Sonya – 176 cm / 77 kg

Marek – 160 cm / 60 kg

17 kg and 16 cm difference! But is bigger always better? ;-)

First of all, there’s something special about this video — it’s actually the very first video Sonya and I ever filmed together!

So before the wrestling begins, we have a lovely little chat where Sonya introduces herself and tells you a bit about herself. It’s a nice opportunity to get to know this strong, beautiful and incredibly promising newcomer a little better!

And then... it’s time to wrestle!

This is only Sonya’s THIRD wrestling match against a man, and although she’s taller, heavier, strong and athletic, she’s still relatively new to wrestling.

Marek, on the other hand, may be just 160 cm tall and 60 kg (even 58 sometime), but he has more experience on the mats. And this time, he can smell an opportunity!

Finally, a chance to score some points, show what he’s capable of and perhaps even walk away with a victory!

So don’t expect him to hold back just because Sonya is bigger. Quite the opposite! He’s determined to make the most of every opportunity.

But Sonya has her own motivation...

Her very FIRST punishment round is waiting at the end of this match!

And she REALLY wants to be the one delivering it!

So she fights hard, keeps pushing herself and refuses to make things easy for Marek. She’s sweating, struggling and getting absolutely exhausted, but her fighting spirit is impossible to miss.

15 minutes of real competitive wrestling, followed by a punishment round for the winner.

Will Marek finally get his chance to shine against a bigger woman? Or will Sonya’s strength, determination and hunger for her first punishment round carry her through?

Enjoy the match, and let me know what you think of Sonya! I have a feeling you’ll be seeing a lot more of her. ;-)

Lara the Warrior – 171 cm / 70 kg

Sonya – 176 cm / 77 kg

I was REALLY looking forward to this match.

Sonya caught my attention almost immediately. I love her powerful, muscular body, she’s strong, athletic and moves incredibly well for someone who is still such a beginner in wrestling.

And yes, technically there is a big difference between us right now.

I have years of experience behind me, while Sonya has only had a handful of matches. So I wasn’t interested in simply crushing her for the entire fight and never giving her the opportunity to show what she can actually do.

Instead, I wanted to play with her a little. ;-)

I gave her some space to work, fight, try her ideas and show me what happens when things don’t go her way.

And THAT is exactly what I wanted to see.

Because Sonya keeps trying.

Even when something fails, even when I have an answer for what she does, even when it must become pretty frustrating to keep running into someone with considerably more technical experience... she doesn’t mentally disappear from the match.

She tries again and again.

She fights, searches for another opportunity and doesn’t want to give me anything for free. There’s a certain spark in her that I really like.

You can teach technique. You can improve positioning. You can learn submissions, escapes and timing with enough hours on the mats.

But that natural desire to keep fighting when things aren’t going your way? That’s something I always love seeing in another wrestler.

And Sonya definitely has it.

Physically, she already has an amazing foundation: 176 cm, 77 kg, muscular, strong and athletic. Add some proper wrestling experience to that body and I honestly think she could climb our imaginary ranking of female fighters VERY quickly.

I also think the two of us clicked really well. There’s a nice vibe between us throughout the match, and I genuinely enjoyed wrestling her.

So Sonya... please keep training. ;-)

Cant wait for rematch:-)
