Martin hat Hände und Arme wir ein Bagger und er packt erbarmungslos zu. Gegen diese breiten Schultern hatte ich wenig Chancen. Nächstes Mal nehme ich meine ganze Kraft zusammen und hoffe, ihn so in den Griff zu bekommen, dass ich ihn so richtig ordentlich flachlegen kann. Freue mich jetzt schon auf die nächste Begegnung, auch weil Martin rundum sympathisch und fair ist.

I'm glad to have had four matches with Rick over the years. He is very sweet natured, attractive, and fun to be around–he's exactly the kind of guy I like to hang out with when we're done thrashing each other on the mats. He's way more skilled than I at wrestling, but he keeps everything competitive. I leave our matches with a really nice, happy/sore, smiling/aching feeling.

Nouvelle rencontre faite ces jours-ci et Riviera est toujours aussi flexible et supporte bien le travail du méchant catcheur ...! 😉 Je le recommande donc à nouveau

Taureau or translated into English "bull" is living up to his name. He charges as a bull at the beginning of the fight and has the strength to keep it up. Without having any martial arts training he managed to get several subs of me. So very strong handsome fighter with excellent stamina. A pity he is only interested in the fight because I would have loved to explore his softer site too :-). To be recommended.

Met up with Sun at a Pippas meet at last!

It was early in the session so we only had a short roll. However this was enough to show me he's a strong opponent despite his apparent diminutive build. As we grappled I'd say I saw some martial art or other in there which made for an interesting challenge. He's determined and doesn't give easily but I think soaking him in the sweat he was inducing from me gave me an advantage! Sadly the planned second bout didn't happen but I'll look forward to it.

Great guy off the mats too so meet him if you can.

I was very lucky to get the chance to wrestle this amazingly skilled wrestler. The match was easy to set up - Noby has a matroom in his house, which just shows how dedicated he is to wrestling! With his vast wrestling experience, I wasn't really a match for him, but I came to learn, and I sure did learn. While he didn't seem to tire much at my attempts to accomplish..well..anything really, the match was very safe and sane, but I definitely learned how much I can take :)
Off the mats Noby is a super nice guy, great host and interesting guy to talk to. Hope to have a rematch someday.

Damly was my second match while I was in lyon.
He is a great guy both on and off the mats and a great host too. He also has a great set up too with his mats as it was hot and sunny we out the mats outside in his secluded garden. My first time wrestling outdoors. The breeze kept us cooler than if we had wrestled indoors. Was a pleasant experience.
We wrestled a while exchanging some long slow pins and holds. As we matched up close in stats it meant we both stood an even chance of escaping.
Highly recommended if you are in lyon or if he is ever your way don't miss the chance to have a match with him safe sane and fun ;)

My first match in Lyon was against Solex. We met in the evening and wrestled a few hours in both judogi and singlet.
His holds are very good his sankakus (fig 4 headscissors )and tate shio gatamae ( double leg grapevine ) are quite strong and immobilising once he locked you down in them combined with his strength and great sense of balance you will have a struggle to escaped them. Plus the other holds he uses and knows are just as good ;).
Strong in arms and legs too meaning a great sweaty match is ensured.
His stamina is also good. Both on and off the mats he is a great guy and a great opponent AAA+++ all round.
If you ever in lyon don't miss the chance to meet him you won't be disappointed. And hopefully will get to rematch one day highly recommended. :)

Good wrestling with Freestyle. He is a safe and interresting guy on and out the mat. You must meet him.

Même s'il dit qu'il n'en fait plus depuis un moment, de solides connaissances en judo au sol à l'ancienne avec immobilisation, prises, clés etc... Donc si vous lui laisser son kimono ne soyez pas surpris de le voir prendre le dessus si vous lui en laisser l'occasion. Enlevez lui sa veste, Paul reste toujours aussi intéressé et joueur même si l'absence de tissus le perturbe un peu. Une séance très sympa, dans un excellent esprit dans laquelle on a bien sué en se faisant bien plaisir. A refaire bien évidemment et nécessairement recommandé.
