Olympian Gardner still tough to take down

Rulon Gardner, the hulking former Olympic champion who once shocked the world by toppling a Russian Goliath, is working with two pupils: a 13-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl. It is the girl’s first class, and she is unsure of her motions.
He takes her hands and shows her how to chop her opponent’s arm, how move around them and how to bring them to the ground. A few men look on, shuffling as they wait for their class to start in the mixed martial arts room. Gardner does not notice them — he already has students he’s working with.
