I regret it took so long for me to coordinate my schedule with his. This guy is fantastic grappling partner on the mats. His skill is apparent in his submission defense and strong situational grappling. He was kind enough to show me a couple of moves that will definitely improve my game! Off the mats, he is a great guy. If you have a chance to roll with him, do not pass up the opportunity. He has my highest recommendation.

The meet with Grakoda proved to be fun challenging. He is a determined and energetic wrestler. He learns quickly and always willing. Off the mat he is very easy to get along with and so I recommend him.

Had a terrific match today with Apollonian. He has a great wrestler's build, knows his holds, and has some additional martial arts background. We worked a number of holds on each other and probably got an equal amount of submissions. Watch out for his headscissors and headlocks. He can apply them as well as I can, and with the same results! Fun to spend time with off the mats as well. Don't miss a chance to wrestle this guy. He's the real deal. Can't wait for our rematch!

Both and outstanding man and wrestler!

RassleNYC is muscular hairy stud–a very tough and strong wrestler, and a lot of fun to fight. We were completely drenched in sweat and very slippery, which made the fight more challenging and interesting. He's sexy, intelligent, determined, skilled, and hates to lose, so it was definitely a good time. Highly recommended!

One of the most skilled fighters i ever fought. He is very fast, strong and adaptable. We have similar stats but he is cleary the better wrestler. Nice to fight with and he has a amazing focus which he uses more than once to show off his strength on my body and foremostly on my abs which took a good beating :). Further he was a amazing host and one of the nicest persons i ever met. Hope to get to rematch him over and over again until i finally can make a dent in his rockhard body.

Toro is an amazing muscular and furry wrestler. He has a great mat setup, and was a ton of fun on them. Very skilled and sexy, I would have another match with him in a heartbeat.

Ein sehr sympatischer Gegner der gut raufen kann und spielerisch alles ausprobiert. Hat mir sehr viel Spass gemacht!

Ich will auch so Trainingstiere haben ;-) Da merkt man das er fest zupacken muss! So viel Gegenwehr hatte ich lange nicht mehr. Sehr nett und dazu noch sehr stark. Man muss einfach aös erster oben sein ;-)

He suggested shorts ánd shirt to fight in (first time ever for me :-) ... and when we hit the mats he said "mouth guard?!". That goes as an indication of how competitive it was.
It doesn't describe well, however, how much fun we had: laughter and giggles throughout the whole fight, and beer in the breaks.
He proved - as always in bjj/grappling - that technicality and experience trump power and weight. He's strong, and good.
In some positions he's clueless. Some holds, although well executed, failed due to weight/power difference. All very recognizable and reason for much laughter - even though I was the one tapping out most of the time :-)
He's totally safe and controled: holds are applied carefully and released in time. Yes, he's competitive, but he doesn't mind losing a hold for safety.
Meet him. Really. This is a fighter suitable for all levels: from inexperienced beginners to brown belts.
Great personality: friendly and gentle in life, driven and motivated on the mats.
There'll be a rematch. For sure!
