Profile of ruffnhard (57)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
This is one of the toughest fight I have encountered recently. Ruffnhard really lives up to his name. Fabulous built, limitless strength & stamina. He has a bodybuilder's body with all the firm muscles. Once you have caught in his headlocks or body scissors, the chance of escaping without tapping is very rare. However, thanks to my training, I managed to escape most of his locks but unfortunately I still have missed few.

The match was so intensive until we both lost count of our scores - but I'm sure Ruffnhard made me tapped more than I made him. He turned out to be a better man in this match.

Don't miss the chance to meet ruffnhard if he sent you a challenge / or if you visit Sydney. He is one of those wrestlers that can give you a tough fight.

After many years of chatting with this fighter we finally met, and he was everything I expected him to be.
Quick, well skilled, and very very keen to keep the match going as long as possible.
A high tolerence for pain, combined with being very sweaty (as am I) made it a challenge to keep him in a hold and make it count.
Was a nice strong match, occasionally having to reset the action due to the size of the room not quite matching the size of this fighters spirit and enthusiasm!

Recommended to meet for those who like a serious, sweaty match if you are ever in the same location.

Easy going and flexible to arrange. Long fun match , although He dominated me, but I also made him sweaty a lot. Hopefully next time can learn some skills and movement from him!

This guy is not a pocket rocket… he is a pocket guided missile with nuclear warhead!!!
He has a natural instinct for fight, great strength, and endures a high level of pain. I truly believe he will make short work of anyone in or around his own weight division…thankfully I had 25kg on him and I needed every kg of it to control him!
Can’t wait for a rematch!

This meeting was epic! So happy and glad that I finally had the chance to meet and wrestle this muscle bull! He has one if not the best body I have ever seen so far, his strength is impressive and his wrestling moveset is stunning...with a big break in between, we wrestled over 3 great hours and it was just amazing :) Besides his wrestling abilities his brilliant shape and a huge set of speedos, he is such a nice person, helpful, open-minded and so on :) In addition to that, organizing the match was very easy and he took a lot of effort to meet me! I really hope I didn't disappoint him :) Since we already agreed on at least one rematch, he enjoyed it as well I guess ;)

I met this enthusiastic wrestler while he was staying in Oz from Germany.
A solid beefy lad with plenty of energy to keep bouncing back for more!
We wrestled up a good sweat for a few hours before taking a break for lunch to replenish the energy, then he was keen and all fired up to go for it again.
Takes plenty of punishment and does not tap till absolutely necessary… so much so that a few times I released the hold cause I didn’t think pushing it further would be a good idea!
A very keen fighter, easy to set up, and put in the effort to travel a few hours via public transport to make it happen… add to that his interesting and easy going conversation and he gets a full recommendation from me!

The photo's don't lie, ruffnhard is very well built. He used his size to good effect, l lost count how many submissions l had to give :)

Great guy to wrestle, very safe and very good company for a rainy afternoon in Sydney.

Don't miss him on your trip down under!

Spent a fun rainy afternoon with this fighter on one of his trips to Oz.
A solid build and Scottish accent made for both a great wrestle and an interesting conversation.
Recommended for a good time on the mats and off.

When you first lay eyes on Ruffnhard, you know you're in for a serious tussle. But don't let his size be a deterrant. He adapts to your level so you both have a fun experience. But saying that, I stood no chance and was constantly needing to tap. He is also a great teacher giving me plenty advice to help me grow as a fighter. It was good to make the big man tap but we both know he kind of let me have those small victories.

Ruffnhard is a genuinely top bloke. I had a blast and I'm sure anyone who has a battle with this man will have a great time too.

Firstly, don't let his pics fool you, Tripolar is deceptively strong for his size
He has great stamina and just keeps coming back for more, I think he could have fought all day and into the night (which he actually did by following our match with another!)
Quick to learn and keen to apply new moves he will be quite a force with some experience under his belt.... P.S. I think he has found quite a taste for punching judging by the evil glint in his eye while he pounded away on me (That glint soon disappeared when I gave him a little taste of his own medicine!)
Very easy to set a match up with, his sense fun and a great fighting spirit leaves me looking forward to a rematch... Highly recommended!

I met ruffandhard so early after starting wrestling. He was nice enough to agree to meet me despite that. Had a great and fun session with him. This is one strong guy. Probably one of the strongest in Aus on this site. He just goes in for the grab and uses his power and weight very effectively. Made me submit so many times. It was fun though and I enjoyed the fact that I was able to take quite some pain. I was later able to give more resistance and also get a few moves on him. He taught me quite a bit. I will definitely meet him more in the future. When he wrestles can feel he is serious about getting a submission and won't let go easy. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to wrestle better. He is also very safe. Had the place setup with safety in mind and was always considerate of my limits.

mmgg is a very keen wrestler, easy to set up a match with, and puts up a good struggle.
He has good upper body strength and a strong grip which will serve him well as he learns new moves.
Can take quite a bit of punishment and was always coming back for more, he is a quick learner and keen to try out the moves I taught him, with experience he will be quite a hand full!…. wrestle him before he gets too much practice!

