Hi. Sorry I wasn't able to respond to this sooner. Here's a lil bit about me:
I teach Ju Jitsu in the evenings and I'm an assistant varsity wrestling coach at the local high school. I've been in Ju Jitsu for about 15 years now and competing in and / or coaching wrestling for a little over 25 years. I started out wrestling in high school; I wasn't great but I wasn't bad. I went into the Marines and trained with anyone who would work with me just so I could stay on the mat. I was never able to train in anything for very long so I ended training in a lot of things for just a little... and picked up a rather motley assortment of uniforms and belt colors along the way. When the opportunity finally came that I could focus on one discipline I made a place for myself in Ju Jitsu. I'm still just a wrestler at heart though and I probably always will be.

Yes! No! I don't know!
Actually, it's a nickname I've had for awhile. When I wrestled in high school I wore a dark green and white uniform and that sort of thing stands out when you're the only school in the district using those colors. I never looked at what I did then (or now) as mean... I didn't cheat, I never gave anyone a cheap shot, etc. But I was rough. Anyway, after one of my matches a distraught mother was overheard saying, "I hate that green wrestler, he's so mean!" and the name stuck.
