This kid is good...

[MasterPain]

Great technique, cool haircut, awful music.

I concur...he's got good techniques...imagine how great he'll be when he's an adult.

Did you notice at 0:52, his haircut is catching on with some very interesting variations.

I can't see the video because I'm at work, but I'm going to assume it's the mohawk-headed wrestling kid? He has great technique, and I saw some good Judo-style throws, but he has one heck of an attitude. I saw some other videos on YouTube and it kind of seems like his parents are grooming him to have that cocky tough-guy attitude already and he's only 8.

Unfortunately, the attitude is part of school wrestling. Then again, intimidation is part of the game, and confidence in hard earned ability is better than low self esteem due to lack of effort.

Since I only wrestled for about a month and a half in school (the coach always made me practice with guys two years older and 20+ pounds heavier than me, so I got hurt a lot and never got to learn anything) I missed out on that, beyond seeing the attitudes of the overwhelming majority of the male population of my school. Personally, I stick with the "emotionless" look for intimidation purposes--the strutting and showboating just seem stupid to me.

Emotionless works with educated adults, but Wandelei Silva is scarier to school children than Mirko Crocop. That being said, I must agree that bad attitudes are bad.

I enjoyed watching his technique. Very good stuff there, what I did watch. I didn't watch it all, but he looked very crisp and clean. He should have a heck of a future.

[Nevinyrral]

Yeah, this kid is good, we might hear about him in few years if he keeps getting better. But his attitude will make hie lots of enemies.

[Jay]

He has talent lets see in 10 years where he is at. The thing is though theres probably another 100 of him with talent when you get to that stage its about working hard.

The id is good no doubt about that. The thing is most kids his age are still out just having fun, they lack the intensity and drive that he is showing. That alone might be what is giving him the edge.