Met this guy in SG and here.
We match in opposite way we like. Great look in pro gear.
Very nice body. We enjoy for long and hard session. Miss him and want to have sadist match with him again.

Met this incredible fighter some time ago, great body, great pro look, amazing ability to absorb punishment.
Even though into pro he was willing and very able to take the holds when applied for real… no acting (which is always my stipulation with pro)
He LOVES gut punching and will take all the pounding, stomping, knees and elbows to the abs that you can give.
Highly recommended to those who was to unleash full force to the abs!

Where to even begin?... Just like when squaring up against this colussus of a man, I'm not quite sure how to approach writing a recommendation that would do him justice. Still reeling from the man, but that might be the lack of oxygen from all the expert chokeholds, smothers, scissors and headlocks I refused to tap out from until it was my physical action before passing out.
Off mats, top bloke, well spoken, sharp and accommodating. Seems like a great guy to know.
On the mats he has the build of a superhero but the attitude of a supervillain (in the nicest possible way). He was very aware and conscious of my thresholds and was very patient when approaching my limits with a precision that hurt, but I was perfectly secure knowing he wasnt going to injure me.
He has an incredible dynamic. A hulking brute yet skilled, a perfect gentleman and heel, intimidating and inspiring. An epitome of what meetfighters is about (for me) and just a great guy I'm glad to have met, thrilled to have fought and honoured to know.
"Highly recommended" doesn't do him justice, but you might want to book a massage therapist for after the fight.

I had a great afternoon of wrestling this tenacious fighter. He has good upper body strength, puts up a good fight, and refuses to tap easily (something he regretted for a few days of aches after the match!) He took 3 hours of punishment like a real trooper and is much more solid than his pics (time to update tuff guy!)
This is a wrestler with real fighting spirit, I would gladly meet again!

I had a really intense and sweaty match with ruffnhard. Not only he is big and strong, but he is also very skilled with an extensive range of submission holds. It was a one-side match but I made him work very hard. It was really an enjoyable match. I'll just need to wait for the soreness and few marks to go away. Looking forward to the next match!

Military Wrestler is a BIG imposing man, he is fun to wrestle, strong, and keeps coming back for more!
We wrestled for a few hours and he kept me working and sweating all the way through, he has the strength and the stamina of a bull, with more experience this man is going to be lethal!
Definitely need a rematch with this big impressive fighter!

My first impression was: "what did I just get myself into" He looks just as impressive in person as on his pictures here, I'm glad however I didn't bolt the other way. He's easy to get along with, patient, knows what he's doing and willing to teach. Be warned, he will push your limits, though that's not necessarily a bad thing ;)

An all around great guy, highly recommended.

Met this great little fighter in the past… He has the best fighting spirt I’ve seen in a long time.
Even after a shaky start due to having breakfast a little to close to match time… “Burp!… he recovered and put up a very good long fight.
Fun, spirited, intelligent and willing to push his limits… Highly recommended!

Not sure how I neglected writing a recommendation for this big beefy fighter.
We have met a few times over the years, he is always fun, charming and very entertaining on and off the mats.
He has a good solid build and knows how to use it, be prepared for a fair bit of cheek while you are punishing him too.
Recommended for a good strong fun match.

There's a bit of an urban myth (usually spouted by guys who don't do any weights at all) that bodybuilders' muscles are just for show. Well in the case of ruffnhard at least, I can vouch for that not being the case—he's super strong and easily overpowered me every time. It was a little like trying to wrestle a bulldozer into submission, and with the same result. I did, however, get two subs off him, by rather unfairly targeting an old injury of his, but hey, I had to avoid a total whitewash! (And we shall just ignore the 20 times that number that he took off me.) But the huge muscles aren't all that's in his arsenal, as he knows and can execute a good range of submission holds and punches hard and accurately. And it's not just the physique that you can take at face value, his profile name is what-you-see-is-what-you-get too. He's a safe and sane guy, able and willing to pitch things for his opponent's level and tastes, but if like me you're up for doing his favored rough and hard style of match, ruffnhard is what you're going to get, and it will hurt. I am, as a result, thoroughly battered and bruised: it was a cracking match in other words! Can't wait to get back to beautiful Sydney and hit the mats with the muscle again. Ruffnhard is a top bloke, an excellent wrestler, super tough, super nice and very highly recommended.

