I don't even know how to really describe whats going on here, kind of just Askren talking about where his style originated from, and various parts of his mental and physical game thats helped make him so good.

Just really interesting to sort of take a peak inside this guy's head.

Technically, Askren is virtually flawless. Physcially, he is no where near the strength of top wrestlers and that is where is mat awareness and mental visioning (the funk as most call it) of his situation trumps those that are stronger. Meet him on the beach and you would never suspect he is one of the nation's top wrestlers.

When you look at how he used this positioning to near fall Gavin, you know the guy has a set of marbles that are far beyond those of the best on the mat that have come before him. he has mastered body mechanics applied to wrestling theory.
