NorthnVa is a very strong intuitive wrestler. He was clearly out of my league which was a disappoint to me. If you expect to be competitive with him you need to be athletic, aggressive and skillful at either wrestling or martial arts. Expect to wrestle not play around.

Finally met this good man, and he was a great match. He also taught me a few tricks I will use on my upcoming opponents. This is the kind of meetup I've wanted, with match of strengths and wits, and exchange of ideas. Thanks Dan! I want more with you!

Ctrwash is a visitor from Washington State. I was fortunate enough to get a chance to meet and wrestle him earlier this week. He's an aggressive opponent who made me work to pin him in spite of his relatively nominal level to technical skills at my preferred form of wrestling, freestyle for pins.

He's also a gentleman and a pleasure to get to know. I encourage those of you who get a chance to meet him upon his return to Washington State to do so.

I'd also like to thank Spruceman for hosting the two of us.

He was my first match from the allfighters group. A nice guy and a pleasant host. His experience level and technique were better than mine. If I didn't have three inches and twenty pounds on him it would have been a one sided match.
