It isn't every day that you can manage to book not one but two matches on the same day. And have them work out time wise as well. The two were kind of specialty matches, one a fellow I have met with several times, the other a newbie. The repeat fellow likes chokes, plain and simple. Both giving and taking. He's a big man, 6'2", 250 or so pounds, not in the best of shape, but still big. We shared a few pleasantries, then got down to business. We always start out grappling, going for position and control. I manage to gain the mount, then go to work to trap him in an arm triangle choke. Like I said, he's a big man, but I finally manage to lock it in by rolling toward his side. Before he knows it, he's out. Oh yes, he likes going all the way out, no tapping. And now that I have control, I don't relinquish it. I move him to his side and catch him in a rear naked choke using my right arm. After making sure he's back with me, he starts to try to resist. I flex my right bicep and he's out again. Repeat this sequence for some 40 minutes. I finally let him up and he performs a two fingered choke on me. Understand, I let him do this. He has yet to take me in a match where he is able to apply a choke. I have to let him do it. Don't want to hurt his feelings, you know. We do some more grappling and this time I apply a sweet butterfly choke, using his shirt. Soon enough, our time is up, he has to catch a plane, and after some relaxing in the hotel spa, we part ways. A good time had by all until his next trip my way.

On my way home, I have a second match set up with someone I've been trying to meet with for awhile but it's just never worked out. Like a said, a specialty kind of match. This young fellow, well, young to me, likes to fight but have his clothes ripped and stripped as doing so. He's my height, but a bit lighter. We actually started the match as a scenario and then let it run it's course. He is a strong fighter but in the end, his clothing was in tatters around the room and he was getting the worse of a gut punch session. And it wasn't what he expected where he would be held against the wall. No, I did most of it on the bed which applies a whole different set of ab muscle maintenance. Needless to say, I expect he is sore in a number of different ways today. About 4 hours later, we went next door to the hotel for some "In and Out" from the hamburger joint, then parted ways. What a good day it was, well for me, that is.

I hope to meet them both again soon.
