John-Paul Riley vs. Dave Ruechelle (with gutpunching) Sample Wrestling Workout 12 - Part 1

I am 5'10, 200 pounds. My buddy Dave is 6'1, 275 pounds. We start off with a gut punching warm up. A year ago, my buddy was nervous and timid about using his strength and aggression. After working out with me on a regular basis for a year, (during which I learned more than he did), he is now a much more confident fighter, proficient in some of the most important fundamentals of any martial art: staying relaxed, learning how to connect with your center of gravity, learning the importance of controlling your opponent's 2 of 5 (arms, legs, head), learning that where the head goes the body follows. I am not deeply skilled in any one martial art, with formal training in BJJ, wrestling, Muay Thai. But, I am good at recognizing and teaching the fundamentals anyone needs to master to truly excel at a martial art. Center of Gravity, relaxation. My buddy Dave could go into a BJJ academy as a beginner and not have to worry about learning the basics that most schools ignore. Anyday now I will post a workout session where he gets his first submission on me. How proud of him I will be when that happens. I'm offer my services to other men who are seeking to become comfortable with their desire to be physically aggressive, to use their aggression to build bonds of friendship. Look me up if you are interested in experiencing this process yourselves.


WARNING: I work best with gay warrior-brothers, because my aggression is tied into my sexual energy, and one of the services I offer is teaching you to be comfortable with the very human and sacred sexual arousal that is natural for warrior-brothers who enjoy fighting. I am sorry, but it is a terrible, hypocritical affliction of our society that insists the two should be separate. I will happily work with men whose inborn aggression is not tied to their sexual energy with total respect as well.

On a more serious note, I think you both could benefit from some actually BJJ training. It would give more structure to your grappling sessions and teach you some self defense.

@allentate Thanks for the honest feedback. We have been looking for a skilled teacher to work with us, we are both committed to finding one this year! I agree, we could both benefit from having more training. I rather like vale tudo training over BJJ training, however.

[allentate]

@johnpriley It's fairly unlikely to find vale tudo in the U.S. The most closely related training would be an MMA school where they did have a focus on grappling.

I would check the lineage of any such school to make sure they are teaching true grappling based in some wrestling, judo, BJJ, sambo or other legitimate form of grappling.

While I respect your right to combine your training and sexuality, I trust you understand that that would have to remain at home.

[johnpriley]

@allentate I would never violate another's boundaries by expressing my sexuality in a traditional training environment. However, I disagree that my training and my sexuality must remain at home. I know first hand the kind of psychological and spiritual damage I have done to myself by denying myself dignified, respectful, loving, and warm expression for the aggression that comes from my nuts. My goal is create an environment where they do not have to be separate. I am not alone in this.

Good male bonding...this is what all males need from time-to-time

and the world would be a much happier place..

[johnpriley]

@adultzfun Complete Agreement.

[allentate]

@johnpriley I guess all that I meant was the first part, which you acknowledged. "At home" was simply the expression I used.

Needs more baby oil.

@johnpriley it's all good man. still like your effort.

[johnpriley]

@cub35guy Not with Dave! We connect in the submission space. Just how it is with us.

[johnpriley]

@mysonisbadazz Thanks for the good suggestions man. Ideally, I would love to find a skilled BJJ practitioner to coach both of us during these sessions. I'll look into that idea further now that you've reminded me of it. The DVDs are a good investment.
