Better With Age by brooksie brooksie@pacificcoast.net An older women develops a passion for wrestling I have to admit, I love showing off my body. My name is Nancy Bishop. I'm 46-years-old and in the best shape of my life. I've always been good at sports. In school, I was a top athlete in track, gymnastics and swimming. But that was before it was cool for girls to have muscles and I was always seen as somewhat unfeminine, and therefore, undesirable due to my muscular build. When I competed, it wasn't always pretty. I grunted, and sweated. My hair was a mess. In the early fifties, this was not the image women cultivated if they wanted to be popular. Not too long after graduation though, I did get married. After that, I left most of my athletic activities behind. Although I kept in shape, I lived a fairly normal, suburban married life. I swam, played some tennis and golf, took long walks, but that was about it. I had a happy and comfortable existence with a man who loved me, vice-versa. My husband Jack was an engineer, and a bit of a tinkerer. In addition to making a good salary, he patented a couple of inventions that proved to be quite useful and wound up making us a small fortune. Unfortunately, my wonderful husband was killed in a plane crash five years ago. I went into a deep depression for nearly a year and gained a lot of weight. For the first time in my life, I was fat and out of shape. That's what snapped me out of it. I began to focus myself entirely on getting back into the kind of condition I had been in as a teenager, or even better. I was inspired by Olympic athletes like Florence Griffith-Joyner and some of the professional female bodybuilders I'd seen on TV. I came across the show "American Gladiators" by accident one night and was fascinated with the way the women on the program looked: sinewy, strong with big, flexing muscles. Since I was of "independent means" as they say, I was able to devote myself entirely to my pursuit of physical excellence. Now, four years later, I have a body that turns heads everywhere I go. At 5'8", I carry 150-155 lbs of solid muscle. My broad shoulders are deeply cut, with rounded caps of deltoid muscle. My trapesius and upper back are thick and V-shaped. I have 15-inch biceps that are nicely peaked. My waist is a fat-free 26 nches and my abs are a study in hard-etched muscular development. I'm fortunate in that I've always had strong and powerful legs. My calves are 17 inches of bulging muscle and I do very few exercises for them. I spend much more time on chest exercises. I don't have huge pecs, but my chest developent is strong enough to keep my 34C-size breasts from sagging. To me, one of the sexiest attributes a woman can have are well-supported breasts. Even at my age, I can go without a bra if I want to. I feel youthful, energetic, strong and full of vitality. Still, the signs of advancing years can be seen. I don't dye my hair, even though I have some grey and I'm not the type to go for a face-lift, although I could easily afford it. I'm not trying to pretend I'm not 46, I just want to be in the best shape I can and stay young at heart. One thing that contributes to that feelng is the reaction I get when I go to a beach or hotel pool. I wear sexy bikinis with pride and get a kick out of seeing women half my age flush with anger and jealousy when they catch their husbands or boyfriends continually sneaking glances at me. I'm sure I've caused more than a few arguments back at the car or the hotel room. A typical day for me is running in the morning and weight-training in the afternoon. In the evenings I'll take a swim or engage in my latest passion - wrestling! I started to get interested in it while surfing the net one day. I was following the links of one of my favourite female bodybuilders when I discovered the burgeoning world of submission-style wrestling. There were pictures of her from several videos she'd made for different companies showing her wrestling against both males an females. I had never seen anything that turned me on so much in my life. I followed some of the links from that page and typed in words such as "women wrestling", "mixed wrestling" and so on into my computer's search engines. Within a week, spending a couple of hours a night, I amassed a large data base on the subject, bookmarking sites containing photos and stories of females wrestling. I loved the idea of using my muscles in a contest of skill and physical strength against another person, overpowering them and forcing them to admit they are at my mercy. For some reason, I found it extremely arousing. What began as an unexpected curiosity was turning into a full-blown obsession. I discovered there was a women's wrestling club in a large city, about a two-hour drive from where I live. I contacted the club through it's website expressing my interest in getting involved, and was pleasantly surprised to