Back when I was in college, my girlfriend at the time suggested I improve my overall fitness and strength. I already had an athletic build, 6 foot 2 inches tall, 150lbs but I lacked muscular definition. I'm not a gym guy nor did I want to be then. I'd always admired wrestlers bodies, toned but not OTT like a body builder. So I decided to join the colleges "Over 18s" wrestling team. The only wrestling I'd done before was backyard WWE stuff with one of my friends growing up. We used to fantasize about the lady wrestlers and try and recreate moves we'd seen on his trampoline. I spoke to the coach and he said there was a place available on the team and I could come to try outs the next afternoon.
The day went by and after classes I went along to the sports centre. I was very nervous. My girlfriend wanted to come watch and cheer me on, but I didn't want her there for the first time in case I got my ass kicked! I walked through the doors to see 4 big crash mats on the floor and the coach talking to the other 7 members of the team. All were guys in their final year like me. Unlike me their bodies were toned and shaved or waxed smooth. They were all wearing tight fitting lycra singlets, in the colleges blue and white colour scheme. The coach introduced me to the guys and showed me to the locker room.
"Here try this on for size", he threw me a singlet and left me alone to get changed. The singlet was very tight, especially around my crotch.
I walked back out into the large open sports hall, nervous as my bulge was prominent in the tight singlet. I headed for the bleachers and watched for a while. I wanted to try and get an idea of how competitive it was and what kind of moves I was going to have to learn. The other guy who didn't have a partner came and sat next to me. A blonde haired, Tanned, smooth bodied average height guy called Connor.
"Don't be nervous Jay, it's not like MMA" Said Connor laughing to himself, breaking the tension. I laughed too.
"I dunno Connor, you all look pretty tough and like you know what you're doing. I mean look at that guy". I pointed to a smaller weaker looking member of the team being bent in half in a camel clutch⁶ submission hold.
"Come on you're not going to learn just by watching, I'll show you a couple of simple moves". Before I could say no Connor grabbed my arm and dragged me from my seat and down to one of the large crash mats.
He started by stroking my biceps.
"Not bad, but you need to start working on your upper body strength dude" he said constructively. He walked round me looking me up and down. I could see him starring at my bulge and I felt myself blushing.
"Word of advise Jay, get a body wax. Getting hairs pulled out gets irritating after a while". Seeing as how everyone else was smooth I considered the idea, but thought I should ask my girlfriend Jennifer her opinion first. We started training with a couple of basic submission holds, some of which I vaguely remember watching on WWE. Boston crab, Camel clutch, Head and body scissors and leg locks. He was a great teacher, explained everything well and showed me what to do and not do. I did however notice that he was very feely... He stroked my biceps, my thighs and slapped my ass. But I just put it down to friendliness and carried on.
"Right enough training for now, lets see what you've got" Connor said winking at me. We began to circle eachother, our arms locked together for the first time and the grappling began. For a skinny guy Connor was very strong! He squeezed my biceps and managed to push my arms down. Before I knew it I was on the mat, face down on my hands and knees. He grabbed my ankles and with a quick sharp pull had me face down flat on the mat. Not letting go of my ankles, he quickly moved round on top of me and slid his hands down my legs to my knees. As he sat down he began to pull my legs up under his arms. Not a boston crab I thought to myself!
"Don't think I'm going to take it easy on you just because it's your first time bitch!" I felt so emasculated. Being the taller heavier guy and having my ass kicked.
"Just you wait Connor, I'll get you back for this!" Just as I said that he increased his pressure in the hold, my back arching more and my pelvis being raised off the floor.
