Oklahoma State is actually a more successful team, historically, but no team has been more dominant under a single coach than Iowa was under Dan Gable.

Unfortunately this thread will largely go ignored. The typical BJJ guy could use some inspiration for attitude and work ethic from this series.

 

[Gambledub]

[Uchi Mata]

This is a great doc. Gable is such a badass.

It is an hour and 20 minute or so documentary on wrestling. If you aren't interested in wrestling, I wouldn't imagine that you would watch it. You'd rather watch an hour documentary on BJJ if you are a "BJJ guy", ya know? I agree they could learn a lot about attitude. I learned a lot about attitude from it.

I've watched documentaries on Judo and BJJ. Hell I've watched documentaries on wire walking and all sorts of random things.