receive friendly reply. I was invited to provide my phone number so someone could call me back with more information. I did so, and received a call several days later from a woman named Cathy who was the club's founder and organizer. Although she was quite a bit younger than me, our stories were fairly similar. The difference was that she was a wealthy divorcee, and had been wrestling since she was a teenager, throughout high-school and college. After school, she missed it, but went to work, got married, had children and forgot about it. Like me, she had discovered there were women participating in amateur wrestling by accident while surfing the net. She told me about how she had received information from other women who were involved in private amateur wrestling clubs and had eventually managed to connect a small group of interested females from around her own area. Word began to spread and before long she had a thriving little organzation. Cathy had contacted one of her old college wrestling coaches and had arranged for a instructional sessions in basic wrestling techniques. She had also found some martial arts studios where grappling techniques were taught and many of the women were taking those classes as well. Some of the club members were involved in judo and jujuitsu and were able to use techniques from those disciplines in their wrestling matches. Most of the women were also using the internet to do their own research into various wrestling holds. Besides the training and practice sessions, the club had "match nights" twice a month. Cathy had worked out a ranking system and the women vied for position in order to get a shot at wrestling for the club championship. Cathy herself had held it for several months in the beginning but now, she said, it was pretty evenly balanced and the title changed hands regularly, as the women improved their strength and skills. In addition, some of the women expressed an interest in wrestling against men. Since there were many men on-line who wanted to wrestle with women and were eager to find females who could give them a competitive match or even defeat them, getting opponents was not difficult. Although Cathy went through an extensive screening process with them, she was able to find several who were genuine and trustworthy, and a couple of mixed matches were featured at every competition. She said it's an amazing bonding experience, and tremendously empowering, for 15 or 20 women to watch one of their sister club members defeat a man in a fair competition and force him to submit to her. Cathy and I got along wery well on the phone, and when she invited me to come to one of the match nights and observe, I leapt at the opportunity. It was great! I joined the club right away, and have been making the four-hour round trip at least twice a month for the past two-and-a-half years. At first, I went on the nights they had training sessions. After a while, I'd go for at least one match night a month and now I go mainly for the competitions. Through Cathy, I discovered that a college in the city where lived had a women's wrestling program and I was able to arrange for some instruction. From there, I discovered there was a class in overall, mixed discipline grappling and I registered for that. Eventually I met a few other women who were also interested in wrestling and we formed a small club. It's nowhere near the size and sophistication of Cathy's organization, which is fine with me, since I am still an active participant in her club. We are mostly interested in practicing on each other. The other women are all substantially younger than me, all very athletic and skilled. There are two, in particular, who I really admire. Tammy is a bodybuilder, a gorgeous 5'10, 170lb. muscle goddess. She is a good wrestler and very tough to beat. The other is a lean and, in street clothes, an almost delicate-looking Asian girl named Kim. In her workout attire, her body takes on a different character entirely. She is not a big person, but tight, sinewy and extremely flexible, almost contortionist-like. She is trained in several martial arts and moves so fast, it boggles the mind. I don't care to count the number of times I thought I was about to get her in a submission hold, only to find myself suddenly helpless in some inescapable jont lock while she patiently waited for me to submit. Despite my strength, large muscles and 40lb. weight advantage, it's very difficult to defeat her. As Tammy says, "you have to wrestle smart. One wrong move and she'll have you!" We have all gotten to be good friends - in my case, very good as far as Tammy and Kim are concerned. Because of my involvement in wrestling (at least I'm pretty sure that's the reason), I've developed an deeper appreciation for the female form, and a desire to experiment sexually. My first experience was with Tammy. We shared a enthralling night together, exploring