A great guy and a great host! He's recovering from back surgery, but even in a not-too-intense submission match it's clear that he has good skills that will serve him very well once he's back to 100%. Off the mat he's a quality guy and a real southern gentleman, and anyone looking for a good fun safe and sane submission match with a quality guy should look him up!

GENERAL:
NYCfight is an experienced grappler who can safely wrestle at a high intensity, imparting significant “legal pain” without injury. I give him the edge in sub wrestling skill, strength and weight and I think I had an edge in takedowns, pins, riding and punching. Our intensity, stamina and ability to take and deliver a beating seems pretty equal at this point. He also recognizes that aggression needs to be controlled, safe, isn’t personal and stays on the mat. The fact that he is good looking is just icing on the cake! I give him my HIGHEST recommendation!!

GRIND MATCH on 6/12/17:
Wrestled a grind match where goal is to exhaust your opponent using takedowns, subs, pins, riding and punches. We were only able to wrestle 1.5 hours. Neither of us were able to get the upper hand.

GRIND MATCH on 6/13/17:
Started around 4:45 and ended around 9:30, with a few water breaks. He got more subs than me, though I ramped up a couple times and tapped him quickly. Of course the point of a grind match is to wear your opponent down to the point where he just can’t continue. Neither of us could achieve that. I look forward to delivering another beating in the future and I'm sure I’ll end up taking one in return.

Es ist schon eine ganze Weile her, dass ich mich mit quadi1 getroffen habe. Ich kann mich an einen kräftigen jungen Mann erinnern, der mit großem Einsatz gekämpft und sich wacker geschlagen hat. Es war recht schwer ihn zur Aufgabe zu bringen, er hat einiges ausgehalten. Auf jeden Fall ist er ein zufälliger, netter und freundlicher Fighter und es hat mir viel Spaß gemacht mit Ihm zu kämpfen. Heute ist er ja viel muskulösen als damals und hat bestimmt einiges dazu gelernt. Wie würde unser Kampf wohl heute ausgehen?

This guy may look small but he has the strength of an ox and some skills! Watch out for his headlock - grips you like a guillotine. Strongly recommended.

Quoi de mieux pour débuter que d'affronter Paroz !
Redoutable, Agile, Puissant, Rapide, Technique, mais aussi à l'Ecoute, très Pédagogue... et Sympathique. Merci pour cette belle leçon de lutte !

I was lucky enough to meet this legend last night and what a super guy he is !
Strong and skilful, could show me a few moves ,
Looking forward to meeting this guy again for sure.

Met this powerhouse of a little guy today. His pictures show a small guy but meet him in the flesh and this guy has some strength behind him. Took all i had to get him to submit. Definitely recommended

June 2017
Had the pleasure of meeting Horti down in Dresden, for an enjoyable wrestle.

Horti is a huge man, very powerful, and with some skill to go with it. His strength and weight advantage made it pretty hard to get anything on, but we had a very enjoyable and sweaty match!

Off the mats, he is a charming man, with a lovely smile, and excellent English. Very much looking forward to next time!! Highly recommended 🐾

13-16/05/2016: It was great to meet and train with horti at the fantastic 16th International Wrestlers' Camp in Lindow (Mark). What a lovely guy! Immensely strong with an amazing physique, he is nevertheless a wrestler who wants to improve technically and was keen to put into practice what we were being taught at the training camp, so it was a surprisingly gentle experience tussling with the big guy (although a super-competitive bout with him may be a different matter!). Between training sessions he was a really interesting guy to chat to, super-friendly, witty and engaging, and he speaks better English than I do! I hope to meet and wrestle him again soon, in Brandenburg or in London, and he is very highly recommended by me.
09/06/2017: The rematch finally came in the shape of a grapple in horti's beautiful garden in Dresden which was a new experience for this grass-stained wrestler! As ever there was little I could do once he got on top but it was an awful lot of fun trying. Off the grass he proved to be a superb co-host and we had a very entertaining couple of evenings with them in amazing Dresden. The ultimate in sane grass bear wrestling: and what more could you ask for? 🐾

10/06/2017: I had the pleasure of meeting and wrestling kleiner kerl at the little group meet kindly organized for me at OefightBln's matroom in Berlin by catchbear1 and OefightBln along with xxlbear and goergilein. He proved to be startlingly strong and swift and it took a lot of work and sweat to subdue him. (And, if I'm being honest, by “subdue him” I mean more “lie on top of him” than wow anyone with my technique.) We had several little grapples during the meet and all were a pleasure and I'd welcome an opportunity to wrestle this safe and sane nice guy again.
