Good gym, real progress — but cauliflower ear without headgear frustrated me

I've been training Wrestling for 5 months at a decent gym with good coaches. My hip toss has improved significantly and I've developed a real understanding of penetration step. live drilling intensity has been a consistent positive.

The one thing that has genuinely frustrated me: cauliflower ear without headgear. I've read that this is common in Wrestling but it's still annoying when you're experiencing it. I've worked around it mostly, but it's the reason this is four stars rather than five. The sport itself is excellent — the frustration is circumstantial.
