i'm confused...wouldn't it be hard to pin him or get off any good moves on him?? and on the flip, how could he pin you he weighs 103 lbs. you could pick him up and throw him...

Well, he does have a lower center of gravity than just about everyone he'd compete against.. And I'm sure he's in a weight class with similarly weighted opponents..

What happens if he gets piledriven? The classic methodology in catch-as-catch-can wrestling is that control of 2 of the 5 major points of extremity (arms, legs, head) usually puts you in control of your opponent. However, you might have to get in a hairpull or use of the tights in order to achieve a similar result. All in all, it's pretty amazing that he competes at the level he does. It's a real victory for our not-really-handicapped brothers and sisters (including the armless). :17:
