Competing at 60


Hitting the big 60


Fetish fight club

To my shock and dismay I had a link come up on my facebook via BJJ underground. A group to which a number of my UK, US and Singapore BJJ friends belong.
A site called Vice has done a video of new group in the UK called fetish fight club. In the Vice article is refers to this site as a Gay wrestling site.
I would like to point out that a number of people have contacted me very concerned that this has been done and then linked to sites outside of meetfighters. They are very discreet people and are considering leaving the site. I don't care that this Fetish club has started but the impression it has left about meetfighters, I consider to be very extremely damaging.

Check the link Video.vice.com Posted 20.33 on 19 Dec. Last night when I first checked looked it already had 6500 negative comments. Lunchtime on 20th its now at 8500.

It took me a long time to feel confident enough to post face pictures here and now I find myself looking to delete them. In the mean time I have moved all pix to Members only.

I would like to point out to the individuals in the video that this is the official text posted on the meetfighters site:

MeetFighters.com is a social network and personals site for people who share an interest in anything related to wrestling, fighting or the people who do it. Our intention is to let people meet and get to know each other.

Who are we?

MeetFighters.com has no corporate owner or commercial interest behind it. We are a site run by enthusiast and supported by donations from our members. The volunteers who run the site simply love to meet fellow wrestlers and fighters and want to create a forum for likeminded people.

What do we offer?

We give you a place to meet others who share our interest. We offer all core features for free. All we ask in return is you be cool, respect others and obey our very simple and straightforward Terms of Service.

Hopefully the article can be removed but i fear its all a little to late.

Leaving the UK

So a big life style change and move is coming. 25 June I depart the UK for a new job and life based in Singapore but looking after the Asia Pacific region for my new employer. Exciting but also very emotional at the same time. I've wrestled plenty of guys in the region so plan to try and continue wrestling when I can but I leave behind some awesome guys in the UK that I have just had a blast teaching, having fun times with or occasionally having my ass handed to me (but rarely lol).
I am not going to mention lots of guys by name as there are so many in the UK but I would like to mention.
Musclneck. Bill or pop's as I like to call him is a legend. I could sit and talk to him about wrestling all day but once he has his gear on I just want to wrestle. Had the privilege of wrestling at his place many times and was please to be at his 70th birthday this year.

Jay219. I think our recommendation is probably more like a history book rather than a "he was safe sane and a good wrestler".
First met 4 years ago. I remember him looking terrified when i turned up but we soon hit the mats and his confidence came out.. Young and hot but also a quick learner. Our meets have been regular ever since and eventually taking up bjj together and both achieving blue belt last week. Si has become a very special person in my life that no one will ever replace. Having shared many fun, emotional,challenging and erotic times together I feel gifted to have discovered him. A couple of BJJ classes left but more importantly our last match alone in speedos is scheduled for this Saturday. It's going to be intense and emotional at the same time.
I'll be back and I know he'll be waiting, bigger, better and ready to kick my ass.

Will be in London Saturday and would be great if anyone is around and wants to joins us for a beer in the early evening. I'll let you know where in a day or so.

Cheers and keep the UK as the best place for wrestling.
