Michael is Farm Boy Strong and Farm Boy Tough!! Great House Guest and fun on the mats!

Totally enjoyed my fight with this man....very skilled fighter..can fight at any level...would def wanna meet again, for a good time and a good fight...

Great hospitality and friendliness. And I'm not so sure he's a novice!

I had a really enjoyable time with Squashlad. He is a strong, skilled and flexible wrestler who doesn't give easily. He is quite a bit heavier than me but with a bit of speed and deviousness I managed to get a few subs out of him, but it wasn't easy! He is a great guy to host and interesting to spend time with and I would have no hesitation wrestling him again. He certainly knows how to bring out both sides of my character 😉

April 2016 Another very good grapple with this strong lad. As before, stubborn when caught in holds/locks and certainly knows how to sub you if you give him a chance....! Maybe I was a bit mean (I am bigger!) and enjoyed making him tap out too much, but he got some revenge anyway. Very trustworthy and totally safe on the mats and I am not going to tell you what his weakness is!! Very good company overall. Recommended.

Had a really good grapple with this strong guy, who knows how to apply a determined armlock! He is tough, stubborn and keeps going. Has a good sense of humour and very easy to chat to off the mats. Reliable and considerate too. Certainly recommended!

It was a privilege to meet up with UKSF. I must say, having read his previous recommendations, I was a little nervous about meeting this obviously very accomplished BJJ fighter as I have zero formal training in that style (....um, very little training in any style really!), but UKSF put me totally at ease and was great to talk to, immediately seeming to understand where I was at. I learned a huge amount in a relatively short amount of time from this master-grappler who was unbelievably patient and tolerant in giving instruction and showing me some extremely useful stuff that I had previously only kind of half understood. (Now......who can I practice on.......?) In the short bursts where we went a little more competitive I rapidly found (...as I had thought.....!) that I had much to learn. If I could, I would get regular lessons from this man - he is a natural teacher and considerate when trying things out. Though he could have mangled me in a sequence of never ending submissions quite easily, I felt entirely safe and would highly recommend that if you can get a meet with this guy you take the opportunity. He is a mannerly man and (ahem, cough cough) rather sexy with it, though our session was focussed very definitely on me improving my wrestling skills. A very kind man, but if you get caught in his RNC you will discover his talent for that is exceptional. Also a very good sense of humour too.

Really cool guy, we watched some wrestling DVD's then had a practice session, all good fun, Recommended.

Had a good meet with Kevin with some fun, slow paced ground grappling.
As he says he loves resisting holds and really makes you work for any hold or submission.
I had a big height and weight advantage which came in very handy!
A genuinely nice, friendly guy as well so happy to recommend him.

21/04/2016: It's a great way to spend a pleasant spring evening, wrestling the well-named leanmuscles at his funky zone 1 home. He's fast, friendly, charming and in great shape, and possessed of a mean headlock, great reflexes, some good technique---and an impressive sixpack. Most of the time my additional 20+ lbs kept me out of trouble or got me the reversal after his swift takedowns [saved by the belly again!], but he took plenty of well executed submissions off me in his turn. He's adaptable too, with both a bit of a jobber and a bit of a heel in him, and he can be creatively mean when he's in charge and on top. All very safely and sanely done though. Leanmuscles is also a generous and welcoming host and an interesting guy to chat to: we talked after the match even longer than we'd been wrestling. As a result, I very much hope that we can wrestle again soon and he's very highly recommended by me.

I can only confirm previous recommendations. A tall, big and strong young guy who knows how to handle an opponent in a safe and fun way, but always knowing where he wants to go. Applying any kind of hold on him is for me a challenge, because of the size difference, but this also means a lot of fun. I recommend him without hesitation.
