Otto...married to lynda one of leah's cousins was asking me which was better in the martial arts strength or technique.... so i told him a story told me when i was 17 by a very successful canadian olympic athlete who was part of the canadian wrestling team for 8 years... named igan byler... anyway the reason i remembered igan was that he gave me a pair of his wrestling shoes as us yukoners had no real gear.... he liked my wrestling and just gave them to me... and i have always remembered his act of kindness to a younger wrestler (me)... anyway i digress... igan who was canada's most technical wrestler.. when in the olympics he was way better than the russian so quickly manages to dive and get a great hold on his legs... then he said it was like grabbing onto a tree trunk.... the russian was a rock.... so which is better.... both strength and technique are needed... i think technique is better and so does igan... as i was telling the story to otto he said that his dentist was named igan byler.... so we went and met him and told a few old time stories..... small world....
