings and matching rashguards instead.

Since the midlife crisis is burning bright in him, he still refuses to wrestle among his peers (other old men), but prefers to take on opponents that could easily be his sons (which hopefully they are not – his memories of the early 2000s are already a bit fuzzy and keep fading away in the mist of time).
