Profile of Youngcub47 (113)

I knew when I was going to wrestle, I was going to be up for a challenge. But once you actually match up with him, you realize his calm, technical, and strong he really is. I couldn’t get a tap in, but kept going and had a great time wrestling this guy. Be prepared for a tough match up, but you’ll learn a lot and have a great time. Can’t wait to wrestle him again. Definitely recommend.

Santa María i took this stud on again and again and again you know that saying if first you don’t succeed try another hundred times yet it’s inevitable lol this guys is like a wrestling guru with super monk powers lol . Jokes aside the best I’ve ever encountered he was gracious to match my skill level really fun guy off the mats to hang with and after getting a beatdown like that I decided to have cupcakes to sweeten up the bitter loss lol . If you have a chance to wrestle him don’t pass it up I look forward to losing again but I will always come back for more unless you know I break a nail or something lol at any rate has the highest recommendation from me

Even though we only live about 30 minutes from each other, our first encounter wasn't until this past weekend in Chicago. We had a short but fun match. YoungCub is super strong and very very skilled. I'm excited to meet up again soon and gain some knowledge and technique from Sensei YoungCub XD

Youngcub is hands down one of the best wrestlers on this site. Don’t let his monk-like calmness fool you, this one is a beast. We matched up several years ago and reconnected this past weekend where he handled me just as easily as he did last time. Unbelievably strong and unparalleled skill, he’s one of those fighters who is always thinking and if you’re fortunate to slide out of his grip, he’ll simply move on to the next and tap you then. Off the mats he’s a smart, funny, chill dude with a passion for cupcakes and mat training anyone but me. Can’t wait for my next shot where I will surely suffer again.

Certainly one of the best wrestler ive encountered!

His on mats calmness illustrates he's got skills. There are alot of things I can learn from him. Would love to meet up again to have lesson from him!

PS: be aware of your joints. It will hurt when he touches.

Youngcub seems to be growing muscle on his body like trees grow leaves in Spring — naturally. His big and solid, not fat, and not a bodybuilder, but probably able to defeat guys outweighing him by 100lbs. His technique is beyond solid, his movements deliberate and unhurried. I did not stand a chance, but I had fun trying to sub him. His logical mind works like a well-oiled machine, his self-confidence is as strong as his bod. It takes a while to make him crack a smile, but it’s still easier than subbing him. Now it’s your turn to try, guys. You may not succeed, but you will have no regrets you tried.

Fun fact: I'm man enough to admit when I get my ass kicked. I got my my ass kicked over a three day wrestling weekend on my latest trip to Chicago by this incredibly strong, handsome, and skilled wrestler. You name the submission hold, he made me submit. Over and over, I would try to find a way to bring him down, and it just wasn't going to happen. Off the mats, down to earth, intelligent, funny, and just a great guy to hang out with over a few brews. Look forward to our next match or should I say my next beatdown from this amazing heel!!

Youngcub is certainly an experienced wrestler with tremendous strength and skill (dangerous combo). His grip strength is out of this world and he is able to counter essentially everything I attempted with ease. Fun, safe guy to wrestler with and his good recommendations to improve my wrestling skill. Awesome guy off the mat. If I'm in Detroit, I'll be sure to message him, and I hope to have a rematch with him if he heads back to Chicago.

With Youngcub I was clearly outskilled but that didn't matter to him (or me, really!). This master of the mats was so much fun to roll with. He was incredibly kind in showing me how to properly apply holds and how to counter. Very grateful for the lesson and maybe one day I'll be able to match him! Did I mention what a handsome guy he is? I honestly couldn't keep my eyes off of him! This is why I wrestle, to meet dudes like this, masculine, competitive and just terrific to be around. Huge recommendation!

My good buddy ChicagoPiledriver has an awesome Matt room and will often host wrestling afternoons at his place. Several other Graplers came into town and locals (7-8 of us) for some fun and Young Cub was one of them. I had the honor of being his first victim. I’m still sore while I write this LOL. Matt is Freakishly strong and skilled, and super nice guy. He (safely) controlled and manipulated me into multiple taps and toyed with me. Letting me out giving me the chance to counter and try to attack but to no avail. I later found out he’s the great, great, great grandson of Hercules. (Maybe add 10 more greats) I’m pretty sure not one wesrlter present was able to take him. He’s a Safe Heel to toss Jobbers around and will also happily convert other Heels to Jobber status. I look forward to his next visit to the Windy City. Highly recommended!

