John is one of those men that we all hope to meet and wrestle! Strong, skilled, safe, honest, and worthy of trust. A good friend.

Even that he is not the strongest person in the world,his skills and technique more than make up for that.He can wrestle more and more and more,till you cant.But the most important....maybee the kindest and easy going person I have ever met,friendly all the time with everybody.Thank you Ed

Strong as a grizzle bear and very quick for his size.His skill is also very very good....so very difficult to beat him.I had a great match with him,tough but great.Outside the matts he is a gentle,kind laid back person.Thank you

I had a great match with him. Strong, skilled and he can wrestle forever. I had a great time with hi,. Don't miss an opportunity to taek him on! He's a real gentleman off the mats as well!

i highly recommend meeting with mattz to anyone who is looking for a good hard fought match. He is by far one of the best opponents i have had. He will push you to do your best. he's a great guy very nice, won't put down or belittle you.

so if you're interested contact him you won't be disappointed.

Tough, strong, and fun wrestler. Nice looking and smart too! Put me through my paces - a very good match up. Hope to rematch one of these days!

skilled fighter - don't let his smiley unassuming nature fool ya. A highly skilled martial artist and judoka. Travels for a good match. Charming, great attitude and meticulous teacher/coach. Would definitely meet up again for more training and matches!

Took O. on in an nhb type scrap a few years ago. Found him smart quick aggressive and strong. Took me down and caught me with some good shots which shook me. Chose to throw in the towel at that point. Would like to recommend him as a genuine challenge.

Anybody who knows him knows this recommendation does not even come close to doing him justice - but i will attempt:

Excellent fighter - very technical and very skilled. His reputation as a master grappler/fighter/warrior/martial artist certainly precedes him. On-and-off the mats, great guy with an interesting sense of humour! :)
Defintely worth a detour and trip to visit, if you're up for a challenge - whether it be a good hard grapple, a training session, or strength match - oh yes, strong as an ox as well. (PS.. 18"a is an understatement...)

Nice, friendly guy off the mats, but a very strong and skilled grappler who's definitely worth meeting for a tough challenge.

The only evenly-matched opponent so far who's made me tap quickly and consistently, but he's safe and sane and was concerned when I didn't want to tap when I should have.

More punctual than me, since he knows where he lives and can read Cyrillic. ;-)