each other's muscular bodies. It was truly a mutual admiration society as we took turns lavishing attention and compliments on each other. Since it was the first time for both of us, we discovered what worked and what we liked together. It was more tender than passionate that night. On later occasions we had more fiery encounters where both of us were driven to screaming fits of frenzy. Neither of us were interested in turning our backs on men, but, to quote Tammy again, "I ain't planning on giving this up either." I had several other encounters with women outside the wrestling group before I connected with Kim who, I discovered, was not new to this. Kim taught me many wonderful things, but strictly under her rules. Kim's thing was domination and she was definitely the one in charge. The first time we were together, we undressed each other down to our bras and panties. She then surprised me by taking me in a wristlock which she used to force me to my knees. She made me press my forehead to the floor and remain in that position while she used her feet on my ears, lips, neck and nipples in an incredibly erotic manner. Her toes were so dexterous they were almost like fingers and the things she could do with them were amazing. I was then made to worship her feet. She takes on a silent, almost aloof personna, that of the strict Asian mistress. She allowed me to ask no questions, to have no control over the agenda and enforces her dominance, if necessary, with any one of a number of painful locks that render me instantly compliant. Naturally, she introduced me to bondage techniques. I learned quickly to accept that ours was to be a master/slave relationship and it was I who would obey her. I soon discovered she was so talented in the erotic art of mixing pain with pleasure, that I willingly surrendered to her control. She was the teacher and I the student. It was definitely a new world for me and an opposite situation than the one I normally find myself in during my sexual encounters with other women where I am usually the dominant one. I don't use the word "lesbian" because I don't think I am one. I believe there is more to being a lesbian than just choice of sexual partner. It's a mindset, and one I don't really share. I make no attempt to exclude men from my life. I'm just into a new era of sexual exploration and have found there is a role for women to play in that. As I said, I have little doubt that the close physical contact of wrestling and the erotic potential of one person submitting to the other provided the spark that ignited this particular fire in me. It stirred up sensations that were clearly sexual. In fact, it was no big secret among the women who did this and most of them were quite open about it. Not all were inclined to sexual encounters with other women, but many talked about the change in their relationships with husbands or boyfriends. They described becoming wilder and more aggressive in the bedroom and most reported their partners were thrilled with the change. They suspected that was why they rarely had any arguments about the time they devoted to their particiation in the sport. Many of the women who were part of Cathy's club were young, strong and often quite beautiful. Having one of these extremely fit twenty-something's tied up and helpless on the mat, feeling their bodies flex and struggle, then relax as they gave up their attempt to get free and were forced to submit, was extremely stimulating, both physically and to the imagination. Sometimes a submission will come quickly, but more often it's a matter of getting your opponent into a hold, adjusting your position until you've got it locked in securely and then waiting until your victim begins to, depending on the hold, cramp up, run out of air or just can't take the pain any longer. My favourite combination to use is a chickenwing hammerlock with a half-nelson and a single leg grapevine or scissors. That allows me to keep my weight centred over my opponent's back and really lean into the hammerlock and half-nelson while keeping them from getting to their knees with the leg hold. I usually don't apply too much pressure at first. I like to put my head down close to my opponent's and whisper into their ear things like "Give it up baby", "I've got you at my mercy" and so on. The first few times I made someone say "I give", were almost like taking a drug. At first, I didn't know what was happening to me. I didn't take long to figure it out though, especially after talking about with some of the others. After my experience with Tammy, I realized I wanted to experience dominating a woman, first at wrestling and then in a sexual situation. It wouldn't work with Tammy because we were both too competitive, and too evenly matched. For a while, I would go out and deliberately try to pick up women. I tried a few gay bars but discovered that really wasn't my scene and I