Saturday September 28 2019 - Houboxer	Visitors in town
I had the honor of meeting to meet HouBoxer (id 3955) who came all the way from Houston, Texas. We've arranged several meets previously, but he had to cancel due to various issues, so I didn't really think he'd show up this time until he started confirming flights and hotel reservations in the past few days. When I left the house en route to his hotel, it only occurred to me afterwards that his name ends with "Boxer" and that I probably should have brought in some boxing gear as well. As I found out later, HouBoxer does some real boxing/sparring, which I've never done before. I asked him if he could train me one day. Sounds like very good cardio. I explained that my style is mostly receiving the punches and trying to resist them as long as I can, but I wouldn't be opposed to learn the real style. HouBoxer's profiles are very stingy in terms of information, so I had to look back in our messages to determine what are his wrestling preferences. We started with pro wrestling and he asked that we wear our masks. We had entrances and wrestler annoucements just like the real thing on TV and we locked up with the bell and referree as background noises emitted from his phone. Hey, it adds a bit of realism. The strength he puts in his holds and the moves him employ indicates to me that it's stiff pro rather than pure pro fantasy, where at least some pressure and sometimes, increased pressure is used just to tease your opponent. HouBoxer did tell me that I could have executed my moves with greater force. I should have clued in earlier since boxing probably increases HouBoxer's resiliency. HouBoxer showed me he really knows a great deal of holds, many of which I would not have cooperated with other wrestlers. I of course had to rack and scissor him. Later on, we switched to submission, but we kept our pro gear on. Instead of putting the mattress on the carpeted floor, we added a blanket instead. The knee pads and elbow pads we had gave us a good form of protection against the harder surface even with a carpet on. Since it's been a while HouBoxer last wrestled submission-style, I went with a more defensive approach, letting him again be on the offense and conserve my energy. It made me realize that pro-style is actually more tiring for me, because you're up, moving around, locking in, groaning and moaning and it's quite some work. Whereas sub-style, the one I used in our match, was less tiring because I was in energy conservation mode and would resist most of the time. I'd attack only when given the opportunity. We wrestled for several hours, took it easy by taking large breaks in between, did a bit of back and forth. I brought my camera, but I felt that he was uncomfortable with the idea, despite us initially using masks and despite him telling me it was okay to bring my camera. So, in the end, I left my camera in my bag. In those cases, I would prefer he'd tell me in advance that pictures aren't his thing, that way I wouldn't have to carry all the extra crap like the tripod, the camera bag and all its underlying components. I also should have clued-in considering that most of his photos have the face removed. I'll be more careful next time. I still wish I had something to watch to remember our encounter. HouBoxer is only about 10 lbs heavier than me and to my own surprise, I can make him submit in my bearhug, heheheh. I spent the night at his hotel and gave him another big warm bearhug before I left. I admit that if I was closer to HouBoxer, we probably would wrestle each other often.
