I had a nice match with French novice. He is strong and was good to roll with him. I look forward to our next match.

18th - 21st June 16.
There are definitely a few matches between me and mark that we have either forgot to write here or felt that this battle log is already detailed enough. However I couldn't let him leave us here in the U.K. without leveling the score count. We met early Saturday morning in London Stockwell Matroom where we rolled for a solid 2 hours straight. Being the opportunist I am I managed to get some early shots in and had the big guy taping to a couple easy triangle holds and reverse chokes but he broke through and smashed his way to victory with arm bars and some nasty head locks. A 7 - 5 victory for him at the end and it was very well deserved. Treated him to a gym and sauna session to wind down after an epic battle.

How ever I was not happy leaving it at such an easy win with only a handful of days left, so the Sunday turned into a revenge match. Our 2nd to last BJJ class together gave us a 6 minute window for me to close the gap and for him to reign supreme. So right off the bat the big guy was on it! Dominating me to the ground and forcing his strength through my guards he had me on the run! It was with great luck that I managed to catch him off guard and pulled him down to an arm bar, securing a win. With the clock ticking down and barely seconds left, his anger visibly charged he attacked too quickly opening him up to a triangle hold and I took the chance and leveled the score board! Sunday ended with a 7 - 7 draw.

Tuesday was it. The last match (at least for a while) we would have. Now this was a difficult moment. This was marks last BJJ class and everyone wanted a price of him tonight. I was lucky to secure the penultimate fight for him this evening, the final being our instructor that has taught us the last 18 months so fair play. Heading into this there was definitely something up. Me and mark have had emotional matches, very heated and very tough, but not like this. It was difficult knowing this would be the last and it feels almost unfair to document score at this point and I can say that I did finally break the beast because it was hard not to see the tears in both our eyes by the time the clock ran out. 3 days of hard fighting and I'm glad we called a draw. Mark met me 4 years ago and he was the first to teach me how to wrestle and has guided me ever since. This reccomendation is definitely more of a blog about our time together and he will be sorely missed. Not many guys can make me cry easpecially at the end of a week of wrestling. Don't be gone long cuz we can't leave this at a draw.

It had been a while since we last saw Bill so it just felt right to dominate pops Infront of him, and it was deeply satisfying. I think I remember mark getting few decent shots in but it was safe to say I'm getting the upper hand now 💪! Again always love spending some quality family time in trunks.

Ok so this had to be documented. It's been a few months into bjj training and tonight it felt like it was paying off! A blood lust swept across the both of us as we both fought for domination over each other, both evenly dominating each other, both tapping and winning one after another! I honestly thought we were gonna get pulled apart but this was the match that we had be working towards for a while!! Bloody loved every second of this gladiator fight! Grrrr

A dreadful year for work has ended up being one of my most fortunate turn of events. Now working closer to pops so looking forward to more matches but now we are taking the fighting seriously! Joined a bjj club together so now the real training and fights start! Bring it on!

When you get a message saying 'come to bills' there is literally only one reaction. F**k yes! its always something special having a family gathering in Hastings. Mark not wanting to be defeated by his boy in front of his old man kept putting up a hell of a fight! I'm sure Bill enjoyed every second of it because I know I did, even though I had to concede to the beast.

30 June 14. Now despite mark now taking bjj lessons to try and out match me I was still able to keep him down long enough to bring this match to a tie. Just because you know 2 new moves doesn't mean you can beat me with them

15 April 14. Got really lucky with this match, either I was super pumped to fight or mark was tired from work, either way I managed to beat the top dog! I think this is gonna be the start of the end for the old guy! Haha

11 mar 14. Getting spoilt with a jocks and singlet match this time, loser strips challenge, so was a bit in heaven. Our bouts are getting a bit too intense, if that's even possible. Learning a lot from the big man has made me become too stubborn to give in and now it felt like we were trying to break each other, in a good way. Next match will be my closet yet to victory, I can feel it!

28 Feb 14. Another chance get to bills but this time I was greeted by the presence of mark and zz9zza dripping with sweat in speedos, lucky me eh? So Stuart took me to the mats first to show mark how it's done, and to give him more of a break. Surprised the poor guy still had much steam left when he was tagged in by Stuart, but to his credit he managed to hold is own to end with a slippery, sweat cover roll on bills mats, loved it and wanted more when I left.

