    RPW: Abas joins San Jose Qualifier for Fan-fest

    In 2004, watching Stephen Abas wrestle was an absolute experience. He attacked opponents with cobra like quickness darting left and right before unleashing an indescribable high-c unlike any shot that other wrestlers had in their arsenal. Even just getting to watch the youthful Abas warm-up was compelling. The athletic and nimble California native often captured spectators' eyes with his mixture of dance and Brazilian street fighting techniques that tumbled him across the crowded pre-tournament mats.

    Following a rise to the tops of international competition with a silver medal finish in the 55 kgs weight class at the Athens Olympics, Abas was sidelined with injury, the most serious of which was a torn ACL. Abas , earlier that year, had already knocked off the 60 kgs Olympic Champion from Cuba in front of a wild crowd of friendly Cuban fans in the winter of 2005. Instead of getting to build on that feeling of greatness Abas was forced to take the lonely road back as he battled to regain form through hours of rehab.

    Stephen Abas is not done competing and many wrestling fans anxiously a wait seeing his successful return to competition. Before the 3X NCAA Champion battles again in a match Real Pro Wrestling will welcome him to the San Jose Qualifier on October 28th as a featured clinician for its fan-fest.

    Coaches and wrestlers of northern California are encouraged to be a part of this great day of competition for an incredibly low price that includes countless exciting matches under the RPW rules and a two hour clinic with a truly great Olympian.

    Price for entry for the day is $5 per individual, $20 per family, and $30 per team. Matt Case, President of Real Pro Wrestling, was excited to announce this affordable day of wrestling "we think this is a great opportunity for local clubs and high school teams to attend a wrestling clinic for a really great price. We are looking for a great turnout in San Jose to kick start Season 2 of RPW."
