GrapplingHB is recommended by Matwix (2/25/2024)
It was my honor with roll with this Master in the open mats event in Mechelen. He was kind enough to wear the Gi for my convenience and let me apply the attacks. It was impossible for me to pass through his extremely solid defense by any means, which showed his high skills and rich experience in the art. He is also very friendly and respectful gentleman both on the mats and outside and easy to talk with. Hope to learn more next time from him in other fighting events! My deep respects and of course highly recommended!

It was a pleasure to meet this gentleman in the open mats event in Mechelen. I was very impressed by his power and skills during the rolling. He showed me good techniques and physical conditions. Although we just had one round together, it was pretty nice and intensive. He is also a very polite and nice guy to talk with. outside the mats. Hope to meet in other fighting events one day again! Highly recommended!
Savage is recommended by Rower87 (2/25/2024)
Meet Ryan gents. He appeared a bit shy in the beginning, but once the rolls were on, a metamorphosis takes place. I think we met a guy who did tremendous efforts in the last months and harvests the fruits of it. He is technical, despite being a beginner (advanced beginner) he uses his full potential. I think he will be an even stronger opponent in the future. Hope to see him again on our summer open mat.
Muscularboy is recommended by Bamm-Bamm (2/25/2024)
Our first meeting was in Cologne around July 2017. Back then, Muscularboy was just a boy: young and innocent but with a great will and spirit to fight. His explosiveness and power were already obvious back then, as was his relaxed state of mind and the fact that he liked long walks to and through cities.
Seven years after our first meeting, the boy has clearly become a man. Thanks to formal BJJ training, he now knows how to use his strength and explosiveness to submit his opponent. I was very happy to host him, to fight him again, and to take him to the BJJ All Inc open mat event last Sunday. The fact that he fought almost continuously for three hours should be a clear indication of his stamina and willingness to roll.
Don't hesitate to meet and fight this guy. He's a super sweet person off the mats, a great challenge on the mats, and perfectly safe and controlled if you ask politely 😊
hedloker uk is recommended by Bamm-Bamm (2/25/2024)
I noticed Hedloker UK at the BJJ All Inc Open Mat event; in gi, with a colored belt, and a nice and friendly presence. The massive weight difference between us didn't give me much hope of actually sparring with him. But then came the inevitable moment where we both seemed to be exhausted and in desperate need of a break. Our eyes met and, socially awkward as fighters can be, the only words we could muster were "roll?" and "sure!"
He passes guards easily because 'fast' and 'jumpy'. Then he clings on like a spider because of 'hooks' and probably years of formal training. So, it's 'rodeo time'... how hard can it be to throw a 60ish kg guy off me? Well, very hard it seems. After two bumps, he's still unimpressed and holding on to the side guard. We both start laughing. We both needed rest more than a serious roll. But yet, here we are, all set up for a great round of sparring.
I can highly recommend him for all levels. He's huge fun, and I hope to meet him again someday and press repeat.
GuidingLight is recommended by Bamm-Bamm (2/25/2024)
I need a ‘guiding light’ like this person in my life to teach me about healthy nutrition intake and (mainly) discipline. Look at his body! He’s my age. People our age aren’t supposed to look as good and ripped as he does. So, respect!
As a person he’s very pleasant to have around and great to have conversations with.
His fighting style is characterized by his eagerness and mobility. It makes the game of catch-control-submit so much fun. Especially with a formally trained fighter like him.
There is some tenseness in his fighting however. Mostly due to our 20Kg weight difference, but I’m sure that that’s just a matter of time and getting used to each other.
Something we can both work on during a next meet hopefully ;-)
Just a short update after our meet during BBJ All Inc's Open Mat event, and 6 months after our first meet in August:
GuidingLight was already a good fighter, but now he has also become more comfortable and less tense in fighting bigger guys like me. It is a huge pleasure to see him make that kind of progress👍
Thanks you very much for the roll, and looking forward to a next meet.

I met this nice guy on the open mat in Mechelen
It was a very nice but too short meeting. This experienced, compact and strong fighter is a nice for groudwork fun. He knows how to strangle and armlock you. Hope to meet you again. Recommended!
sportmuscumili is recommended by Matwix (2/25/2024)
It was interesting to meet sportmuscumili in the open mats event in Mechelen. We didn't do the submission wrestling but Greco-Roman styles wrestling instead. It was quite new for me to try this. He explained to me what is the goal of the game. He is very strong wrestler after all and it was almost impossible to turn him around from the defensive guard on the mats while on the other side I was constantly turned on the ground by him. It was a very interesting match for me to try something new. Sportmuscumili is a kind and friendly gentleman both inside and outside the mats. Highly recommended!
wrestler dj is recommended by Matwix (2/25/2024)
It is my honor to finally meet wrestler dj in the open mats event in Mechelen! Before the start of the event, we had a lovely group dinner together and had some nice chats. He is a very friendly and kind person. I am impressed by how energetic he is to participate different fighting events cross different countries. During the event, he showed great techniques and strong power but always in a delicately controlled manner. It was definitely great pleasure and learning to roll with him. I am looking forward to meeting again in the coming events somewhere. Thanks again for the help and everything! Take care!
Matwix is recommended by Nik27 (2/25/2024)
Had an amazing fight with Matwix. He is skilled and strong. It is hard to escape his muscular arms and legs. That said, he is also a polite, respectful and relaxed guy. I really enjoyed our fight and I'm looking forward to the rematch!