21 jan 14. Had to take a double look at mark, even though it had been only a few weeks, he looked different. Firmer, leaner and definitely meaner! I was impressed, and slightly intimidated, so we had an actual light match. Fun bit of sub and pro, where I lifted him onto my back! Had such a blast and loved it!

17 dec 13. This was to be our last match of the year, so I lured mark to a 'light' wrestle and then pushed him as far as his body could go! And Christ he just kept pushing back! I had to hand in the towel at a draw as I couldnt give anymore, the room was swimming in our sweat by the end as we lay there on the floor. Freaking awesome and amazing Xmas present, haha

18 Nov 13. So...match 33. I guess it was meant to be a light match, and it was for the most part. Not trying to keep score, but the second mark said it was 7-5 that was it! Couldn't let him get a lead like that on me, so the light wrestling went out of the window. Ended 10-7 but at least I got the satisfaction of catching him in some of my favourite choke holds and making him tap out in panic...priceless and loved every second x

2 Nov 13. My first proper group meet at barnet mat room, and I gotta say I loved it. Started off with a warm up match with Mark, which left a couple of guys surprised that I saw Mark as a ‘warm up’ haha. Having wrestled with the others guys for a while I went back to Mark to test his endurance, and this guy can handle it! Having had 3 straight matches he was still more than a match for another 2 with me, which left me in awe. Ended the meet off with another tag match. An amazing weekend which left me wanting more! Loved it

29 Oct 13. I was looking for a serious match and a serious match is what I got. The second we got on the mats I knew it wasn’t gonna be an easy roll around. The way Mark pushes me in each match is incredible and always guaranteed to be dripping with sweat after the 4th sub. He may have won this time, but I can tell that my victory is soon.

25 Oct 13. Mark invited me down to meet some of his friends that he has trained in the past, which was a blast. A great evening as always, especially meeting some very great people. Cant wait for the next meet up.

28 sep 13. I'd been looking forward to our first tag match all year and finally got the chance this weekend. Mark took the opportunity to teach me alittle pro before hand and simply loved it! Having this beast in my corner was definitely a comfort when it felt like I was out of my depths against rob and huge fan. I'm glad I have done this guy some justice when I hear I have been taught well, cuz this guy is the master. Can't wait for our next tag match

23 sep 13. Trying to lay off any intense activity for a couple weeks due to an old injury, I literally jumped at the chance when mark offered another match. After our last match at his mma club left me tired and battered, I was looking forward to another one on one meet and I was not disappointed. This was an incredible fight, once again neither giving to the other which led to an incredibly tense match that left us both drenched and exhausted, soo much so that I swear we fell asleep for 30 mins afterwards. Simply love meeting mark every time and was a great way to end a birthday, beaten, battered and exhausted. Oh and highly recommended if you couldn't tell by now

6 sep 13. Mark suggested the idea of our next match being at his mma club near where I was working at the time. I honestly wasn't expecting to be put through my paces like that but I was truly punished by these guys. Thoroughly enjoyed having to fight for almost 40 mins straight and some more training, but I swear my body freaking hated me the next day. Still, another great experience and can't wait for the next

10 july 13. I Never really imagined after stumbling on to this website that an entire year later so much in life would have changed. Meeting mark encouraged me to meet others on the site, take up bjj training, get in shape properly and to become open to soo much more in life. I've met a true friend on here, and many others just like him too, and wouldn't trade my experience in the last year for anything.

29 july 13. Now this was a match I've been looking forward to for nearly a year, and it just didnt disappoint. Got the opportunity to head down to bills for the evening with mark for a bit of submission and pro. Gramps put me through a challenging warm up before dad showed up to finally give me a proper submissions match hed been promising the last 8 months, and it was a hell of a match, just check out the pics. Would love to make a day out of it next time for another family reunion

23 July 13. Thought id check up on the beast and was surprised to be offered another match. Considering it was the hottest day of the month, i was glad to get out of my work clothes and have an underwear wrestle match. Was a hell of a long, hot, sweaty match where i finally lost to his impressive rear naked choke hold, which completely took me by surprise! Loved it and cant wait for the next match, which better not be last minute again lol

