However, from his opponent's perspective it's got to be challenging. How do you plan / practice for such an opponent. Regular moves just wouldn't work. How do you get the in the right frame of mind. I remember wrestling a girl in 3rd grade and I thought it was hard to just have the same approach to the match. So to step on the mat with this guy has got to be tough.
Not taking anything away from this kids accomplishments.
I agree. It sounds stupid, but it almost gives him an unfair advantage. Other wrestlers are used to having the hands and feet of their opponents to grab and make moves on. They have to completely change their approach to the match while he does not have to be concerned about that.
Same kind of thing goes for females getting into wrestling (saw this on Outside the Lines this morning). The guys they wrestle against can't feel comfortable grabbing on to them in the same manner they would against other males.
Props to him, though.
