Wrestling after knee surgeries

As I had expected it was good that I could get to Berlin, so that I thus could have my first wrestle for a year. I knew that the days I was going there would be in the middle of the holiday season so I knew that there would be less people available for wrestling. But this wouldn't matter much, as after the recent year's inactivity I would be happy with a slow start.

However, I had not expected that catchbear1 also would be away on vacation as this was a guy I had always been happy to meet and wrestle as we had quite similar stats and I always had enjoyed wrestling his heavyweight body and be wrestled by him. Then it was good that another heavy guy, Berlinfunfighter, could show up instead and make sure that I would shed some sweat, which was nice after the many months without wrestling. I did manage to win over him, but when doing so I have to apologize to him, as I was doing some moves on him which are illegal in wrestling.

On my last day in Berlin another wrestler showed up, a guy I had never met or even heard of before. Hevelli was his profile name and he was both smaller and lighter than me, but also younger than me and thus would be expected to be more agile than me. He had had a shoulder surgery just a few months ealier so with my knee surgeries we would have quite similar stats. So that we could make our own 'paralympic games'.

Still I wanted to be easy on him as I was heavier than him and didn't want to send him back to the hospital, so I was in a defensive attitude, leaving it to him to decide how intense we could fight. But as the minutes went by it showed that I did not have to be particular easy on him as he had a quite good power in his body - so I had to put up more defenses than I had expected to keep him under control.

Thus it was a good time I had wrestling Hevelli, but after a while and several rounds we were running out of power and decided to call it a day. But we were not all finished yet as I had not used my legs so much. So Hevelli offered that I could test my legscissors on his body. Which was good, as it is much better having a body between my legs to squeeze than the ball I had in my gym. So I could put him in the right position between my thighs and with locked ankles slowly increase the pressure until he tapped out. And I happily noticed that he always did so before I reached full power.

After our good and long wrestle we could relax with him sitting between my spread legs so I could gently give his shoulders a massage, hoping that they were still all right after our wrestle and we would meet again next time I was in Berlin. For I could only imagine wrestling him once our surgery wounds had completely healed. For then he surely would be a much harder opponent.

Good for you. I’m a little hesitant for a real rough match since my full knee replacement surgery.
