Introduction
==========
I’m a low-key and easy-going guy that likes the struggle, competition, and closeness of a MF match. This easy-going nature makes me a safe guy to have a match with (getting you to tap is never going to make me so riled-up I get you injured), but it also makes me terrible at steroid-level heel talk. I’d much rather hit the mats and show you what I’ve got than talk about it for months before our match. So if you enjoy a good sweat inducing, muscle testing, safe yet physically demanding match, please HMU!

Match Preferences
================
Preference #1 - Submission Matches: Sub matches are my favorite; a match where, regardless of our size/experience, we're both safe yet competitive. I just started this crazy hobby here on MF last year so I'm more size than skill right now (and find myself tapping to smaller guys all the time). My defense is better than my offense, my stamina is solid, and I'm VERY aware of my weight in regards to safety (I used to be MUCH heavier, so I’m always hesitant to fully use it). Smaller but interested? Contact me. Seriously, 170lb guys own me in BJJ class, so I’ll count you my equal unless I know otherwise. Then, I’ve been known add various handicaps to my game (no repeat subs, I start in defensive not neutral positions, etc).

Preference #2 - Promission matches: Whether you don't know submission moves or our size/skill is on two different planes, we can take just roll for control and go for more pro-style submissions. For me, a promission match is less about the strategy and intensity of the above style submission match and more of an attempt to gain control, keep it, and be a bit playful in antagonizing the guy bound-up by the stronger guy. These matches can be as playful as agreed upon before the match... let's just communicate here about preferences.

Preference #3 - Heel/jobber matches: On occasion, you might happen to have a torso that I wouldn't mind abusing. BIG Bonus points if you struggle and try to escape all the holds I'll throw on you. And surprise me by catching me in a submission attempt?! That’ll awaken the heel in me!

Not my Preference: “exchanging holds.” I’m a fit guy and love the endorphin rush of the struggle and physical nature of the styles above. A low key holds exchange doesn’t have that for me. Know that I’ll probably be polite if you ask me for one, but I’ll say no, no matter your age, body type, etc.

Want to message me? Feel free to say hi. I'm mostly on MF to set-up matches, though... I'm not a passionate chatter.

Dropping by Nashville soon? If you read the above and we have similar interests, message me. I have a mat room at my house and enjoy rolling with new guys.

No's for me:
- Hygiene issues or cigarette odor (we're going to be close).
- Matches while drunk/high (again... I want safe & competitive).
- Rough punches (at BEST, light body blows... but even they're not really my thing).
- Sex/anal - always a no.
- Online matches/Video chatting - no thanks.
