Nothing can be better than meeting this gorgeous guy on my trip and had a short and intensive match with him. Great body, proper techniques yet still can have fun with me. And also a great puncher too, enjoyed a lot the punching when we wrestle. Outside the mat, such a lovely guy with who it is easy and nice to talk. See you soon brother!

Newbieguy obviously isn’t very much of a newb, but changing usernames is too annoying of a process. He welcomed me into his place and we had fun wrestling around on his mats. He definitely had the upper hand but we adjusted for a chill match that I think we both enjoyed. We also had a lot of pleasant conversation to the point that I offered to help feng shui some things in his place. Totally recommend you lock up with this guy, maybe we’ll have a rematch sometime.

Where do I start. BadLad and his partner are incredible people and hosts. My time with both has been incredible and I'm looking forward into meeting them again. Huge guy who puts that thick body to good use. I was roughed up and bruised head to waist by the big guy while also feeling safe and wanting even more. Should you get the chance to spend some time with BadLad, consider yourself lucky and grab that opportunity. 11/10 guy. Can't wait to meet again soon!
Edit and update: August 2022: We met up again and he's definitely bringing me over what I thought were my limits and I'm learning new ones. Also, get your fists ready because there's a high chance yours will be sore before he will. Insanely tough guy had my fists sore for days after.

I have met nolor several times, and each match is a fun struggle. He's a tenacious guy, and I enjoy each time I meet him.

We had a number of matches on my resilite mats back when we both lived in Boston. He was always a competitive and tough submission grappler – and striker. All matches were hard fought. Looking forward to replicating that intensity now that we're both doing stand up.

Libdary's mucles are definitely not just for show, he throws solid punches, doubling me over joyful agony again and again, just to come back longing for more. My sore abs are a pleasant reminder of that.

And it doesn't happen often that I can go full throttle on sb's abs for a long session, while he just takes it. Next time when I am fit again I want to properly mishandle Libdray during a submission match as well. Looking forward to that.

Sometimes I go into a match knowing I’m going to get clobbered which is fine as long as I have a good time. It was clear from the outset YuSuFu was going to clobber me but boy did I have a good time. This guy not only has an impressive build, but a great personality and he’s a perfect gentlemen. We wrestle different styles but we were able to make the match work and have fun without getting hurt.
The guy is strong. Think strong and then multiply that by ten. He tossed me across the mattress effortlessly. It was awesome. I tried my be best to get a hold on him but between his strength and the size of his arms and his legs I just couldn’t do it. That said, we wrestled for a good hour or so and I kept going back for more. He used his weight advantage on me, but he knew how much pressure to apply to get me to submit without wrecking me.
YuSuFu is easy to communicate with. We set up the match with zero hiccups. He’s smart and funny and easy to get along with. And he looks like a young Rick Steiner in his black trunks and pro boots. Looking forward to wrestling and hanging out with him again.

Had the chance to meet playfulwrestler while he's in town we traded gutpunches with MMA gloves and boxing gloves. Let me tell you playfulwrestler can take a lot of them. I was legit sweating. He has solid ab muscles. Have a great chat with him to. Def looking forward to a second round!

Had an absolutely great gut punch session with Libertine. He can take punches astonishingly well, and he packs a lot of power when he gives them. We traded punches for an hour or so, and I’m sure he could have easily gone for another hour more.

We did a little bit of wrestling, and, of course, he crushed me. But it was fun. :)

It was also great talking to him afterwards; he gave me some great recommendations on what to see in Toronto.

Definitely looking forward to meeting Libertine again to do more punching!

I'd like to start with an apology - I thought I had not long after we met, & I'm incredibly embarrassed to only have noticed 13 months late. My sincere apologies, Shad.

Shad was incredible - I couldn't have asked for better.

Based on guidance from others, he & I chatted a lot. Unfortunately, our paths didn't cross for a long time. When a match seemed possible, I tried to be clear about my situation, circumstances, & desires. He was, too, & we agreed to meet.

I finally met Shad in Wellington. We met at my hotel & had a brief chat outside before heading in.

During the meeting, I emphasised comfort & consent. Shad was open and honest throughout. We changed into gear & started on our knees, grappling on carpet. Shad put up a remarkable defence, considering our different stats. I was fortunate to get the upper hand & enjoyed my success. My knee still bears the result of some unintended carpet burn - I've grown quite fond of it & the associated memories.

Between rounds, we took some time to catch our breath, check in with each other, & discuss life and wrestling.

Having learned the downside of carpet, Round 2 moved to a mattress, which allowed us to get more theatrical & physical with some pro-style moves. It was great for grappling, choke slams, bearhugs, a DDT (or 2), & pins, which again found me triumphant, celebrating a splayed Shad before a final 3-count pin.

Sadly, all good things come to an end, & after 2-3 hours, we thanked each other & parted ways. I rode a high for days after our match & haven't felt anything like it, since. He had all the attributes of a good opponent: reliable, safe, civil, communicative, open, competitive, understanding, & enthusiastic.

Again, I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the world of wrestling, & I hope I find myself 'in the ring' with Shad again. I highly recommend him to curious beginners & experienced veterans who have the opportunity. If Shad's available, don't miss the chance for a great match!
