This guy is strong, scrappy, and knows how to get you into some good holds. Had a blast wrestling with him. Our time was short and sweaty, but it's making me look forward to the next match we have.

A wonderful man and an incredible asset to the community, capsaicin is a relentless advocate to bring more people into the amateur wrestling world in an environment that is welcoming for LBGT folks and he does so with such a big smile and a strong hug.

I saw him wrestle in Vegas a tournament. He gave me the support in my ear that I needed to be my best there too. He was kind enough to invite me up to a practice in NYC and told me to go full singlet and lose my shorts and shirt for our match.

It was great to drill together finally and wrestle a little in their space, and even better to get dinner and share some time talking about how we found our ways to where we are now. We'd been talking for about 6-7 years now, and just instantly felt connected in person, and I'm so glad we did.

Almost a year ago in an open mats session during Toronto wrestlefest, our eyes caught across the mat, but we weren't able to get a match in then (alas! The feeling of the fest). But the magic of Meetfighters and chatting all along the way kept the heat up for months until there was a chance to meet in NYC and finally get some unfinished business done.

Though a train ride and a long flight sapped us of some energy, there was much heat to work through as we made good on some promises made over text, and maybe shared a little technique back and forth.

An absolutely lovely man who I was happy to connect with on a few more levels than just wrestling, and glad we made good on the thought that we'll wrestle someday in the future. Those matches do happen and they can be absolutely fun :)

If you want a good workout, try this guy on for size. Though he doesn't have any formal training, he is quite the holds expert. At the start of the match, he came right out of the gate on the offensive and was aggressively confident, which was a lot of fun. I look forward to rolling on the mat with him again.

We had been messaging for quite a while, and he decided to come over right after Wrestlefest. Of course, I was still excited to fight him because he’s a great guy, easy to talk to, and we’re into similar things. The fight was great, even though I was a bit tired and injured from the previous days, so we took a more relaxed approach. Definitely recommend!

I had the pleasure of doing just one training session with Fightyou in Hamburg, but that was more than enough to see what a great person and athlete he is. I am incredibly grateful that he was my mentor for my first ever formal class in BJJ.
From the very beginning, Fightyou showed me immense trust—he invited me to his gym and lent me his own gear (spare gi and a rashguard). He has an impressive, strong masculine presence and is in peak physical shape, yet he carries absolutely no arrogance (which is sometimes so typical among grapplers).
Throughout the BJJ and open mat time, he conducted himself as a true gentleman. On the mats, he immediately made me feel safe, guiding me with respect and patience. For me as a beginner, it was a real privilege to learn from a guy with such strong character and maturity.
He is an outstanding mentor and without a doubt, ready for his black belt. I wish him the very best on his way to getting it, because he truly deserves it—both for his skills and his exceptional character. Thank you!

FreestyleWrestler wanted to come to Hamburg for a sportive match... So I asked him if he’d like to come to training with me, and to my surprise, he agreed right away. That’s why I was happy to introduce him to my club and my sport. What made it even better for me was that he was totally thrilled afterward. Unfortunately, we didn't have time this time for him to show me his freestyle wrestling skills. We also had some nice conversations off the mat. In any case, I’m looking forward to seeing him again sometime—with a solid foundation in BJJ :)!

Had a great meet up with Cliff on his lunch hour. He looks just like his photos – he’s in incredible shape and is a very good looking guy. We took advantage of the time we had with sizing each other up, flexing and working holds on each other. Very much looking forward to our next bout so we can pick up where we left off. Great guy - scheduling was easy as was the conversation. Definitely recommend him!

I had a fun welcome to Krakow from Xugudu. He is easy to schedule and will share his likes and interests. Wrestling: he has strong/long arms and legs that go on for days which make them very hard to manage. Numerous times he picked me up with ease! A mattress is too small to wrestle this man - would be even more fun on mats with more space. Friendly and fun!

Thank you for wrestling me at Wrestlefest Berlin 2026!

Guys coming from the world of arm wrestling are always a challenge, your need to prove your physical strength front and center. :)
