Where I’ll say I differ from most is: Wrestling is an experience for me. I get off on making men tap out and submit, especially in a bearhug or full nelson. Whether it’s standing chest to chest, or my chest on their back down on the mat. After many matches I’ve learned proper placement, pressure, and some stamina exercises to make my 2 major moves effective. These things are in my mind as I’m training. When I’m benching heavy, I’m thinking about how I can use my strength on the mats. When I’m rowing or deadlifting, I’m thinking about how my bearhug benefits from a stronger and tighter back. When I’m doing overhead presses or cable crosses, I treat it as lifting an opponent in a nelson. Everyday I’m working on my grip strength and my core stability. I want you to feel the early mornings, late nights, and the miles I’ve ran as I test my mass against your body.

I’ve made most of the guys I’ve wrestled here tap in some sort of clinch. In my last freestyle wrestling tournament I felt the guy slapping my bicep as I rolled him 5 times for the tech fall. It’s my favorite thing. In a battle a simple clinch squeeze shouldn’t be soo effective, but mine is. I’ve been focusing on it for the last couple years. Testing it on friends, teammates, and lately I’ve won a few beer bets with bar doormen and bouncers. Although I must admit, my favorite hug is when I’m topping a guy, and squeezing his chest from the back. The level of control I’m in while penetrating his hole yet inflicting pain on his chest gives me a huge rush! For the guys that I haven’t brought to submission in previous matches, I can’t wait to show my improvements. If this intimidates you, it should 😂. Most of my previous matches will comment that I was nice and respectful…they will also privately tell you that my hug was a new experience for them. I’m a large dude and I’m only getting stronger. I’ll upload some blog posts about previous matches soon.