10 July 13. Was really excited for this match. Got treated to grapple 101 where we finally got the chance to wrestle on mats and even had a crowd to watch. He's a tough old fighter but even more so when there's a crowd watching and he's pumped from the gym, really hope we get another chance to do it again. I found it hard to sleep that night lol

24 June 13. Well now this was a match! I heard it was the old guys birthday, and having been nearly 3 weeks since we last met, I arranged a special night to celebrate. Best way to describe the fight is explosive! It wasn't the longest match we've had but it was the most exhausting, intense and brutal match ive ever experienced. Safe and sane as always, even though I passed out slightly in his hold, lol my bad. Treating the beast to sushi and red bull afterwards was a satisfying treat which I'm glad he enjoyed, hopefully it was a good birthday for him, it was for me.

5 June 13. Surprised to have an actual prearranged match, which was arranged the night before lol. Didn't think we could top the last match but I was wrong. Again just stripping to boxers we scrap for what turned out to be 3 hours straight. I had the big guy locked down on his back the majority of the match having been practicing my favourite lock. Even after drying off, the heat in that room had me sweating for an hour after the match. Loved it and can't wait for the next. I promise more wrestling next time xxx

22 may 13. Well when dad gives me a call and asks if I'm free for a match you can guarantee I'm gonna be free. Lacking time to grab my trunks, I was more than happy to strip to my boxers for him. Surprised to see that we were at it for 3 hours straight! But I think we could have easily gone another 4 given the time. Ill leave the rest to your imagination, but just loved another great evening with the beast in his sexy boxers

15 may 13. Only having 2 days to prepare for another match with Mark, i cant help but feel like i wasn't prepared enough. Our matches are challenging but now they have hit a new level of intense. ive never been soo engrossed by a match that ive lost all expression except a blood lust, but the fear on his face made it worth while. Will always be proud of my opening sub on the big man, but was incredible to just lay there after, exhausted and sweaty from another intense match. love ya dad and cant wait for next time xxxx

30 apr 13. What can I say about this one. After 3 more weeks of intense training, both on the mats and in the gym, I was PUMPED to take on the beast. If we were lesser opponents this match would have easily hit 20 - 30 subs within the first 20 mins, but we just weren't going to give into each other that easily. Having to relinquish at 6 - 10 due to intense physical exhaustion (and the floor becoming too wet with sweat) this was the closest, intense, aggressive and heated match we've had to date! The belt is slowly slipping off the beasts sweaty hips and into my bruised and battered hands....watch out cuz the next match will have a new champ xx

10 apr 13. Match 13 but this time was different. The beast wanted to do a little pro and I was dying to learn some. So jumping at the opportunity I arranged a night to remember. My days sweating in the gym certainly paid off, and the look on his face as i opened the door was definitely worth the time and effort. Getting on with the lesson, he threw me in an over the knee back breaker and torture racks while I tried to catch him in a couple boston's. loved it and can't wait to get into more pro, especially the gear. Great night and can't wait for the ring!

27 mar 13. I'm not one to pass up the opportunity to meet with this hot beast again, so a cancelled match is their loss and my gain! A new fitness regime and a bulk of new moves to throw at this god, and stayed strong on top for a while, but this guy is just something else. I have an untapped well of determination to take him down, whether it be on mats, mattress, mud or oil I'm gonna topple this champ!!

17 mar 13. after an intense week of matches i found i couldn't say no to ending the week the way it started. a great gym session followed by a hot intense roll around and then waking up to another intense match. i truly was spoilt this week and was quite a memorable moment for me. love this guy!

11 mar 13. The weather doing its best to stop me from getting to this match, I wasn't giving up the evening so easily. The first sub had us both drenched. Each sub getting longer and longer, rolling from hold to bar to locks until one gave in. Both too stubborn to cave, the match took an adrenalin fueled twist where we got more daring and soo much more intense. Beast coming out on top with a 5-10 victory but was one on the most intense and unforgettable matches to date. I guess it was an alright match I the end x

21 feb 13. This match had me crazy pumped rightfully so. Rolling back and forth, trading off subs from the start. neither backing down and admitting defeat to the other. Proud of my early lead once again, but it drove the beast wild and pulled it back for the win. Truly unbelievable the amount of sweat pouring off each other. Really was a match to remember, wish we filmed it.....maybe next time x

23 jan 13. Coming soo close to beating him a few weeks back i was totally up for a rematch this quickly. His determination didn't disappoint and he was prepared for me this time, even though i got a great lead on him he came back strong and evened the score, and through gritted teeth ultimately won.loved every second and cant wait to beat him next time, and he knows its coming!

