He is fun to wrestle, even in cramped hotel rooms. Very experienced, and always safe and sane. Nice guy off the mats too. Hmmm he claimed he was taller than me... :) Thanks for the free dinners! :)

He is a nice guy, strong and creative wrestler. Wanne wrestle again with him.

Frendly guy and good wrestler, can be tough in a fight.

"this is it" - simply G.r.e.a.t :), if you re looking for an excellent trained, skilled, reliable sparingpartner with clear profil, fotos - "this is it" - been meeting for ages guys from sites like this, and got actually more focus on sparing at wrestling/bjj clubs, so after a long time i gave it a new chance - and this was the best of it, had a great 3,5 hour lasting permanent sparing match in 3 different styles - bjj, sambo and wrestling, very recommendable and always again :)

Very skilled and super strong fighter, 100% recommendable.

We fought for over three hours and could have gone longer. His cardio is really impressive and his strength is off the charts: it's hulk like. We fought with a full gi, sambo style with just the gi top and then submission style. What he is missing in technique he more than makes up for in strength. When we took the gi tops off it was really difficult for me to submit him. Strong, smart, aggressive but also really cool off the mats. I highly recommend him. One word of warning, this kid has an impressive motor (cardio), plus strength and technique, bring your 'A' game when you come to grapple with him.

Very cool wrestler who has quite a bag of submission techniques available.
Though I am stronger than he, he always finds a way to make me submit.
It is impressive how focussed and controlled he is in a fight.
Also a reliable, educated and friendly guy off the mats.
Just not to be missed out if he comes your way.

Chris is a strong skilled wrestler who is safe and sane and is great fun to wrestle. He is a most friendly and pleasant guy and I cant wait to wrestle him again

Excellent Grappler! très puissant des cuisses, un bo mâle qui plus est. Il possède un véritable espace pour lutter chez lui, et se rouler dessus pendant des heures. Il connaît parfaitement les techniques de soumission, et il aime la bagarre. En esprit et en corps c'est un dominant pure souche. Il cherchera toujours, même épuisé, ou éventuellement dominé, à avoir le dernier mot; c'est un mec qui reste dangereux à tout moment. Bernard, mon ami de Liège, nous a présenté l'un à l'autre, et ça a été un très grand moment de dérouille entre mâles. Je compte bien me rebattre avec lui d'une manière, ou d'une autre (peut-être aussi en kimono la prochaine fois ?..). Chaudement recommandé! j'oubliais : un gars adorable hors tapis..

I have known Turtle off and on for over 16 years, and I have recently reconnected. He is very skilled BJJ/MMA, an excellent coach, and a very grounded sincere man to have as a friend. I am honored that he bothers to train and coach me.
