Really nice and genuine bloke. Bit of a bodybuilder and very strong. Love to meet and wrestle again

in un match con Mat74 anche se si è in vantaggio, è meglio non dare nulla per scontato, è tecnico e forte ed è capace di ribaltare situazioni sfavorevoli in vittorie. Ottimo lottatore da incontrare

Great body and great endurance, guy can take plenty of punishment and serve it right back if you give him an opening. Sexy and fun and just great to hang with too, can't wait to get my hands on him again.

== PREFACE ==
First, let me say that I almost gave an "Incivil/Bad Manners" recommendation here because I found out that if this man pours a beer HE WILL NOT WAIT FOR YOU TO START DRINKING IT. [>_<]

Buuuut considering that he met me at the train station, walked me to his home, made some damn good scrambled eggs, and was generally a wonderful human being... I'll let this pass (don't make it a habit!).

== OFF THE MAT STUFF ==
So I'm heading out on vacation and I get in touch with this guy since I know I'll be flying by and we plan for me to stop by and get a roll in.

Well, a few months + a plane, another plane, a train, and some hilarious travel stories, we meet each other full of excitement. It's great.

Before the match, we're all over the place talking about everything and he's super sweet. We eat a bit and I take a shower and we finally get to the fighting part. Prior to this meeting, I explain that one of my defense mechanisms is being very charming. He says he's going to ignore that and destroy me.

Spoiler alert: he fails miserably.

I tried to throw in some piano, too, but it was hard to remember the one song I tried to play. I'll work on that later.

== THE FIGHTING PART ==
Something about the moment where you realize the fight is happening gives you a rush. Well, it does for me, and this was no exception. The comment of "I thought you were tired" was a highlight. Skill-wise, it was tons of BJJ on his end versus an odd knack for defense on mine. We were surprisingly even for the most part. I got a tap out of the deal via grapevine (not to worry, he got payback).

He is every bit as built as these photos suggest and he has some skill to go with it. My fair bit of nervousness (read as: a slight bit of terror) helped in keeping me focused which you have to be if you're fighting this guy because you will get wrecked if you don't pay attention to him every second. He introduced some impact stuff, too, which was so much fun. I wasn't expecting it, but I enjoyed it a lot. I need to make that a regular thing.

== AT THE END ==
Man, I didn't want to leave. I'm actually going to have to vacation here so we can roll some more, but I don't think I can overstate how much I enjoyed this trip and I would do the whole thing again without a second thought.

5/5, 10/10, would do a lot.

He is good skilled in submission and grappling, really good technique and good oppponent. I met him 2 years ago and also now, he did a lot of progress, really compact body with 60 kg of energy.
Cool guy in the mat and outside, enjoyable and want to have Match for hours, really good endurance

Very nice opponent : strong, well built and highly motivated by a long and sweaty fight. We had a lot of fun wrestling together and no doubt he will become soon a very tough opponent, with more technical background. He is also a very nice guy to talk to. Can t wait to see him for our next skiing week in the Alpes !

Grappler fort sympathique et décidé. Le face à face était attendu depuis longtemps, il fut à la hauteur des espoirs : Gérald est un adversaire qui connaît son affaire, physiquement très agréable à attraper, endurant, technique si besoin, qui aime la confrontation et les longs corps à corps, particulièrement attentif à son adversaire. Le moment fut particulièrement intense et erotique. Un véritable plaisir.

Had a great time with Luke! It is nice to meet up with another lightweight! He's a fast learner and I had a fun time.

Technically far better wrestler than me and knows it. He knows how to tease you with his skills and yet fun to be with. Looking forward to our next meet.
Great guy.

Tyler is a cool guy, slim but strong. So sweet, really want to meet up again in the future. His partner is also cool, despite the weight challenge, we past a good time together. Highly recommended !