rarely found the kind of women I was interested in physically. The traditional types of pick-up bars, the "meet-markets" were loud, vulgar and unappealing places to me. I found the best places are the lounges attached to gyms or raquet courts, frequentd by an athletic, healthy, sports-minded clientele. I would usually wear a sleeveless, short-skirted dress that showed off my muscular development. Since I am by nature a friendly, relaxed person who converses easily with strangers, it was not difficult to meet people. If I saw an attractive, athletic-looking woman and was able to strike up a conversation with her, she would invariably comment on my physique. From there, it was a simple matter to steer the conversation towards workouts, sports etc. where I would mention my involvement in wrestling and what a great overall workout it was. That was usually a good hook for most women. If there was any sort of curiosity on her part, I would talk about how much of it was going on, based on the number of internet sites devoted to it and talk about the two clubs I belonged to, training methods, competitions and so on. If she was still engaged in the conversation, I would carefully explore her possible interest in trying it out. I never really knew which way it might go. Sometimes I could sense a willingness to have a one-on-one experience other times it was clear that the woman was interested in the wrestling club, but nothing beyond that. On rare occasions, I was able to meet tough girls who wanted to show me up. They were the most fun. I loved to wrestle them until their spirit was clearly broken and they no longer put up much resistance. Then I would take them past the point of submission, easing up slightly hold I had them in and forcing to beg for my mercy, to acknowledge my superiority, worship my muscles and so on, reminding them that I could make this hold hurt a lot more if they didn't comply. Sometimes that would lead directly into sexual activity, with a greater or lesser amount of convincing required, depending on the woman's resistence to it. Other times they would break down in tears because of their helplessness and frustration. Then I would comfort them and hold them in my arms. Often they would experience overwhelming feelings of safety and comfort and I would gently guide them into erotic areas. The interesting thing about meeting women this was that it was always an adventure, something that needed to be improvised. There was no way to tell how it was going to go or how it would turn out. I don't have as great a need to go out and meet women that way anymore. I have a number of "sexual friends" now who I enjoy being with regularly. I have also wrestled with men who I have defeated and forced to submit to me. Some of those experiences have been good but, generally-speaking, I find they are not as nuanced as those I've had with women. Men tend to fall into two categories. Either they're unable to deal with a women who can render them helpless and make them submit to her will, and consequently, not much fun to be with, even after they've been broken physically, or they're naturally submissive and not willing to risk the possibility of victory. These are the kind whose heads, no matter what you do, somehow wind up between your legs or, when you're on top of them and pull one arm above their heads, the other one magically follows. I find the wrestling part is far interesting and competitive with women. Anyway, I have the occasional mixed match at the wrestling club, which are usually quite competitive and that seems, for the most part, to satisfy my desire to wrestle against men. Still, I never rule anything out. Where's the fun in that? Every once in a while, even without necessarily looking for it, I meet someone who I would love to wrestle with, and maybe more. That's the way I felt about the girl I saw on the beach. It was a beautiful sunny day so I hurried through my workout and rushed down to a normally quiet, fairly un-used area of beach not far from where I lived, for a relaxing afternoon soaking up the rays. I was lying face-down on my towel and had been there for about a half-hour, when a couple of teenagers, a guy and a girl, showed up and spread out a blanket. I lifted my head slightly and watched them. They appeared to be about 17 or 18 years old. He looked like a punk - skinny, bleached hair, lots of tattoos and piercings, but his girlfriend was gorgeous. She was tall and willowy, nice calves but otherwise, not much muscle. She had great bone structure however, wide shoulders and narrow hips. A lot of potential, I thought to myself, before putting my head back down on the towel. My restful afternoon wasn't to last much longer, though. After the blanket, came the boom box and then the beer. I did my best to ignore the loud, aggressive music for about 15 or 20 minutes before deciding to move on further on down the beach. I