Profile of papin (20)

Very strong- I'm pretty sore today (the day after our match), having had to really struggle to lock him up in some holds. Very friendly, polite, right on time and easy to communicate with. Looking forward to the next match- and you should look forward to taking him on, too!

Had a great time with EastSider. He was a great host with a great space. He is a freestyle beast and so strong, and can use his experience to get you to tap. If you like free or good ground work and are in NYC you need to wrestle him!

Great time wrestling with this wrestler. Lots of fun rolling around with him and I highly recommend getting him on the mats. Looking forward to a rematch.

Chuck is an awesome opponent and host. Had a great and sweaty time rolling with him on his ideal mat setup. Went at it for almost 2 hours. Before and after he a great conversation. He knows his moves and adjusted his intensity to suit me. He is well built and very strong. Highest recommendation and look forward to grappling again!

Had a good impromptu match with Papin, a good sweat was built up. Fun and safe. But however he tried, he fell victim to the prosecution. Papin did learn during the match and that's important too. Nice, friendly opponent easy conversationist.

Had a great time wrestling this stud! He is really strong and has a vice like grip. He definitely schooled me and had me repeatedly tapping. Such a good guy and great conversationalist. I don’t box but he would be great boxing opponent too. Did tone it down a little for me but would not let me get too comfortable. Would definitely recommend and looking to roll again!

Had lots of fun wrestling Papin! He is a nice guy both on and off the mats! Great guy to have a conversation with and share many interests!
Lots of fun to wrestle and pin! He can take some long held holds and pins! Looking forward to a rematch and would recommend him to anyone who has the chance to take him on in a match!

Had a great time with liketowrestle, he was a gracious host, easy to set up a match with him last minute. Loved being squashed by him, by choice, but with his awesome physique probably would have been pinned down by him several times. Very cool to talk to. Highest Recommendation!!!

Rolled with Papin at his place, nice guy, wrestled,trades holds and chatted. If you are in the area check him out you will not be disappointed

Highly recommend Muleman. Had a great time with him. He has great stamina, knows his moves and how to use his height to his advantage and he is very easy on the eyes. Showed up on time and very personable. Had a great time and would wrestle again and again!

Got the chance to finally meet Papin on short notice, and I'd like to thank him for making the trip down to my ring room. He's a strong guy who's more into wrestling, and I'm more into boxing, but we found common ground and worked up a good sweat doing it. He's an intelligent and interesting guy and we both agreed that we'd like to meet again. Maybe next time we'll have the chance to get lunch after we meet. Highly recommended.

Had a great time with BoxerCoachinmd. Went at it for 90 minutes wrestling. He is very strong and great upper body strength. He was an awesome host and can’t wait to meet up again. Highly recommend and will fight again!

Before the match Papin constantly stayed in touch. During the match he presented a stout defense that was difficult to penetrate. Easy-going with a pleasant personality. Definite recommendation.

Had a great time wrestling Sam. He is in fantastic host and is in great shape and very muscular. Had a great time rolling with him, he is very strong, and overpowering. I can't wait to wrestle him again and can't recommend him enough.

Hai had an amazing time with this wrestler. Very skilled, and great fun on the mats. I hope to wrestle him again soon. Wrestle him if you get the chance.

Kevin is the real deal! Such a nice guy and great host. Knows his move and will tone it down to make sure you get on top. Easy and flexible to set match up with, can’t recommend enough, ever in Tampa? Meet up with him and Jeff!

Had a great time wrestling Demoman. Very strong big beefy guy who put me in his place. Great host and put me through my paces. Very knowledgeable and good guy off the mats. His pro/sub knowledge and size make him very tough but he will wrestle on your level and make sure you are having a good time.

He is strong and large enough that I thought at first I would be tapping like a woodpecker; it quickly became a coaching (nonetheless competitive) session ensued to help him add to his basic instincts against more than arm bars, sleepers, full nelsons real good.

He quickly picked up and employed the need to keep the arms close in and two-handed gripping fingers tucked in, among other things, including breakaway escapes --- my passing along things which Redlandguy taught me months ago.. By the end of the session, he was a better wrestler than when he arrived. That made me proud.

Here are the recommendations. He has good instincts, strong enough body, and skills to give you a good match. Take him on, and do what everyone should do for every relatively new opponent – Tell him when he's making himself vulnerable. Take a few minutes to show him a couple holds, moves, escapes, or other pointers, (as everyone has something unique to pass on and unique needs to be addressed.) Let him try them on you. Go for it. As with every one of my past opponents, he's welcome to return for encores.

Hey a great time with Spruceman, he was a great host, and super teacher. He is very fit and has a brutally strong grip. I wasn't much of a match for him he is too skilled. He has an awesome mat setup and encourage anyone to take advantage of it and him if they can travel there. In addition he is a very nice guy and has a strong appreciation and knowledge of the sport. Was mostly upper body match and he clearly had the strength, looking forward to rolling with him again.
