For the longest time, I joked this guy was my end boss. Like the final boss in a video game. If I could stand and take his hits, I would be proud and call it a win.

So when the stars finally aligned and we met, I can finally say. This man is truly an end boss.

First his photos do NOT do him justice. This guy has muscle on muscle, and is a LOT bigger than his photos show.

Second, he knows how to hit, he knows how to throw a punch, and he knows how to make each hit count. He will have you gasping for air before you even realized what happened.

Final, if it wasn't for work (and other home duties unfortunately) I would have never have left. If you want the real deal, a amazing power house, and a pretty chill guy all around? Hit up this guy.

He can't disappoint

We had a great fight. He has a fit body and muscular arms which made it hard to choke him and tap him out. He did a few holds on me and he enjoyed every second of it.

Beastboy is a keen wrestler and puts up a good fight. He is strong and has strong arms and legs. His size gives him an advantage. We tried submission, grappling and give and take. He is a nice guy and reliable. I recommend a match with him and I would wrestle again.

Update:
I've been able to meet with Joe a good bit over the past few years and each time is so just as fun as the last. I'm afraid he has gotten a little better, beefier, and stronger. The only downside is we don't live closer.

Had a meet-up with JW today... and it was well worth the wait. As others mentioned, friendly, easy to communicate, and not easy to submit. He was giving up significant weight, but he has the strength of someone much larger. He got my legs caught up a few times, including one sub - which others (almost twice his size) haven’t been able to do. Friendly, fun, tough, handsome, and highly recommended.

Met the Moose a few years ago when I was a regular in Seattle. My experience vs the power house. Awesome guy with immense strength yet both safe and sane on the mats. Had to be on my best game but have to say it was one match i will remember. Hope our paths cross again some day. 10/10

Muy buen flaco, respetuoso, buena persona , recomendable para entrenar, si bien su base es el tkd hizo frente con lo que pudo a la lucha de submission, espero un próximo encuentro.

Excelente luchador, generoso al compartir muchas de sus técnicas. Es muy fuerte.
Estoy seguro que podré vencerlo en alguna próxima oportunidad.
Fuera de la lucha es una persona muy agradable

Met LateAgain a while back. He made a Herculean effort to be in London for a small group meet, having travelled overnight from Scotland en route to the south coast. So no issues with reliability!

I was impressed with his attacking skills, and outside of the ring he's a great conversationalist too. A thoroughly nice guy, and it's great to see him back here. I'd happily meet him again, but I guess the greatest recommendation of all comes from the numerous attendees to the group meets that he organises in Manchester. If only I lived closer...

It was a ton of fun getting to meet throw and grapple! He’s very knowledgeable and willing/ able to help a beginner out! Very strong, skilled, and knows how to put you on your back! Looking forward to hitting the mats again!!

March 2021 Update:
RVJ is a complete gentleman... outside the ring. With Covid-19 still raging, he agreed to meet me before our match for a professionally administered coronavirus test. The rules: test negative and the bout is on. In good health, we then rolled in Orlando’s private ring for almost two hours. This man is skilled and athletic. Within 15 minutes of climbing through the ropes, RVJ had me out of breath, seeing stars, and sweating buckets- so much that the ring canvas became as slippery as an ice skating rink. I again recommend this considerate grappler.

Pound for pound, RJV is a tough competitor. Yet, he’s also a compassionate instructor. My match with this tough man was a comfortable experience: from the pre-fight communication to the match itself. Looking forward to the rematch!