was just about to pick up my stuff when I saw the boy take a final slug from his bottle and then, to my disgust, hurl the bottle at a nearby rock, shattering it. Without even thinking about it, I yelled "What the hell do you think you're doing?" He had his back towards me, reaching in the cooler for another beer. He turned around and yelled back "What's your problem, lady?" I strode over and gestered at the broken shards of glass. "My problem is I use this beach a lot and I don't appreciate having to step around broken glass." "So what?" "So how about picking it up?" "Yeah, right. Fuck you." He was standing in front of me with an insolent sneer on his face. I glanced down at the girl whose eyes were wide with amazement as she looked me up and down. I was pretty sure I could detect a look of appreciation in her eyes. Her boyfriend was another story. He continued to stare at me with an expression of defiance. "Go on, get your freak ass out of here." "Who are you calling a freak?" I challenged. "You, lady. If you even are female, that is." That was about all I was going to take from this punk. "I'll give you one more chance to start picking up that glass." "Or what?" "Or I'll make you do it. Your choice." "Dream on, freakoid." This kid was really starting to piss me off. "Fine by me" I replied, "Whatever way you want it." I quickly took him by the elbow and applied a wristlock which I immediately turned into a chicken wing. With my right arm, I reached around his neck, using my forearm to force his head back, digging my fingers into his left shoulder. Then I snaked my left hand up under his armpit and clasped it around my right wrist. I knew, from having this same lock applied to me by Kim, how painful it was. It put tremendous pressure on his left shoulder. If I had him down on the ground, I could have easily dislocated it. Instead, I just gave it a good, hard wrench and hip-tossed him to the ground. I still had hold of his arm which I put into an armbar. I was controlling him easily. He had no idea of how to counter the hold and was starting to panic. I could have broken his arm but I held back, not wanting to cause any permanent damage. Besides, I planned on making this last. I was going to enjoy putting this punk through my full repertoire. By the time I get through with him, he'll be begging me to let him pick up that broken glass. I released his arm and went to work on the other one. Taking their arms out early is a great strategy to use on guys. They're generally not that good with their legs and rely heavily on their arms to control things. It's quite demoralizing to take their arms out early. After weakening both arms, I moved onto a full nelson. I kept him down, his arms locked tight and slammed his face into the sand several times. Then I twined my legs around his in a reverse grapevine and worked tightened up on the nelson until his elbows were practically touching one another. He started to moan in pain at this point, so I let up a bit. "Having fun so far, tough guy?" I taunted. "Let me go you bitch." "That's not a very wise move. Calling me names only gets you more pain." I clamped the hold on as hard as I could and drove his face into the sand a few more times. I decided to really unleash some hurt on this moron. Switching to a half-nelson, I grabbed one of his thighs and flipped him over on his back and dropped my full weight onto his stomach. I felt the air rush out of him as he let out a big "ooof". I lashed my legs around his in a grapevine. I trapped his arms by cradling my arms around his head. I pulled him in tight to my chest and and stretched his legs out wide. I could feel him groaning by his voice was muffled and barely audible. He was helpless as I continued stretching his legs, causing his knees to bend in a way they weren't meant to. "How do you like this, jerk-face? It's called a grapevine. Hurts, doesn't it? What's that, I can't understand you? Anyway, I'm pretty sure you want to give up but I'm afraid that surrender is not an option at this point. I've got lots more pain in store for you. Wait to you feel my scissors." I gave his legs one more hard squeeze then pulled up on his head so he was in a sitting position. I got my legs around his waist and put him in another armbar. I used this to control him while I adjusted my legs so they were wrapped around his ribcage. Then I laid back and turned on the power. He began screaming as his ribs started bending. I switched to a series of rapidfire snaps. "You like this? Want more? Here's some more, fuckhead." After torturing his ribs a while longer, I unlashed my legs and slid them up until I had them around his head. I squeezed with all my might and was rewarded by hearing him start begging. "Please, stop. I'll do what you say, I'll pick it up. Please, no more." "You're damn right you'll pick it up...when I decide to let you, little boy. Now shut your mouth