Awesome guy, kicked my ass

Lost a brief match with Youngcub47 at Thunderdome. He is strong and knowledgeable, and is always in control of himself, so I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their wrestling skills.

Looking forward to our next encounter.

I met Youngcub47 at Thunderdome this summer, so not only did a have the opportunity to wrestle him, I got to watch him wrestle a number of other guys. He is incredibly strong and skilled, but also very safe and sane. Were I to give him a wrestling name, I think it would be Atlas, as he has very broad shoulders that could carry the weight of the world, or at least some very large wrestlers.

I got to meet Jim at Thunderdome over the summer. I actually met some of his other friends from Maine before him and they had all good things to say so I had already been looking forward to when he got there. Sure enough once he did all of the things were confirmed! Strong and skilled and plenty of energy to keep going for days. He was one of the first wrestler to start at it each morning and always found energy for more as the day went on. Was a blast watching and wrestling with this guy! Looking forward to matching up with him again!

There are so many things that could be said about this guy that the testimonial could become annoying !...But the truth is this guy is one of the absolute best there are on this or any site . Simply great at every level and technique and incredibly safe and sane . He has an extensive repertoire of holds and can get you from every position . In the process he made me a better wrestler . Can’t thank him enough and despite me being no match I hope I was able to give him some fun!.... highest recommendation possible !....

This guy is very passionate both on and off the mats. Very fun to be around and has a very good sense for positioning in a match. His back defense was one of the hardest to crack and made me come up with some interesting ways to counter it which will be fun to add to my future matches hehe. All in all a great experience and I recommend wrestling him if you ever get the chance!

I thought Youngcub47 was a cyborg or superhero watching him wrestle at Thunderdome, but then the on-mats pause button was hit or we were off the mats and the charming, respectful, jolly, fun-loving personality shone through and I was blown away.

What a man! Young, rock-solid strong, marathon-stamina, skilled at such an advanced level that every roll for him is an opportunity to lovingly teach his opponent something new. He is totally addicted to rolling with anyone period. And consequently one becomes addicted to him.

Thanks for the rolls, M. Is today too soon to go again?

Met this fine gentleman at Thunderdome and am very glad I did. Had a great time rolling with him and giving him a few pointers on his technique when he asked for them. Also had a great time hanging out and talking with him over the rest of the event. One of the nicest guys I've met and helped to make the entire event much more memorable. And to answer the question you put in your recommendation M you know I'm always ready :)

Sometimes in these recommendations you will see people comment something like: "get this guy now before he becomes a real terror on the mats". I had wrestled YoungCub47 in 2013, I think. He
was very good. I was younger. Now it is 2018 and he is an awesome grappler. I am older now. I couldn't beat him then and I really can't beat him now. He is simply one of the best wrestlers I have wrestled. And I've been wrestling since the late 1990's. If you get a chance for a match absolutely go for it. And he's just as nice and almost as humble as he used to be. WOW !!

I've only been to a couple of group wrestling events yet one of the highlights of both of em was getting to meet this guy. He might have "jobber" in his name but that's definitely a choice on his part for most people. He's a big guy and has strength to match and learns from his mistakes quickly. Add in a great personality and he becomes a great person to hang out and wrestle with at any event. Very happy I could meet him at Wrestlefest and then again at Thunderdome.

Had some tag action with Youngcub while at Thunderdome. Seriously strong guy...he was the talk of the event! Luckily the strength comes with a great personality and no attitude. Was very happy to have finally crossed paths with this guy. Hope to meet again...

Finally got to meet this guy at Thunderdome in MA and very glad I did! His pics don't do him justice, quite the muscle stud and a fun guy all around! Had a great time wrestling with and against him and his tag partner different matches at the event. Looking forward to getting some one on one match time with this guy to get to know him even better. Definitely recommended!

This guy is a handful. Thorough Headscissor and Sleeper/Choke punishment doled out continuously......no mercy. Remains cocky and calm throughout the match, just smiling as you come to with strong legs ready to go to work againon your head/neck..Will always make time for a match with this Punk!

