This dude is stacked with soccer player legs and a wrestlers upper body. He's polite, interesting and fun.

Met with CroMan yesterday and had a lot of fun. Since we have similar weight, it was a good practice and challenge for both of us. Also had some really pleasant talks off the mats. Recommended!

On my last night in Krakow, I smashed into a Polish Tank of a man named Bartek. If you read others' recommendations of me, many opponents have said how strong I am. But there is strong, and then there is Bartek Strong - he is at least an order of magnitude stronger than me.

Although he says he has no BJJ training, which is astonishing, he knows how to inflict pain on his opponent to his advantage. Very few opponents literally wear me out, and he did. then we chilled and had some fun back and forth rolling around, and then some great conversation about camping in the Balkan countries, travel, and wrestling.

I'm so glad he was able to meet for a match on the last night before his last day of work before summer holidays. He was easy to communicate with and super easy to schedule with even on such short notice. I hope to get a rematch with him someday, and definitely recommend a match with him if you get the chance.. I'd love to see someone of similar size with advanced BJJ skills take him on :-)

Meet him! This guy is a class act all around and proof that unplanned, chance meets can be very fun. Purc suggested a meet and within 12 hours we were rolling. He’s very fit (pics are not doing him justice ) and fronts up ready to fight with excellent energy. Thanks for the meet, hoping a second round is on the cards

Strong, fluid, explosive - he moved like a serpent with control and presence. As we tired out, the match shifted into more calm, connected rolling. A magnetic energy on the mats, and a great person to meet. Big thanks for the warm welcome to the Fight Club.

Muy buena pelea mano a mano 😈

I had the pleasure of locking up with this stud during my final stint in Boston, and I feel very fortunate to have been able to get a match with him.

Being such a liftable guy, he generously allowed me to try quite a few lifts on him that I don’t get to do very often. Also, he doesn’t shy away from contact. In fact, he invites it and encouraged me to apply more pressure on submission holds and to hit him harder, much to my delight.

In terms of setting up a match with him, he was a consummate professional through and through. Easy and direct in his communication, which made setting up the match a breeze. He expressed exactly what he was looking for in the match, so I knew exactly what to expect. In addition, he’s super friendly and an easy guy to chat with.

I ended up having a great time overall! Clearly, he’s already a well established wrestler. Nonetheless, I must give my stamp of approval and let it be known that I highly recommend him as an opponent.

Buen contrincante, majo y respetuoso que aunque nuestra diferencia de estatura y peso y me costo lo suyo y sudores pude con el. Espero volver a repetir

Great friend and host. We had the match at his place that he set up with mats. He had told me before that he had no experience. Well, he fool me, he is good and used his height and strength to his advantage. I was so hard to put him on holds and make him submit but was in vain. However, I enjoyed the struggle and if you ever go to Torreón, you will find a great rival, host and friend on him.

Gran amigo y anfitrión. Tuvimos la lucha en su oficina, que acondicionó con colchonetas de esponja. Me había dicho antes que no tenía experiencia. Bueno, me engañó, es bueno y aprovechó su altura y fuerza. Me costó muchísimo aplicarle llaves y someterlo pero no pude. Sin embargo disfruté mucho luchar contra el, que si alguna vez vas a Torreón, encontrarás en él un gran rival, anfitrión y amigo.

We had a great match. He's a very good teacher, he knows what he's talking about, he's patient, he can deliver punches with precision and force. I enjoyed trading punches, he takes as well as he gives, he's tough!
We had an immediate connection, and that helps.
All the other stuff was perfect - communication leading up to the match was good, he was on time, he was flexible, he was open to changing things up as we went along.
If you are interested in punching, definitely reach out and try to arrange a match with him!