and take your punishment." I switched to a figure-four. Now my rock-hard calf was pressed right against his throat, cutting off his breathing. I tortured him for a while longer until he began convulsing from lack of air. I let him go and stood over him, poking him in the ribs with my toe. "So, you had enough, you little punk or should I show you some more holds?" He didn't answer. "I asked you a question, answer me! You want some more?" "No more, please. I've had enough," he sniffled. "I don't think so. Not yet. Let's try this one." I snatched his legs and tucked them under my arms and turned him over into a Boston Crab. I bent them up high and sat down. I leaned back and really let him have it. He screamed in agony. Suddenly his girlfriend came running over. "Please, you're hurting him. He gave up. He'll pick up the glass. Please, let him go," she pleaded. I'd been having so much fun I'd almost forgotten about her. I jumped to my feet and pulled him up by his hair. Then I hooked his arm over my neck, stuck a hand between his legs, squatted down and lifted him onto my shoulders in a backbreaker. "Is that true? You had enough?" "Yes, yes, I'll do it. Whatever you say, just let me go." "Aright, beg me to let you pick up the glass." "Let me pick up the glass. Please." "Beg!" I yanked down hard on his neck and leg, bending his spine wickedly. "Owwww, stop, please, I'm begging you. I beg for mercy." I carried him over to the blanket, bouncing him on my shoulders a few times before sumping him onto it. "Alright, get to work and make sure you get it all." He slowly crawled over and started picking the pieces of shattered glass. I could see that even the smallest movements were causing him great pain. I watched him for a second and turned around to see his girlfriend staring at me. I raised my arms and flexed them, studying her face carefully for her reaction. She looked awestruck. "Like what you see?" I asked. "I've never seen a woman with muscles like that before. You're amazing. And you beat him up so easily. I was afraid you were going to kill him." I sat down beside her on the blanket. "No, I was in control the whole time. I have a lot of experience and know how far I can go without injuring someone. He is going to be sore for a few days though, I can tell you that. What's your name?" "Lindsey." "Hi. I'm Nancy. I hope you're not too upset about what I did to your boyfriend. He was really asking for it." "I know. He acts like a real jerk sometimes." Ignoring the temptation to question why she was with him then, I asked, "So do you work out Lindsey?" "Yeah, I do but I don't think I could ever get muscles like yours." "I don't know. You've got some pretty good bone structure. Great shoulders. You could really pack on a lot of muscle on those. Do you know much about training?" "Not really." "I could show you some stuff if you're interested." "Really?" "Sure." I paused a bit, thinking about what to say next. I wondered what she thought about the wrestling exhibition. "Have you ever done any wrestling Lindsey?" "Come on, I wouldn't have a hope against you." "Maybe not, but I know some women who are pretty new at it too. Have you ever wrestled with another woman?" "Actually, yes. I have a girlfriend who I go to the gym with. We kind of fool around sometimes, but I'm don't think I've very good." "What do you mean?" "She always beats me. She gets me down every time and sits on me until I say I give. And she's smaller than me too." "Well, I think I could help you out there. How would you like me to show you some moves. You'd like to turn the tables on her, wouldn't you." She giggled. "Yeah, I'd love to pay her back for all those times she's whipped my ass." "Great. Let's do it." She looked surprised. "You mean now?" "Sure, why not? I've got nothing to do for the rest of the afternoon. I've got a private gym and a pool at my place. Come on over and we can have dinner together. Unless you'd rather stay here with what's his name over there." She looked over at her boyfriend who was still on his hands and knees, picking up glass. "He'll be mad, that's for sure." "I wouldn't worry about it. What's he going to do? You'll be leaving with me, after all." "I guess you're right," she giggled again, "What's he going to do?" "You know, you could do a lot better." "You think so?" "Are you kidding? Look at you, you're gorgeous." Lindsey blushed. I put my arm around her and lifted her to her feet. "Come on with me. By the time I'm through with you, you'll be able to make him beg for mercy just like I did, if you still want anything to do with him, that is." We walked over to her boyfriend. "Make sure you get it all, every last piece. Lindsey and I are leaving now. I'm going to teach her how to wrestle." We started to walk away. "What? No way. Lindsey, get back here." Lindsey didn't even bother answering him. She just put her arm around my waist and kept walking.
