I don't know if it's Donald Jay's reddish hair or his name that brings out my full Krush agro, but check out these submission wrestling matches I had in 2017 with him. It was all about choking that day.

This is a subject that doesn't get enough attention or discussion, partially because traditional gender roles are being questioned and expanded. And this is a good thing--we're finally at a point in history where what it means to be a man. a woman, transgender or gender fluid is being redefined and better understood.
But there's one unfortunate byproduct of this gender evolution--in reaction to centuries of brutally repressive gender codes, traditionally masculine traits and behaviors are being devalued and even demonized. We're more accepting than ever before about non-truadional gender expression, but the pendulum is swinging towards an extreme opposite position where guys who are naturally masculine and interested in traditionally masculine pursuits are too often viewed as neanderthals, old-fashioned, lug heads, or closeted. I've been reading articles like this one which makes a great case for why rough play is a healthy form of expression and socialization. Some from the Good Men Project point out that rough play teaches kids about ethics, the difference between right and wrong, and how to develop appropriate social skills and boundaries. I'm curious to hear what other people think about this. Feel free to reply below. Mixed Martial Arts was just gaining in popularity during the 1990's, so a lot of the fights during this time period weren't all that technical, and much more primal. These are the kinds of fights I like watching most.
Seriously, one of the roughest, realist, rowdiest wrestling videos you'll find anywhere. Anywhere. Watch the entire video here.
Vale Tudo, which means "anything goes", is a form of submission fighting which originated in the 1920s. In this form of fighting, virtually nothing was off limits---head butts, groin shots, brutal choking or neck punches, and bare knuckle shots to the face and groin were all par for the course. Initially fights like these took place in carnivals in Brazil between fighters with different martial arts and wrestling backgrounds until the 1960s when these fights were deemed too brutal--which led to them being banned at public events. At that point Vale Tudo competitions went underground. In the 1990s, the UFC events inspired a resurgence of interest in a wider variety of combat sports, which brought Vale Tudo back into the mainstream, albeit with more regulations and boundaries. This video is a good example of the raw, primal quality of Vale Tudo fighting. Lionel, AKA "Flash," and I have been wrestling for over 10 years. Last year we had a really intense set of matches where I went all out on him, choking him repeatedly and making him pass out if he didn't tap. His strength and resilience is remarkable. You can download this video HERE.
Watch these two beefy dudes beat the crap out of each other. Lots of good punching and ground wrestling, in an outdoor ring over sand. One of my toughest opponents is Gaz. This is the first official video with did together of our submission wrestling matches, which included heaps of body punches, specifically gut punches. Watch the whole video HERE.
