"But then, equally of course, every man who takes up wrestling
seriously will only do so because he is fond of it, because he
prefers wrestling to most, if not all, other sports and pastimes.
Every wrestler who ever trod the mat is a potential champion. He
may not have been endowed with the wrestling instinct, but he will
be able to cultivate a high degree of wrestling science, even
quickness, if not absolute lightning rapidity of movement, which,
if combined with the necessary strength and stamina, may enable him
to compete with all but the greatest champions on equal terms.
Skill, that is to say, the science of wrestling, can only be
cultivated by practice, and the man who takes up wrestling
seriously must get as much practice as he can with the most skilful
wrestlers. The better his opponents are, the faster will be his
progress in knowledge of the art, as also in the power of its
application. He can learn a good deal also in another way, and that
is by closely watching serious bouts between skilled wrestlers, and
by carefully practising such moves as attract his notice." - George
Hackenschmidt This is an original version, restored and