8 jan 13. This match was definitely one to remember. after getting my arse handed to me last time i was more than determined to prove myself to the beast, and the look on his face with each sub was well worth the time and effort at the gym. not long till i tame the beast!!

11 dec 12. after spending a couple of weeks taunting this puppy into another match, i should have know better than to prod the beast with a stick. after about an hour it felt like i had been steamrolled, i managed to get in one good sub but he just wouldnt let up untill he had me down for 10. i've learnt my lesson and off to the gym for the next month till im bigger than this beast. but he better watch out cuz ill be standing above him victorious soon enough!

21 nov 12. Cant say no when it comes to another match with mark, definitely something about the old guy that keeps me going back for more punishment. i say it was a small victory as i managed to get him with the same sub each time, but admittedly he did win overall, again! love every match ive had with mark and they just keep getting better and better, and i am slowly getting closer to beating him. i would recommend him but i want him all to myself, at least until i win a match against this beast.

7 nov 12. Another month and another match with mark and i have to admit i cant get enough. id like to say it was an even win but i guess he could have sub me a couple more times than i got him. still made him sweat even if he did have me panting like a dog, plus he looks fucking incredible not matter what he wears which is always a plus. oh and i guess it ended well, will have to make the next match even better next month.

5 oct 12. a third match with the old guy and still not good enough to beat him. mark is no jobber, despite what he says, but he sure knows how to make me one. i did get a couple of good subs on him, even if he was distracted. another mind blowing match again and will always drop everything last minute to see his white ass any day of the week.

5 sep 12. Jumped at the chance to meet mark again. Him being quite a big strong guy really pushed me for a challenge. Got a couple of wins but ultimately couldn't beat him, he's too dam good. Once again loved his company, Its always great to have a laugh and chat with a like minded guy. definitely one of my favourites to meet and would drop everything to meet him again, which I hope will be soon as I have got to beat the old man.

3 aug 12. Mark was an incredible first match. He was a great guy to meet and to learn from and made the entire experience fun. He has such a great personality and sense of humour, I don't think I could recommend him enough to anyone. Can't wait to meet up with him again and look forward to future matches, I'm sure I'll learn something new from him every time I see him.

This guy is skilled, trained, has loads of stamina, and is a lot of fun, to wrestle! We went at it for hours, he wore me out, but I had a great time, with the little guy! I look forward to the next time we meet up! Hopefully soon!

Long time ago... my first masked fight.. I will never forget.. one of the nicest guy I met here.. very kind, very polite.. strong and big arms.. decided yo fight till the end and that's it we did it..
We fought during his visit to Madrid and it was cool..
He know nice submission holds which he used but I was able to control his power with mine..
Hope to fight u again and do the masked fight session again.
Thxs for the add

What can I say for this amazing wrestler?
We wrestled 3 years ago in Madrid and I still remember every detail of our hot match! Great body great skills and especially great arms! He gives you the impression that he never submits! Despite our weight difference , He made me tap many times, I managed to do it only a couple of times! He is of those wrestlers you want to wrestle again and again and again!! Hope to meet again soon

Gingerfight ist ein sehr netter fighter, der sich zu helfen weiß! Dabei helfen ihn seine Beweglichkeit und sein trainierter Körper weiter! Gerne wieder! :)

Hard fight.. one winner..
strong arms and strong fighter soul..
we got the chance to meet and have fun for couple of hours..
the place was not the best but we did it

next time maybe you will be lucky

Netter Gegner, der sich an die Absprachen hält.
Es war ein schwitziger Kampf, gern wieder.
Auch ein sympathischer Gesprächspartner

strong guy.. he got the nerve.. moves and never stops moving...
He needs some training but he got stamina and is always ready to roll

Have had two hard and very equal fights with this strong grappler. good Stamina. strong. dedicaded to win. i have to work hard to make him tap. was always a pleasure to wrestle him. can recommand him full. don't miss him if you come to Madrid.