This guy is by far one of my favorite people to grapple with on here. He's got a high abuse tolerance and can (almost) dish it out as well as he takes it. For those that love a long, intense and fun match this is definitely the guy to see. Can't wait for whenever we line up the next of many rematches!

One of the strongest guys I've found on here by far. Can easily see how he bulldozes through most people and had a blast figuring out how to stop it. Tough, smart and a nice guy off the mats. A great guy all around and I can't wait to get as much mat time as possible with this tank of a man in the future!

He is a great skilled and strong wrestler
He is by far one of the better wrestlers around
He is patient strong and a beast to try to make tap
He is a great guy off the mats too
Do not miss the opportunity to wrestle him if you get the chance

Had talked to this guy for forever and finally managed to line up a time that he could come down and wrestle with me! Pound for pound one of the strongest guys I've found on here and has a great personality to match it! Had a blast wrestling with him and trading holds/lifts after the match was over! Can't wait to return the favor whenever I can get over to Toronto to see him!

I had the pleasure of wrestling this man at Thunderdome. He is skilled and kicked my ass. I enjoyed every minute of it and it made me want to wrestle him more. We wrestled 1on1 and had a few tag matches as well. Can't say enough good things about this guy. Good man on and off the mats.

After many years of conversations I finally got a chance to wrestle this tank of a wrestler at thunderdome. Had a blast with both the 1 on 1's and the various tag team matches! He's strong as hell and has quite a working knowledge of sub, couldn't afford to take it easy on this guy at all! Definitely recommended and can't wait to finally go visit him in Chicago when I get a chance!

Rhis was a great guu to wrestle!!! Quite the challenge. Incredibly strong and skilled. Got me to tap alot quicker than anyone else has!!! Was funn to watch him wrestle others as well!

Got to meet this guy at thunderdome and had a blast wrestling him and rocrassler. This guy's a lot stronger than his stats would lead you to believe and quite a stubborn one to trap! Looking forward to wrestling more with him in the future

Youngcub47 is very strong and quick and will wear you down. We wrestled at an event in April 2013. Did not know anything about this guy other that what I've heard from a good wrestling friend of mine. He has become a very good close personal friend of mine. I am planning a springtime trip in 2014 to wrestle him again and maybe get more aggressive with him!!!

One of the guys I was lucky enough to meet at my first wrestlefest I was able to attend in PA. A great guy on and off the mats, and quite a lot of strength to back up his pics. Had a fun time hanging out with him throughout the event and was happy to help him find out what it was like being the guy picked up instead of the one still on the ground. Definitely recommended

Met youngcub47 at wrestlefest and he is a strong/skilled wrestler. We went at it 2 times. Great wrestler on the mats and off.

Managed to meet this guy at my only trip to wrestlefest in PA to date so far. Got to wrestle him a couple of times over the course of the event and had a great time doing so as well as watching him wrestle some of the other guys there! A very nice guy all around and looking forward to whenever we manage to meet up again!

Be sure to bring your A game when you tangle with this guy. Very skilled and even more intelligent. I like to think that I made him work for his victory, but his Zen-like approach to the sport has me thinking and wondering if and whether. Clearly one of the coolest guys I've ever met, wise beyond his years. Safe travels, sir.

Now, this rule has been true since I was a kid but for whatever reason people that deal with music in a professional sense just seem to be way stronger pound for pound than I would expect. And given that he matches me pound for pound and I was already expecting a tough match it was even more surprising when he still surprised me! Plenty of strength, endurance, and skill all around in this guy and I had a great time rolling with him on several occasions! For those curious he also makes a badass chili if you're ever lucky enough to try it. All around can't recommend this guy enough and I hope you get a chance to take him on!

This young man has no real formal grappling education. Yet he pretty much owned me on the mats. Powerful and well skilled. He memic my style with more power and skills that eventually put an end to my attemps to make him tap. I gave him a good workout but made him work hard for the victory. I respect and hate his wrist attacks. Smal joint manipulation. Very nice guy. I hope to roll with again. What a beast. Again.I hate his wrist bends. I tapped mostly to those.

