Une opportunité pour rencontrer Tapout, ça ne se rate pas. Hum, je dois reconnaître que je me suis un peu inquiété, sa réputation ne presageait rien de bon sur notre fight ..
Mais, sa supériorité avérée m'a donné toute la hargne nécessaire et je me rejouis d'afficher un score plutôt honorable puisque je l'ai forcé à frapper le tapis plusieurs fois :

• clé à la cheville (3 abandons)
• clé de jambe (1 abandon)
• clé de bras (1 abandon)
• écartellement (2 abandons)
• clé au poignet (1 abandon)
• plus lâchement : torsion des doigts (1abandon, mais ça ne compte pas)

Bon ça, ce sont mes victoires, je n'ai pas compté les étranglements, les clés à l'épaule, les clés au poignets et les ciseaux qui lui ont donné la victoire, non, sur ce coup je suis fier d'avoir tenu tête a cet athlète redoutable.
Tu seras le bienvenu sur le tapis et à la maison .. quand tu veux, je n'ai plus peur ...

Puissant et technique, voilà un excellent lutteur qui s'adapte au niveau de son adversaire. Etat d'esprit remarquable d'un mec intelligent et très sympathique. Vivement recommandé !

I met Tornado in London on 17th Sunday. We had 2 hours hotel match.

He is very strong, fit and muscular guy. I enjoyed the good tussle with him. He is a very competitive opponent, who has matured in many forms of wrestling. Sub match sessions, give and take, we got subs out of each other.

I am no match for his strength. If he can bench press 80 kilos in the gym, I would be a cake walk to him in wrestling strength and skills. But he wrestled at my skill level competitively. I managed to get few submissions out of him than he got out of me. I guess it was not about winning and loosing, it was about us having a good work out and passion for wrestling.

After match we had a good conversation over dinner. He is a gentleman overall, treats his opponents with utmost courtesy and respect. I wish to wrestle him again and again. I certainly learnt many moves and also like his company off the mats. Look forward to our next match in the many matches to come.

We had a pretty even match. Pirgos is fit, in excellent shape and knows a hold or two. He's an excellent opponent and I'd recommend him anytime.

Luttesport knows what he wants in a fight and really goes for it. As he gains more experience he will be more likely to gain a submission but I think I was the top dog in this encounter. Woof.

Had a great session with Hugefan, or as I like to call him Sir Stephen, Knight of the Nipple. Stephen is an accomplished wrestler so this wasn’t really a match; it will be a long time, maybe never, before I am a match for him. But he was patient and attentive in showing a newbie some stuff whilst making sure it was fun. Odd to have been laughing so much being subject to his ‘tortures’. Learned quite a bit but mainly how much more there is to learn. He is a great guy too, generous and welcoming and would recommend to all levels.

Lutteur sympathique, déterminé, animé d'une envie de s'imposer certaine. Très bon combat.

Extrêmement sympa, charmant et accueillant à l'arrivée, il va vite se transformer en lutteur redoutable sur le tapis avec une très grande force et une bonne technique.
Chaudement recommandé !

I had an excellent match with matchup. Super nice guy and a goood wrestler. Fit, strong, quiet fast on the mat and with witty sense of humor :)We both probably were a bit rusty on the mat but still manage to have a pretty competitive match. I am looking forward to another match with him and You should too ;)

Mike is unique. He is the only person who reads every word of waffle I write here. I know because he quotes bits back to me. So I feel duty bound to write a few words for him alone. Firstly as he likes to remind me, he is a true beginner, I think the implication is that I am a sham beginner but we will let that pass. Secondly as he even more frequently reminded me he is quite a bit lighter than me. For both reasons I thought it best to give him a gentle co-operative introduction to wrestling and share what little knowledge I have. So I taught him how to keep his arms close together and his legs wide apart and particularly how to keep his arms close to his chest as this can be a vulnerable area for attack (from me). I also kindly let him try out lots of holds on me although I felt it was important to demonstrate them multiple times on him to make sure he learned them properly.

But he taught me something too, that I am definitely tickilish, not that for a moment I am suggesting this was an underhand low life cheating form of fighting because he did apologise for it afterwards once or twice or threetimes.

In case anyone takes this seriously I should say we had a great fun afternoon with a lot of laughs and Mike is not a push over, he is a strong guy and with a bit more practice will be giving everyone problems (without the use of tickle fingers ha ha) Really nice guy and safe reliable and a good laugh.
