The Three C's _ Competence, Confidence, Commitment

 Grappling mode refers to the nexus at which knowledge, motivation, and ambition meet; the combination of the three act to produce a synergistic effect of herculean proportion.

Much of what I learned in the rings was transferable to other environments;  such as the Classroom, Home, Work, and even the Community.

On the wrestling mat there are two circles; an inner circle, approximately 6 feet in diameter; an outer circle, approximately 27 feet in diameter. Two men enter: one man leaves in victory, the other in defeat.

Recognition of the fact that knowledge, motivation, and ambition is a prerequisite to victory is the underlying message behind  "the ring is no place to go looking for a lesson".
