I had the chance to meet up with this gentleman at a recent event, and it was an incredible experience.

Even though he is relatively new to the sport, he immediately demonstrated a very proficient defense coupled with impressive stamina and endurance. He wrestled as long, or longer, than any of the experienced grapplers at the meet, showcasing his impressive physical fitness.

In addition to his physical abilities, he demonstrated an awareness of, and concern for, safety that is the hallmark of a seasoned grappler.

Once he finds his stride and finds the confidence to attack, he'll be a force to be reckoned with on the mats.

Beyond the privilege of rolling with him, we also had the opportunity to have some solid conversations over dinner and drinks. I enjoyed discussing our mutual love of weightlifting, as well as the opportunity to dive into a wide array of topics beyond.

It was an incredibly enjoyable experience, and I have to admit, I'm looking forward to the day when he surpasses my own skill level. With his natural ability and dedication, it's not far off.

Met this guy twice when he was on this site previously. A good opponent. Safe sane and sensible.
Strong and can give and take punishment. I had one victory against him and one draw.
He is personable and discreet. Hoping to have a third match with him when my arm/shoulder has healed.

This guys loves his lycra gear and he looks incredible in all of it - amazing physique. Had lots of fun trading holds and stretching each other out in between the gear changes. Really nice guy, happy to recommend and I really hope we're able to roll again.

We were originally going to meet at Wrestlefest EU, but sadly I had to pull out. Luckily for me, he came to another event in London recently, and we had a chance to grapple!

I had a lot of fun, our rolls were smooth and controlled, which my battered knees appreciated! He clearly has been in the game for a long time, with a great sense of position and strength.

And, come on, let's admit it, he has an absolutely fantastic beard.

We also had the chance to have some food and drinks together, and it was great to get to know him, and compare our common American origins. He is really friendly, easy to spend time with. We talked about a broad range of topics from silly to serious with equal ease.

Looking forward to rolling with him again, and I highly recommend him.

Truly a pleasure to have met and wrestled WanttoWrestle! He's passionate, confident with quite the solid punching power. Enjoyed the time he made while visiting Portland.
