>Parsing both those layers — the behavior and the meta-behavior, the story told and the story of why it’s being told that way This is a fairly major way of partitioning literary analysis. I've seen it called "Watsonian" vs "Doyleist" - you can either take a look at the narrative elements in the story, or at the circumstances facing the author.

Not wrestling specifically, but you certainly wouldn't be the first to feel a sort of alienation from... I don't know: call it physicality. There's a general sort of malaise you can see present in the US at least, it's why (or possibly because of) we see so much shit marketed to us via faux authenticity. Maybe it's just a perspective thing but I really think theirs a growing number of people developing a kind of knee…
> Not wrestling specifically, but you certainly wouldn't be the first to feel a sort of alienation from... I don't know: call it physicality We've been moving past this "physicality" for at least the last 3,000 years, it's what makes us, well, rational and modern humans. Case in point, the mighty Achilles and Hector both die, while the non-physical Ulysses finally manages to return home to his beloved Penelope. Also…
Does anyone else yearn for life with what man has long called "wrestling"? Our ancestors used to cultivate their might, overcome deep physical challenge, and express useful skills in sanctified circles. Wrestling used to mean something profoundly real to human-kind, as it still does for many cultures who haven't taken a plunge into a commercial modernity. I remember when I was young reading of loud gasps when `Okonkw…

Why not ? It's arguably the most basic of human athletic endeavors (besides walking and running), it's extremely beneficial to your health (nothing exercises every single little muscle in your body - but wrestling does) and depending on where you set your output dial, it's as high output of a sport as is possible.
Further, the popularity of BJJ opens up a lot of venues and increased interest - male and female - all over the country.
Recommended.

No because I'd like people who can't cultivate physical might to still be able to succeed.

No mention of Idiocracy ?! This movie predicted our fate: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/ Edit: I read the IMDb blurb – ”… five centuries in the future …”. I guess we’re 500 years ahead of schedule.

Try strength training. I.e lifting weights not for aesthetic reasons but to get stronger and lift heavier weights. I stayed it and loved it. It really is like levelling up your life and having a secret super power.