Took me a while to get around to writing this recommendation but it is definitely well deserved! One of the strongest and hardest to catch guys I've encountered on here! We had very similar styles so it was fun to come up with ways to counter myself. Got the chance to get another match in with this beast at Thunderdome and showed him I can do quite a bit more than just wrist-locks this go around hehe :) Loved hanging out with this guy on and off the mats, always something to add to both experiences! Couple all of the compliments with the mad jealousy I have of his palace-like tent he brought to the event and you can begin to see the respect I have for this guy. Highly recommended to any brave enough to take him on :)

Really fun and strong guy. One of my toughest matches on here. Definitely recommended. Easy to make plans with and reliable. He taught me some moves too.

To be honest I almost made the mistake of underestimating this beast. He's much stronger than I was expecting with quite a bit of experience to back it up. Had to work quite hard to make up for my near mistake but had an amazing time doing it! Love finding guys I can cut loose with a bit and he's definitely one of em! Highly recommended for a tough and fun match

If you want a tough challenge with a strong, tough submission wrestler, Youngcub47 is your man. Definitely took me to my limits. Although he shows no mercy on the mats, he's a hell of a nice guy, respectful of limits and someone I hope to wrestle again and again.

Was very happy I could get a match in with this guy on my only trip to Denver so far. Much stronger than I was expecting and a very solid understanding of submission grappling to back it up! Had a great match with him and lots of fun talking with him before, after and during it! Highly recommended if you ever find yourself in CO!

A great guy and an awesome wrestler! He's big, strong, skilled (self-taught!), very fit, and a friendly. I really had no chance against him, but I didn't worry about injury or too much aggression – he's totally safe, sane, and controlled.
It was easy to schedule the match with him, he showed up as planned, and he's a very nice guy and easy to converse with and hang out with. I hope he'll come back to Denver for a rematch soon!

I had been looking forward to wrestling this guy for a long time. Finally got the chance to while visiting for my friends wedding and couldn't be happier I did! Can easily see how he's earned such a great reputation as a wrestler and a friend. Had a nice long and sweaty match in his awesome basement setup which was a blast!

His hospitality definitely did not end after the match was over either. After the wedding I came back over and he took me on a tour of Denver and over to the most beautiful concert hall I've seen to date! An amazing guy all around and can't wait to get back to Denver to see him again!

I had been looking forward to wrestling this stud for a while, and during a road trip to the midwest this past summer we managed to find some time for a quick match. He was super accommodating and patient with a relative beginner like myself. He's definitely one of the more skilled wrestlers on the site, and you'll have your hands full trying to get out of his moves. Only regret is not having more time for a rematch.

If you're anywhere near the midwest, youngcub47 is defintely worth the detour.

Was very happy to catch this guy while he was on a road trip near my area! Didn't have too much time to wrestle but had a great experience in the time we had! He learns from his mistakes and it'll be fun to see what he learns as he gets more matches! Looking forward to when our paths cross again

Holy fuck what an amazing fighter. Youngcub47 is one of the very best natural wrestlers I've ever had the pleasure to meet. He's like a dancer that roles you into holds that you can't escape. Yet he knows how to gage his opponent and is 100 percent in tune with what's going on in the match. It was a great time wrestling him that unfortunately ended to soon. I would jump at the chance of fighting this man again. On a scale of 1 to 10 he's a 12☆ The highest recommendation.

Now this is one amazing guy and I can't recommend him enough. Have never had someone drive several hundred miles just to meet me at Joe's for a few hours of wrestling! Had a great match with him, strong and solid all around with quite a bit of skill to back it up. Can't thank him enough for taking the time to be able to meet me like that and also can't wait to give him a long enough match to show that appreciation! Don't pass up a chance to meet this guy if you get one!

This guy is the real deal folks... Talented and strong I never stood a chance... but he was easily able to adapt to my skill set to give me a challenging, fun and most importantly a safe match!

Finally got a chance to meet this guy while visiting Joe's place in MA. Had a great time wrestling with him and a few other guys that showed up for some rolling. He looks pretty strong in his pics and they don't lie at all. Good all around strength and endurance, rolled with him and another guy for a couple of hours and had a blast doing it. Looking forward to more rematches in the future :)

What a man. He may be a "youngcub" but this is one of the strongest guys i have ever wrestled. Add in the fact that he knows how to apply sub holds and you have an awesome combo. He is unassuming and nice off the mats but don't be fooled :) Once he locks his massive arms or legs around you, he is in control.

