Zdjęcia nie oddają, ale jest to zawodnik posiadający siłę, zwinność i pewne doświadczenie wyniesione z Muay Thai. To wszystko sprawia, że jest świetnym parterem do walki. Zdecydowanie polecam, bo po zdobyciu przezeń większego doświadczenia będzie dużym wyzwaniem go pokonać! Równocześnie bardzo sympatyczny facet, można porozmawiać zdaniami złożonymi. Plus także za precyzyjne komunikowanie! :)

Opponent #31 on my cross-country wrestling saga. With every match, every challenger serves like a diary log. Every write-up becomes far more than the standard, "He was very communicative. We had a fun match."

I purposefully seek out mutual vibes. Not random matches, not trying to wrestle every guy on this site. No, it's about other men who – for whatever reason – align. What's the wrestle spark? Grapplegrunt is a good guy. Off the mats, he reminds me of me going through that time in life: working hard, and working hard to make changes. A time when wrestling anchors and provides an escape when weeks and months go by too fast, seemingly caught in a grind. A time when, after hours on the job and clocking out late, squeezing in a midnight match does a world of good.

Even though I had to be in Chicago Downtown at 6AM for another match and then 1PM for another-'nother match, we rolled from 1130PM-1AM+. Eager to job and never letting a moment go by to fill with conversation, grapplegrunt sported a gifted gray with side-strip trunks. He relaxed, eyes clenching and shocked mouth opening wide as when my thighs tightened around that torso and head ("G** damn, man, your legs...") . He chilled when I scooped up his jaw and whispered into his ear, back bent and arms draped over my knees. I think he slept well after. Grapplegrunt fought back hard, resisting and turning the tables... but sometimes, it's good to be a heel.

Hope to see you again soon, bud.

After Noel Wrestler and I met, I drove through Northern Indiana in the rain. Cue the HOOSIERS soundtrack and small town horizons. My cross country road trip had to be cut short two weeks. At this point, I'd either veer north to Detroit (where an opponent wasn't confirming, plus two others waited) or drive south to Noel. I chose Noel.

He wasn't just opponent #30 on this trek – and the #50 overall since I returned to the website. He was a lot like me growing up. A truly decent, un-jaded guy figuring things out in an area without a lot of outlets. But the love of wrestling is community. And in community, we're neighbors.

He's also a talented and instinctive wrestler. Promission/submission was in the cards for our early morning match. We geared up – veteran in dark blue/vertical stripes vs. rookie in metallic sheen red. After teaching him a few holds for his arsenal (look out, guys, he's a quick study), we tangled. I thought he'd be in jobber mode, but oh, no. His bearhug – and its reverse version – is boa-tight and python-caliber. His endurance is high (two and a half hours straight wrestling), his threshold solid. I had to repeatedly hit him with a barrage of scissors variations to bring him down. I also had to be careful because with each tapout, Noel came back stronger, using my finishing holds on HIM against ME. Why that little ####!!! LOL. Seriously though, he took me out on a beautiful side sleeper/leg split cover, complete with one knee bent back hard into my hamstring. He's got heeling in his veins. Grr.

We grabbed lunch and talked life, continuing to text as miles (and stoplights) grew further apart. We'll meet again. Until then, when you're traveling through his area, reach out to this guy. It'll be a match you'll always remember.

Studd and I have been chatting for years and we were finally able to connect while I was in PHL. Our match went back and forth. He’s strong, fun, and definitely worth wrestling. One of the nicest guys you will meet and great to talk with off the mats.

I am honored to be the first to wrestle and to write a recommendation for Santos1987. He joined MeetFighters right before I visited Lisbon, and I’m so glad the timing worked out. He is a sweet guy, a fun opponent, and a willing student. And as you see, he looks great in a pair of trunks. I taught him a few pro moves and we had a couple of old school pro matches. He caught on quickly and was a lot of fun. He also wants to learn the more competitive styles, so you sub and NHB guys help him out. So glad we met.

Dla mnie było to świetny zawodnik na pierwszy mecz. Pokazał mi wiele chwytów, zapewnił miejsce spotkania i był świetnym towarzyszem rozmowy. Podbudował moją pewność siebie, chwaląc za siłę i zwinność, chociaż nie miałem szans z siłą BrtekK – jest to bardzo silny zawodnik i do tej pory nie przegrał meczu, był chętny na wyrównanie walki np, przez zaproponowanie, że będzie walczył jedną ręką kiedy już bardzo opadłem, z sił. Dodatkowo każda z rund stopniowo zwiększała swoją intensywność, co mi się podobało. Wróciłem z kilkoma lekkimi siniakami, zmęczony i bardzo zadowolony!

This tough young lad was brave enough to take on two dads in a round robin. He looks great but is way stronger and feistier than you would think. It was so much fun scrapping with him. Definitely want another go at him.

We tried meeting 2 years prior but we were unable to meet. So at last we finally got to meet and it was totally worth the waiting.

andreawrestling is a very cute and nice guy. We met in his place where he setup a proper tatami mat. We fought both in gi and without gi later one. I gotta say Andrea is very strong and skiled, probably much more skilled than I am. We had a good and competitive back and forth match, not too intense but very safe and enjoyable. We met later in Berlin during wrestlefest, where got to enjoy the event together along with sicwre88.

Outside the mats, Andrea is an amazing host and a fantastic person to hang out with. He also gave me many tips of places to visit and foods to try out in Italy. We also had the change to hang out in Berlin during wrestlefest. I had a fantastic time in Italy and in Berlin with him!

100% recommend this guy, as a fighter, as a host and as a friend!

😊 I always attempt to write a long and passionate recommendation after a really good match. However, sometimes I can't put it into words. So this is off the top of my head

Muythai and I have met twice now, and I'm positive we will meet several more times. He's such a kind sweet person. Very generous, very flexible, and very great at explaining things he has knowledge of. 🧡Off the mats he could easily be my best friend. On the mats, he's either a teacher or a beast. His strength and technique are inspiring, 🥰and can feel really good if you're on the receiving end of it. I Love strong fighters. I also really Love strong fighters who can control their intensity.

We usually start with boxing warm-ups and drills and other things he taught me. Maybe some Ab Conditioning as well. Then followed by Boxing. I'm not the best, so he took it easy on me... 😄at first... Then eventually after enough rounds, we'd end things with Ab Conditioning.

My favorite part of losing to Muythai was how far and how long he pushed me past my limits. My Abs took a beating that I felt for 4 days afterwards. It felt like our dial for intensity started at 4/10 and slowly ramped to 12/10. Sometimes very overwhelming. Other times 😍 It felt so good. It felt like he punched my Abs through the mats for over an hour after he already beat me in boxing. He had the strength to make me submit in minutes, 💚 but he made my Abs last. It definitely makes my Abs stronger for the next match too

🥰If i could keep Muythai all for myself, I would hehehe. ❤️After you've had a match with him, you might think the same thing.

Ein sehr gutes und abwechslungsreiches Treffen mit ihm, was zu jeder Zeit viel Spaß gemacht hat. Wir haben im Armdrücken Kräfte gemessen und man muss neidlos anerkennen, dass er zu stark war, was man schon an seinen Bildern und seinen Oberarmen, wenn man ihn dann auch trifft, voraussehen konnte. Auch zwischen den Runden und danach ergaben sich viele interessante und tiefgründige Gespräche mit Erfahrungsaustauschen auch im sportlichen Bereich.
Eine Bereicherung, dich kennengelernt zu haben und es wird nicht das einzige Treffen bleiben - das ist abgemacht. Danke dir.
