#Repost @renzogracieseattle with @instatoolsapp ・・・ #FeatureFriday: Today we'll take a look at the legend Dan Gable. Many of you may know him from the famous Gable Grip, which is a staple in grappling today. Dan is recognized as the greatest American wrestler of all time. His success started early, where he went a perfect 64-0 for Waterloo West High School. Upon graduating, he took his talents to Iowa State, where he went a staggering 118-1, losing his first bout to Larry Owings of the University of Washington. Gable later avenged his loss to Owings in the 1972 Olympic Trials. Aside from his impeccable record, what made Dan gable such an icon was his insane work ethic. He would train for 6-8 hours a day, only to cap off his night by knocking out pushups in his dorm just to avoid being bored. His uncanny work ethic led to a successful post collegiate career where he went on to become a 3x USA Freestyle National Champion and the 1972 Olympic Gold Medalist. To make his Olympic run even more storied; he competed in the entire Olympics without giving up a single point while simultaneously wrestling with a knee injury. He cruised passed 6 Soviet wrestlers and was so far ahead on points, he could have lost his last match against Soviet Union's Ruslan Ashuraliyev with a score of 7-0, and still won the gold medal. Gable became the Iowa State Wrestling coach from 1976-1997, where his teams combined a dual meet record of 355–21–5. He coached 152 all-Americans, 45 national champions, 106 Big Ten Champions and 12 Olympians, including eight medalists. Gable also coached three olympic teams and 6 world teams. Gable is now happily retired and spends most of his time with his wife, kids, and grandchildren. He will go down as one of the most influential wrestlers of all time. He paved the way for many grapplers and we are truly indebted to his greatness. • • • #dangable #usawrestling #olympicwrestling #wrestling #renzogracie #bjj #brazilianjiujitsu #submissiongrappling #renzogracieseattle #johndanaher #submission #submissionwrestling #fitness #workout #takedown #seattle #nogi #martialarts #bjjgirls #ufc #fitness #crossfit #martialarts #seahawks #sounders #mariners #mma #mixe https://www.instagram.com/p/BrHVuPlguXA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rxxyoxaogpuw

#Repost @renzogracieseattle with @instatoolsapp ・・・ Meet Fernando: Fernando has been training for about 3 years. After recovering from a recent injury, he was referred to Renzo Gracie Seattle by a friend who recommended a place where he could focus on repetition. Fernando operates a fast paced, non profit organization. When asked why he loves Jiu-jitsu, he said Jiu-jitsu gives him a sense of clarity for his mind and body. Being in a stressful career, he uses the intensity of Jiu-jitsu to enhance his business practice and performance. On his free time he loves to read and train. Thank you, Fernando! We are glad that you’re apart of our team! • • • #renzogracie #renzogracieseattle #teamrenzogracie #graciejiujitsu #brazilianjiujitsu #jiujitsu #bjj #jiu #jitsu #submission #grappling #wrestling #seattle #seattlewa #pnw #ballard #ballardwa #ballardseattle #seattlebjj #seattlejiujitsu #uw #universityofwashington #spu #seattlepacificuniversity #seattleuniversity https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_N_vig8ci/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hapw8rab3i2v
