Saturday July 27 2019 - Fighting4Fun and AllStar

I met with Fighting4Fun (id 7583) and AllStar today for a match. I thought I didn't had a match with Fighting4Fun since 5 years ago, but looking back into my past blog entries, it seems we've wrestled in October 2017. As for AllStar, I thought I had wrestled him before, but nope, this is apparently my first time and AllStar told me that I probably mixed him up with someone else. He decided to join us so he could take a video while holding the camera, but that doesn't mean I don't get to wrestle him still... More on that later.

Fighting4Fun has evolved quite a bit since I last saw him. First of all, he closed all of his wrestling membership sites to dedicate his time to train Jiu-Jitsu at a school. You see this coaching heart in him and the gentle man that knows what strength to use to teach or to stand in combat. Despite that, he's still unbeatable. Agile, fast and strong. With a name like Fighting4Fun, it's a bit obvious that we went into submission, but moderate submission (so instead of tiring out after 5 minutes, you should tire out after an hour or two). His training and experience in Jiu-Jitsu definitely makes him a tough cookie. We are kind the inverse of each other. He is strong in his arms, weak in his legs while I'm strong in my legs, but weak in the arms. It doesn't take him much for him to avoid my legs though. That's where is agility and technique comes into play.

He spoke about hosting his previous WrestleAxe videos on YouTube, but eventually he had to remove them, because even if you wear a speedo, the community will *still* flag it as "nudity". Obviously.

This is exactly why I don't host my videos on YouTube. So instead, he hosts them now on Vimeo and he sets three checkmarks that protects his videos: adult, violence and nudity. He can now keep them there without being worried about seeing them being eradicated the next day. He told me that on YouTube, it usually takes about 30 complaints to cause your account to be deleted. I told him that I begged to differ: it only takes a single complaint.

AllStar previously had a match with Fighting4Fun before I arrived, so he was a bit exhausted. We tangled lightly and I lowered down my strength to match his. We've then decided to do something better: the two of us, me and him, we teamed up against Fighting4Fun. Now, that is a great definition of fun. You have an elite, expert, experienced guy like Fighting4Fun, now in a handicap match with the two of us, each holding one leg and one arm. Still, Fighting4Fun put up quite a fight. This was the perfect moment for me to hold him in an arm scissor: immoblize one arm with my legs and immobilize the other arm with both my arms. And then I told AllStar:

- "He's all yours!"

We still struggled quite a bit, but eventually our teamwork got the better of him and he tapped out once. Yay.

It's not really fair for Fighting4Fun, but he really welcomed the challenge.

I think AllStar is camera shy, so all you will get today are pictures between me and Fighting4Fun.

We'll start with some basics from me: a grounded bearhug and a full nelson body scissors (this was one of the few times we did a give and take hold, because normally, it's near impossible to lock this in a submision match). Again, credit goes to AllStar for shooting these.

As you probably will expect it, Fighting4Fun's moves are quite a bit more technical. You have this sleeper and then, this hold... that I thought was an one-arm choke, but that's not it. There's a different term for it and I couldn't figured out what it was. If you do what is the name of this submission, by all means, please do let me know.

Fighting4Fun looks very nonchalant and zen in this signature hold, but it actually does work on him pretty well. That is, if he cooperates.

These are all screencaps from a few videos. Fighting4Fun told me he'll do some editing and then he'll post it on his profile. I'll try to do the same on my end.

After 2 hours of submission, both of us were pretty much drained. I gave him a big bearhug, but he showed me how to do it properly: put your arms lower on your opponent's lower back, put your chin just underneath your opponent's shoulder, bend him and push your chin forward. I have to admit, he did it on me: it hurts. That's not the type of bearhug I like. I felt an arc in the back and a bad ache. Nope. I'm going to stick to my traditional bearhugs.

I did a lighter bearhug for AllStar, and hopefully, I'll get to wrestle him again. He's a very nice guy. He's light on his wrestling skills, but just a little bit of training and practice can easily change that.

One last thing I'd like to mention is that I wrestled both of them on a bed sheet that we placed on the wooden floor. Fortunately, we were aware of our surroundings and of the limitation of this setting. Whenever someone was against the floor, we made sure not to push or to put pressure, because the spine against a hard surface is never a good idea. It's actually quite dangerous. I think I'll insist next time to put the mattress on the floor.
