Can I get your opinion. My 8YO wants to freestyle this year. He is addicted to the sport, but has issues with the change from Novice to Open. Trust me it is all mental. When he thinks an opponent is weaker, the match is never close. If he knows a kid is good, he shuts down. I know from personal experience, this is wrestling. Do you think there are enough 8 year olds in the Johnson County area at tourneys that will give him good match experience, or is he going to face the kids with 4 years under their belts? What clubs are availble in this area?
