... possibly imagine, short of
sticking a needle in ones own arm.
The ideas behind wrestling are more then the thick headed thoughts of-
"Throw em to the ground and put all your weight on em!"- but rather, use each

defense in a matter of millis ...

... of the Bible seem outdated. The passage portrays a time when women were property and were "trained" to be weak and fragile. This stopped only about thirty years ago.

who views the body and mind, or tangible and intangible, as two separate
intities existing together to form one being. The principl ...
