Brian Dunning

Brian Dunning is one of the finest technique instructors around. His ability to connect one on one and get the most out of that individual is unsurpassed. Brian was a state champ at Hillwood High in 1972 and four time placer. Brian wrestled for legendary coach Gray Simons at UT. He was an Olympic Trials regional champ and one of the few tough enough to marry into the Simpson family. Pat, Frank and Jim were pooled into the same group as Brian in a Tennessee Pride tournament-Brian said he didn't take an L. Brian was also an official and has the rare distinction of having two sons each win the Dave Schultz Award.