Thanks for the compliment Squashlad, I would never claim to be a bodybuilder… Simply a fighter who likes to look good. If I knew he thought so highly of my physique I may have been a little more kind with him on the mats… which I’m sure he would have absolutely hated, because this guy likes it rough, real and brutal!
We wrestled for over 3 hours in a non-air conditioned room which left us (and the mattress) soaked in sweat and totally dehydrated. During this time Squashlad took every form of abuse known to wrestling and at quite a high intensity…. yet he was the one who wanted to keep going 3 hours later when I unfortunately had to leave.
Squashlad is probably not the most accurate name for this fighter as he certainly does not just lay there and allow you to squash him (thank God!) In fact he fights back with all the determination and strength of some of the most competitive submission fighters I’ve met.
If you are looking for an opponent who enjoys a rough, brutal but sane match, coming at you with all he’s got, then you must meet this man.
Looking forward to meeting again… highly recommended!

It's amazing that I had opportunity to wrestle with this awesome man. I had enjoyable sweaty match and he was very kind to teach me some holds. The gut punching session was really hot and hard, too. He is definitely that man that you would very much like to wrestle with one day!

Had great fun with this tough guy a while ago.
Very strong for his size and had a great fighting spirit which saw him coming back for more.
Abs could take some good punches, and had a good strong punch to return.
Very open to learn and try new things… Highly recommended for a good fun match!

Ruffnhard was a gentle but beast of a man years ago. And I can only assume he is moreso now. He was very accommodating and fun to wrestle with, even though he is incredibly tough. It won't be long until we wrestle again, and I can't wait to see what happens now. He is amazing

Met this guy a few times many years ago while he was still living in Oz… takes all the punishment you can give and keeps coming back for more. Loved bending him into a pretzel and now see he is into gut punching… If you’re in the UK go pound him fellas!!!

Had a great match a while ago with this power packed, compact muscle fighter.
Great body, great fighting spirit, took a heap of punishment and kept coming back for more!
Puts up a good fight, with plenty of resistance, Enjoyed every second and would meet again in a heartbeat!

Top bloke- a real powerhouse and tough as nails. Thanks for a great match... I'll be sore for days!

Had a fun match with this big fella… puts up a good struggle and worked up a good sweat.
He is happy to pull the gloves on and do a bit of boxing (even if he apologises if he happens to connect … what a gentleman :)
Take him on guys!

All has already been said about ruffnhard! It was a fun match that we had a while back - very strong but definitely safe and he is able to adjust his strength accordingly, while still dishing out some serious punishment!

Met this tall, lean wrestler a while ago… much stronger than he looks, and able to take plenty of real punishment.
I agree with all that’s written about his legs being super strong… But mine were stronger, was great fun making him tap from his own favourite hold ;)

I would meet him again and see how much further I could push him!

This is a long overdue recommendation for Wrestlemask... Had a great time with this strong wrestler. He is way more solid than his pics, worked up a good sweat with him over a few hours and he kept coming back for more.
Highly recommended

Met this powerhouse of a man for a wrestle. One of the strongest guys I've ever met, seriously, bearhugging this guy is like bearhugging a sack of potatoes. This guy has muscles everywhere and if he wanted to, I would have been destroyed in seconds!

Highly recommended, nice guy and real gent off the mats too.

I met this strong determined wrestler some time ago... He has a good wrestlers build with strong upper body.
The match was fun and casual, but enough to keep the sweat flowing and the muscles pumped for a good 2 hours, the conversation was also fun and relaxed.

I'd certainly meet this wrestler again if our paths cross once more

This man is as tough and strong as he looks. Watch out for those vice-grip legs. He is a thick bull and difficult to get a hold on.... but great guy and really enjoyed getting to know him as well. In spite of being beat up; I'll be back for more.

Roughbuddy is the perfect name for this fighter I met a while ago... a buddy who likes to take it as rough as he gives it!
Strong, muscled, powerful, and happy to give and take body blows whilst in a hold.
Recommended for a good hard grunting and groaning good time!

stood no chance against this powerhouse. my arsenal of dirty tricks didn't even work...he gave 'em right back, even harder. (i'm still walkin' funny...) <g> i'd do it again in a second - great guy, hard sweaty bout.

Wrestled this grappler some time ago but remember it well!
Looks great in gear and put up a good fight for 2 hours plus. Got some dirty tricks up his sleeve and was fun to turn them back on him.

Good guy, great fun, would meet again!

I had the privilege of wrestling with ruffnhard in Sydney a little while ago and it was great.
My first thought upon seeing him was "Oh no, I am fucked!" because his sheer size is very overwhelming. However I'm glad to say I was able to hang in there and give plenty back in what turned out to be a pretty even fight.
We went at it for a couple of hours in a good, hard, sweaty muscle battle. His strength and skill are impressive and when he comes at you with everything tensed and ready to attack it's quite intimidating.
Great guy off the mats, easy to talk to and a very gracious host for the fight.
Will definitely take him on again!

