as a teen it was so strong for soccer that I could keep my legs from hitting the table legs when eating dinner

I wrestled growing up and did some grappling. When watching MMA matches for years i could not sit still once they hit the ground. Was like I was working through the movements I wanted them to make. Would drive my wife crazy sitting beside me. It was all subconscious... usually just tensing my muscles and leaning a certain direction plus my hands would get clamy. My wife would have to point out to me what I was doing and i'd try to control myself lol

I was so drawn by the game that I couldn't keep my legs from doing what I'd do if I was on the pitch. Eco friendly VR if you will