Check this guy out if in his area or if he is in yours

Managed to catch this guy on one of his chance visits to Detroit and glad I did. A very nice guy off the mats and a fun guy to trade holds with on em! He's got a nice solid build and knows how to use it while still keeping it fun!

Had a great time with Youngcub47. He is very strong and a great wrestler and had no problem putting me in all kinds of moves and holds. He even taught me a few moves as well. He is a very nice guy and am planning to get more wrestling experience and have a rematch!

This guy's pictures don't lie. He looks like a tank and wrestles like one too. Very strong all around and a pleasure on and off the mats. Looking forward to seeing what tricks he learns as he gains more experience! Definitely recommended!

This guy is so cool and calm that you think you might be able to catch him off guard. But then you quickly realize that he is already 5 steps ahead of you. By that point you have already lost. He’s smart and super strong. I’ll get him next time.

Was pleastantly surprised to get a match with this guy one of my previous trips to Boston. He was introduced to me by a good friend and ended up being a fun time all around. He's one of the few people that figured out how to transfer running endurance over to wrestling endurance. It was fun having a longer match without many breaks and seeing how he adapted to the things I was doing. Will be looking forward to this promised "next time" hehe.

What an awesome guy. Very strong and skilled yet safe and very careful. A great teacher too. We had a fun match and hope to meet again. My highest recommendation

I have managed to miss this guy even though he's made several trips to Detroit and finally we managed to meet in a state that neither of us lives lol. Sucks that it took so long but very glad we finally met! His pictures don't do him justice, he's quite a bit stronger than I was expecting which was a pleasant surprise! All in all had a great time meeting him at Thunderdome and am looking forward to future matches

This one knows his stuff. A great wrestler and grappler. Highly recommended for serious mat time.

A skilled grappler, and improving all the time. Definitely a good roll for anyone wanting to improve or practice their bjj skills, and has a great mat setup to do it on too.

Awesome, handsome, incredibly strong, young man. I HATE to admit he is the only man ive wrestled in 25 yrs. that i couldnt submit or overpower. But it keeps me humble. ;-) we had a great time and I hope to become regular wrestling buddies.

Have been looking forward to this match for a long time, and this guy did not disappoint in anyway. Nice guy on and off the mats and a great wrestler. Looking forward to the many rematches to come.

I had a fantastic time with Youngcub47! He is an awesome guy both on and off the mats! Our first meeting was a total blast, we wrestled, played, practiced, and exchanged ideas for almost SIX HOURS! I highly recommend a match with Youngcub47 if you have the opportunity! He is fun, skilled, strong, safe, sane and respectful both on and off the mats! There are many more re matches for me and Youngcub47 in the future! Youngcub47 is the real deal! Liketowrestle!

Liketowrestle is one of the best wrestlers I've met since joining. Strong and skilled and a great guy on and off the mats. Can't wait to meet up with him again!

I had the pleasure of wrestling Youngcub47 this past wknd at Wrestlefest in PA. Had an awesome privilege to take him on. He is strong, skilled with plenty of stamina to take whatever you throw at him on the mats. Had a great time with him on and off the mats, looking forward to our rematch. I highly recommend him!

Had a great time meeting Rusnak at wrestlefest in april and once more durring the summer! Teally fun guy to hang with both on and off the mats. Definitely knows what he's doing and has the strength/balance to back it up, will be a lot of fun to see how our future rematches will go!

As you can see in my profile I have wrestled all kinds of guys but never had one pick me up and turn me upside down over his head......until NOW! Youngcub47 is big, strong, and knows how to wrestle and will even chuckle while working you over. I tried to get him in a hold but nothing worked. He is a "jobber's" dream and a good match if you want a competative contest. But don't let his boy next door looks fool you..this guy KNOWS his stuff! Had a great time getting my behind whipped by him.

Really fun guy to wrestle, quite the energetic jobber for all of you heels out there, can take quite a bit of punishment and bounces right back for more! Can't wait to toss him around some again :)

Strong as an Ox, good skills and tons of fun wrestling. I am looking forward to wrestle him again

Had a great time wrestling with him, crazy strong guy and definitely knows what he's doing, can't wait to go at it again!
