I watched this video sunday. I thought this kid had above average skill for a pee-wee type wrestler. After sending it to a friend of mine to critique, he told me that:
"Someone snuck him into a judo class—koshi guruma to kesa-gatame is his favorite waza."

Obviously, the kid's a ringer. His technical skills are above his opponent's.
Regrettably, even pee-wee type wrestling has abandoned the essence of true sportsmanship. i realize that judo is a different form of wrestling, but it's obvious that winning at all costs-even through dishonest means is more important.
I think there ought to be a re-match. Have all of his opponents train in judo, then see what happens.