Met this fighter a while ago, he is a big lad with great strength through his upper body.
We wrestled for a good couple of hours and he kept coming back for more.
Action was pretty balanced, which kept us both working.

Would recommend anyone to meet if heading his way

great guy, very experience and strong.
had great matches with him

Fun wrestler and nice guy... but watch out for his mean streak! ;)

Met with Ruffnhard after quite a break since out last meet !
Guy is a real bull ...really strong and can more than hold his own
That Saïd really great guy, safe and sane however a hard match is certainty !
If you want a Challenge...challenge him!

I have met with this powerhouse a few times over the years... the man is strong, fit, and will grind it out with you for hours!
Able to take a lot of punishment and give it back in spades, but always safe and sane.
I totally enjoyed all our meets and look forward to the next.
Take this man on, you won't be disappointed!

Tough and strong - I thought my size advantage would count for more but he was easily up to the challenge. Great bloke too! Looking forward to more matches...

Met this tank of a wrestler a while ago and can't wait for a rematch!
Comes out fighting strong and hard but with no attitude, and a great sense of fun.
Highly recommended!

What can I say that was not said before? A great guy off the mats and a rough mean and extremely good heel on the mats. He find a way to make you hurt and tapping no matter what you will do. If you like to suffer and moan this is your man. Highly recommended. Would love a rematch once I will recover.

A fun and friendly guy to take apart, punish and destroy!
Takes a lot and happy to alow his limits to be pushed and tested.
Recommended to those of us who like to make em suffer! :)

Damn this guy is tough and can handle some pain. Very worthy and strong opponent - I would highly recommend him. PS - don't bother gut punching him - his ABS can take a serious beating without squirming. Above how stuff wrestler he is - he is also an awesome guy off the mats.

Wow, this guy is big... big, strong and fun!
Highly recommended for those that want a challenge, a skilled and strong wrestler who will really make you work on the mats.
A great guy to have a bit of a laugh with too, make sure you check him out when you find yourself in Sydney

A genuinely nice and interesting guy both on and off the matts. An experienced wrestler who easily adjusts his level for an exciting match. Very very strong. Watch out for the headlock. Will definately meet for a rematch sometime.

A great little wrestler who should not be under estimated, he has some very good skills under his belt and is a very strong fighter!
Put this guy on your list as a must meet if you are ever in his area.
Looking forward to a rematch when I return!

Awesome tough strong wrestler, and a hell of a fun guy. This man is a tank, no two ways about it, and though they don't look it, the legs are bloody strong. Just rough and hard enough to have a really great wrestle, moving from hold to hold, keeping it interesting and energetic. Very hard to sub cos he's so strong but knows how to use and limit his power to make it a great match. I'd do it again tomorrow. Thanks for staying for a chat and a laugh afterwards too mate!

Had a great match with this strong, determined wrestler... He refuses to tap easily and was happy to push his limits with the odd ignored tap too :)
He faught back strong and hard for close to 2 hours and was quick to bounce back for more!

A fun wrestler and a nice guy, hope to go at it again with him for round 2 sometime in the future

Very fun and nice guy, worth meeting up for a fight for sure. Super strong and tough...!

I spent a great afternoon wrestling with this tough fighter.
He takes a lot of punishment and knows how to give it back too!
Don't dare ask him to show you his boxing skills unless you are prepared for some solid blows... Got some killer body punches when he unloads!

Off the mats, a fun and friendly guy... I hope to meet again whenever I return

very strong, very determined fighter with a mean headlock!!
we went at it for 3-4 hours and he has proven to be a quick learner and mean fighter! Yes.. got a mean streak in him too!
Great attitude.. don't miss a chance to fight this man when you're in Sydney!

Wow, what can I say that hasn't already been said?

Wrestle Joe once and you will be hooked (an in joke that you will have to ask him about! :)
Such a strong and technical wrestler, and took the time to share some of his formal training even though it would then be used against him!

We wrestled hard and fast for 4 hours and it will go down in my memory as one of the greatest wrestling experiences I have ever had.

DO NOT miss the chance to battle it out with this guy... a great fighter and a greater gentleman!

Heel? He certainly wasn't with me, hahaha! Seriously, we had a very competitive match. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, especially since he's got the heart for the sport. I would definitely wrestle him again if ever I get the chance. Oh, and for the record, I won! :)

Had a great match with my mate Joey. Strong, fun and has a real love of wrestling. Oh, keep track of your submissions, if you're not counting em he is... Still reminding me of the score!!!
Can't wait to rematch and make him count how far ahead I am! :)
