we faced off recently on the mats and though we was both a bit tired this man still oozes power and twin that with his skill hes a man who is a tough opponent on the mats.
He makes sure that you are always having to work and defend yourself against him and you cant drop your guard for even a second as he will take advantage pf it and you will be in trouble
Safe and sane guy and a definite good one to meet so i would say if you get the chance meet him, I'm looking for a rematch

He was just starting to wrestle some years back when I was in St Louis, but had great instincts, was totally fun, very handsome and great body, good fit to wrestle...by now he is experienced and ready to kick butt:-)

Recommend!

Fun guy, we had a good time back and forth...nice bod, good personality, knows how to have fun..he jobs, but knows wrestling...recommend!

JeepinIL was a great host and a fun match. We got a chance to wrestle after years of trying to set up a match when I was driving through Rockford for work. I hope our schedules can match again in the future.

Nice, reliable and strong guy. He is highly recommended!

Luttesympa est un lutteur très agréable pour lutter avec beaucoup de respect, plein de détermination et de motivation avec le souci de s'améliorer toujours . Il est vraiment dans le partage , il m'a montré une ou deux prises. C'est vraiment sympa de lutter avec et toujours agréable de le retrouver (on est à notre 3 ou 4 ème rencontre je pense). j'ai vraiment hâte de le retrouver et de lutter contre dans un espace plus spacieux. Après la lutte, prendre un verre ou partager un repas avec lui reste un moment très sympa tique, car il est trsè intéressant bien expérimenté avec beaucoup de centres d’intérêts et de culture. A très vite cher ami.

Je me suis déplacé un dimanche (le 22/01/2018 : oui je sais ça fait plus qu'un mois, j'ai honte) bien pluvieux chez Alain ou plutôt The Godfather francillien de meetfighters. Eh ben tellement cette rencontre était au delà de mes attentes que ça m' a pris tout ce temps pour rédiger une recommandation . Je me disais que vais je rajouter, moi le petit novice ? tout a été déjà dit et ce n'est jamais assez pour décrire Alain et le plaisir de lutter contre Alain - pour mon cas apprendre de chez Alain. Alain s'est déplacé me chercher à la gare. Une personne bien zen , qui inspire beaucoup de confiance, bienveillant et bien accueillant. Chez lui, un garage assez spacieux, bien équipé et exclusivement dédié à la lutte. La modestie et l'expérience d'Alain m'ont bcp motivé pour se donner à fond et être très attentif à ses instructions. Après une petite séance d'échauffement (eh oui car Alain t'apprends même comment s'échauffer et comment récupérer après), on a lutté pendant presque deux heures. Au cours de ces deux heures, Alain avec plein de pédagogie m'a montré beaucoup de prises, des sorties de prises aussi et ceci avec des répétitions statiques pour chaque prise avec beaucoup de patience mais surtout beaucoup de force. Il s'agit d'un homme bien fort, bien costaud ( au niveau des cuisses , des bras , et surtout les épaules). Avec lui s'est tellement agréable de se surpasser, de se comparer de prolonger les prises. Pas mal de fois , je prolonge le moment (bien bloqué par une clé ou ciseaux de cuisses) juste pour l'honorer. Après le combat, la discussion et l'échange avec Alain sont tellement agréables et enrichissants. Une personne bien cultivé, très intéressante. Personnellement, se fut un grand moment de plaisir. je n'ai qu'un seul souhait c'est de le retrouver rapidement et assez souvent : car il a encore beaucoup beaucoup de choses à m'apprendre, je veux passer du mode statique en mode dynamique, aussi connaître plus cette personne et pourquoi pas gagner son amitié. Je n'ai jamais autant savouré des courbatures , qui ont duré 3 jours ;p
Hâte de répéter l'expérience.

I had a fun match with this cool guy

It took us several months to meet, but this time we could meet for one hour so we played a wrestling match

He was very considerate to me and arranged accommodations for me when I was busy

When wrestling with him at Matt, he was immature for not having much wrestling experience, but he had a different tenacity, stamina and guts.
So he left me with another defeat on the mat

He is a good man and a good opponent. If you have a chance to see him, be sure to see him.

Had a great session with this incredible muscular behemoth of the mats! This guy is very impressive indeed physically - he seems even bigger and more muscled in the flesh than even in his pics. And....oh yes....all that muscle means he has devastating strength! When he bulls forward there is no stopping him. His weight, strength and speed (...yes speed too!) mean that you had better have first class defense or be happy to work from underneath cos that is where you will end up!
Oli has terrific energy and drive supplementing his immense physical assets. We had some great bursts of competitive stuff and spent a good while working on exchanging holds and trying things out. I showed him some of the things I have been learning at BJJ lessons - particularly submissions available from side-control. And he picked up everything with murderous efficiency! We also did some promission stuff and to my complete amazement I discovered that this hugely developed physique of his can bend to an extraordinary degree and.......he just won't submit. I must have had him in my camel for about 7 minutes in total, cranked back at an angle that would have broken most guys. But all he did was growl threateningly. I did eventually extract a submission but it was hard work. Having bent him severely like that I thought it was the right moment to immediately turn him into my full crab. I have never known a guy this insanely strong and muscular be able to bend so much and endure the fully sat and cranked Boston which I inflicted expecting a prompt submission. His back is incredible! I pulled him way up and back....he growled back at me and refused to tap for a long time.
At all times a safe and fun opponent who can go full-on or do give n take stuff. My greatest moment was actually being able to rack him! Lifting a man that size onto my shoulders was an effort...but he would not submit from that - I just could not bend him enough! (Very rare!!)
You had better meet this guy soon. Because as he learns more skills on the mats he is going to be become an unconquerable animal who will crush, bend and destroy anyone who steps onto the mats with him. Though you will probably enjoy it. Yes....highly recommended!
