Oof, how can I put this down in just a few words? 😜

David is one of the most kindest and hospitable hosts you could possibly imagine. I've now been to two of his open mats in Mechelen and they have been so smooth and well organised, with David going out of his way to help visitors out!

The group open mats are only getting larger and better and I can't wait to see where it goes next!

David is officially a BJJ white belt but does not feel like it, his mat IQ exceeds mine and he always seems to have an answer to what I'm planning before I even think of doing it... That sort of skill should be only found in club coaches 😜😜😜.

Always enjoy my trips to Belgium now and it could not be done without him. Really cannot wait for the next time, thank you so much!

What was I thinking? I challenged this guy at the open mat in Mechelen. I should have known that it would go wrong. His smile, the fire in his eyes. Oh, poor me. He showed me every corner of the mat.
The truth? Indeed he dominated me. But it was a fun and respectful fight with a lovely guy.
Come on guys. Take the chance when you can to fight wrestlingguy.

Ryan is such nice and lovely boy! Although missing to roll with him last time in Mechelen, I didn’t let the opportunity go away this time in the open mats event. He is serious and technical on the mats, well put the pressure and got control of the fight. It was an intense round and he has explosive power to dominate the match. Outside the mats, he is easy going and very pleasant to chat with although sometimes a bit shy 😉 See you very soon again in the next event! Cheers 😁

Centaur: a mythical figure. Well you can meet Centaur even live.
We went for a roll at the open mat in Mechelen. En really. He is skilled and strong. But he adapts to your level and reacts in the way you fight him. Next time again, I hope?

Although chatting for a while, finally I met Alex333 during the open mats event in Mechelen. He is agile and particularly strong 💪 which corresponds to his nicely shaped and muscled body. Off the mats he is nice to talk with while having a drink or a meal. Wish you all the best and maybe see you again soon!

JimInQueens is a solid skilled wrestler, and he walked me through a few holds. I’m still very much a rookie, and he adjusted enough without going too easy. It was a fun meeting, and he’s strong and a super nice guy.

He asked me to roll with him on the open mat in Mechelen. Even though he looks bit heavier and stronger than I do I said yes let's try, since he asked me very nicely. It was great fun to wrestle with him and time has flown very quickly. I am happy we had the opportunity and sad we didnt repeat. I hope there will be another open mat this year we could match up again or next summer. Off the mat he likes to talk a lot, I am much more shy :-). It was definitely a nice time and a good memory.

It was a pleasure to meet this great fighter during the open mats event in Mechelen. He is strong and powerful on the mats with good skills and experience in the pocket. On the other side he is very kind, respectful and takes care of his sparring partner. Couldn’t wait to meet and roll with him again soon! 👍

We met at the open mat in Mechelen, and it was a enjoyable surprise that we had the chance to roll. For quite some while I thought he is too busy and not interested to fight with me, so I am glad we had finally the opportunity. I liked very much to fight with this guy, he is skilled, fair and a nice training partner. It was a pity we couldnt fight on the second open mat day, I would have loved it. Take care & see you next time

Nice to meet and roll with Damly during the open mats event in Mechelen. He shows his experience and great passion about this sport 👍 he is agile and adapts quickly in different situations. Will certainly be happy to meet again in the next event!
