No matter if in Lima on my mats in the past or in Madrid in 2014 on his mats, always fun to roll with. His BJJ skills combined with a big mouth and provocative behaviour make the experience complete. Rialta enjoys to suffer in triangles, crucifixes and similar holds (you might hear a "qué cabrón" coming out of his mouth), but will seek to pay back with the same if you let him. I especially like the rolling flow with him.

For your readers of recommendations: gigromeo was not the first who had Mad Grappler T in a nice crucifix!

I did not track our first matches, but the later ones:

10. XII. 2015: Morning grappling session in the park in San Borja, Lima. Always fun, nice moves. Mad Grappler T has gained weight and more strengths, that might have led to the 3:9 result ;-) However, hearing him suffering in some holds recompensated a bit *lol* The provocative behavior comes with the package. We keep on rolling!

16. XII. 2015: After an armbar, a crucifix, two triangles and another move, he leads 5:1. Funfactor always high!

17.XII. 2015: He showed me what a twister his. Feeling it speeds up learning ;-) The scene is left with 6:2 for mr. mad (!) Grappler ;-) Just teasing ...

23. XII. 2015: Christmas grappling: 9:1 for Mad Grappler T (I had to give him a Christmas present): While he had to tapout on a Kimura, he applied a triangle, a crucifix, a leglock, stretching my lower legs, a mounted triangle (!) and his Kimura too. It was really fun to roll with him - he should be purple belt!!!

11. VI. 2016: Our champ is offering matsurfing now with his own 2 m x 2 m mat in Madrid. We had awesome matches in a competitive style before entering more into a teasing and game mode. He is one of my favourite submission grapplers as we match really nicely. If he cannot take me down on the mats, he succeeds definitely by using Peruvian food in awesome nearby restaurants - I love it and fall for it! Let's keep up the friendship and the fun training!

At the beginning of the match, he sat there calmly and just waiting for me to commit a mistake. Indeed, I could not do anything, I needed to tap many times.

A few elements of our sparring: I was happy to defend a side choke - just to end up in an armbar. MadGT showed me that a bow and arrow technique was also possible in No Gi ;-) When I was trapped in a crucifix, he tortured me a bit with his fist in my ribs - the side that was not injured. When starting a new round, he made me remembering to watch where I put my hands as he could apply a wrist lock to my hands on his chest. No idea which kind of side control he did - I just felt his shoulder heavy on me and my arm choking me so that I had to tap. MadGT also managed to work over my chest while my both hands were trapped. When I finally put him in a triangle, he managed to open my legs and press them apart so that I had to tap.

A very nice and caring host of the mats. I just had a stopover in Madrid. The full programme included: free shower, free Peruvian food, grappling, dinner at a Spanish restaurant and drop off at the airport. Definitely to repeat - with a bit more time! Thanks, old friend!

A great match with a great guy, we were very compatible in loads of aspects which made the match very good. Easy to arrange, and super friendly. Totally recommended!

Lotta a terra was so kind to invite me to his country-side house where he has good matspace and we really needed this for our energetic rolls. He really gave me a lot of trouble to stand my ground and I needed a lot of patience to wait for that opening to attack - and I needed even more patience to wait for an attack of mine that went through;-)
Thank you for our intense time on the mat and our pleasant time off the mat!
I am very looking forward to a second meeting and I will surely return to Italy for an encore with this kind host.

Finally, we had the chance to organise a match!
Andre is incredibly fit, a real bundle of muscles, and he knows exactly how to use his strength. Combined with his experience and technique, you’d have to be top-class to stand a chance against him.
Off the mat, he’s very friendly and gentle; on the mat, he makes it very difficult for his opponent and knows how to escape from any hold.
It was a really cool match, I really enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to a revenge match!

It was easy to arrange a meeting with Ariyan. Despite the size difference, he was technical, agile, and relentless. All I could do was flex my muscle and fend off or delay some of the attack. Unfortunately, I had to give up at some point...

If you want to learn and see how a high-level jujitsu-ka grappler fights, Ariyan is someone you must meet. Highly recommend.

Habe keine Chance. wrestlercologne hat einen starken Griff an meinem Nacken, drückt vorwärts und schafft es dann immer relativ mühelos, mich aus dem Gleichgewicht zu bringen und mich zu dominieren. Zugegebenermaßen war dies mein erster Kampfabend nach fast 6 Wochen Pause nach einer Rippenverletzung - aber selbst ohne diese hätte ich wohl Mühe gehabt, mich zu behaupten. Fast schon peinlich, wenn das mir als BJJ-Blaugurt passiert. Ein Grund mehr, eine Revanche zu planen ...

Excelente luchador, tiene mucha resistencia y un abdomen que aguanta bastante los castigos, me enseñó algunas formas de someter a tu rival que terminaron en su contra, espero volver a luchar con el algún día, el debe aprender más palabras en español y yo prometí aprender inglés, es un chico muy agradable y fácil de quedar con el

After years of taunting each other Pecador and I finally got to wrestle it out in a hotel room match in Fort Lauderdale. The wrestling started at the door and we didn’t come up for air until both of us were throughly exhausted. He’s a handsome strong wrestler and knows how to distract his opponent to get the upper hand. Great wrestler, and a good man. I highly recommend him for a great match and hope for a rematch soon.

WOW.... doesn't quite cover it. This guy is the real deal... smart, skilled, studly, and I found a name for him... he's a muscle tank... and tanks come in all sizes, but don't let his height fool you... He's a genuine powerhouse. He's also got a great heart...and soul. This is one quality man. I've already had a second match with him.... he's knows how to demonstrate his power... and he knows how to rein it in. There's a high compliment people give each other from where I come from.... "he's good company.... he's VERY good company". You'd be smart to seek him out, and you will NOT be disappointed.

I had a brief but excellent encounter with Socal. He has a wrestling background, which I don't, but I was able to overpower him with my size. It was fun! And I got him to do some gut punching with some MMA gloves we had bought. I was sore after, but it felt amazing. And I'm sure I left him sore too. hehe
