Ben Askren

November 25, 2008

After the Olympics Ben took some time and got away with a couple vacations. Since he has been back he been coaching wrestling and doing some jiu jitsu and a little bit of stand up. He plans on fighting in late January or early February. Wrestling is not easy to make a living, and grappling is so similar to wrestling that he picks it up pretty quickly. His plan is to take people down and submit them. It's not about sneaking up on people and being secretive, it's about showing them waht you have, telling them what you're going to do and then see if you can still do it. He has been training jiu jitsu seriously for about 2 months and is excited for how that is going.

He has created a whole new genre that is unique with his rolling and pinning style. Ben over the last two years of his college career was flawless. His first two years were not half bad either, each time going losing in the finals of the NCAA tournament. Ben Askren will mostly be remembered for the entertaining fashion he wrestled his matches. He always had fun and always put on a show for the fans. In 2008 he won the U.S. Nationals and Olympic trials and competed in the Bejing games. Since then he has continued on as an volunteer wrestling coach and has begun training mma at American Top Team in Columbia, MO. His first fight is likely to be in early 2009.
