I was supposed to meet up with one of Fighting4Fun's top student (apparently, M4st3rP), but he canceled due to family obligations. My host prepared a nice breakfast for me, the usual scrambled eggs and bacon and we continued a brief hour of sparring.
Armbars are the hold (or weapon) of choice and I'd have to say I have never received as many armbars as I had this week-end.Īfter an hour of sparring or so, our host Fighting4Fun kindly prepared my bed so I can rest up for the full array of matches that's waiting for me tomorrow. All I can do when he goes in attack mode is to defend and delay that inevitable submission.
? After all, there is a price for free submissions.
It's basically the only 3 holds I know how to use in submission if I can't use my arms or if I determine that my opponent's arms are stronger than mine.Īnyhow, Fighting4fun gave a couple of free taps, but not without him making me tap a hundred times fold the legitimate way afterwards. however, he was kind enough to let me put on my ankle locks, my body scissors and my leg scissors on him without him resisting back every once in a while. In addition, he became a teacher now of a dojo, training students and sparring his students almost on a daily basis, which kind of makes him now an unstoppable force.įighting4Fun has this methodology where he toys with his opponent, he lets them think that he has the upper hand and then he'll make you tap when he feels he gave you enough freedom. Mind you, he's 61 now, but age is just a number: with his experience, knowledge and skill, he is still the best among all of us. Obviously, been an MMA expert and having won numerous medals around the world, each time I see Fighting4Fun, he just gets better and better. ? Our last match together was 3 years ago.
Once we reached our destination, my host kindly made me a tour, showed me his marvelous basement and we took the opportunity to warm up just us two to prepare for the upcoming onslaught or beatings that I was going to get. I had an agreement with Fighting4Fun who came to pick me up in Montreal to drive to his house in Sherbrooke. I made the mistake of racking someone above my shoulder's tolerance, but all in all, I think it went pretty well. Anyhow, I wasn't sure if I was ready for this, because I am currently carrying a shoulder pain that lasted since a couple of months. Events I've attended in the past or either pro, hybrid or one-on-one hotel room events where the type of match is really up to your opponent. I think this is the first time I'm attending an all-out submission event. By the way, Sherbrooke is a small town between east of Montreal and west of Quebec city.
It was called "Submission Wrestling Weekend #2" and it was hosted by Fighting4Fun at his home in Sherbrooke where he has a basement full of mats that are very nicely laid out, ideal for competitive submission matches.
