| First, Kasie is a delightful woman who is all smiles, charm
and loveliness. I met her at the apartment of an acquaintance of hers;
he was kind enough to vacate so we could grapple. I had set up the
appointment for a fantasy match and had emailed her a detailed description
of what I was looking for.
I must say that while I did not get the kind of match I originally desired (this was partly my fault, as an English teacher, I am probably way too verbose and prolific a writer and my massive missive, among all the emails I'm certain she gets, probably got scant attention from her), I got an incredible match nonetheless, one that left me in amazement and shaking my head for days afterward. My fantasy match quickly turned into a semi-competitive match and Kasie achieved a riding advantage throughout. I simply could not get her off of me. As a 6'2" and 220 lb. sporadically weight trained male this came as a huge shock as I'd wrestled many women bbs before, among them, Lora Ottenad, Vicki Scaffe, Christine Marshall among others. With these women, a truly dedicated effort on my part usually yielded a broken hold or a reversal. Not so in this case. Kasie controlled me, overpowered me and wore me down until I was nothing more than a defeated puddle of sweat. She beat me like an old area rug!! The scary part was that she really seemed to genuinely relish what she was doing; I felt like I should have been charging her! She was having way too much fun. In addition, whereas with the other women I'd been able to withstand their leg scissors around the middle or my head easily enough to drum my fingers and feign boredom with their efforts, not so with Kasie. She had me in agony and tapping out almost immediately; my jaw and chest were sore for a week afterwards. Kasie also applied several police choke holds which I did my best to prevent and had sparks exploding across my field of vision, inspiring a frantic tap out. In addition, she applied a couple of other holds, the names of which I do not know, but that were excrutiating for the 2 or 3 seconds that I endured them before tapping out! I did get her in one scissor hold, but only because she allowed me to do so. Upon rejoining the battle, she was once again on my back, huge bicep around my neck and spreading my legs like apple butter on a muffin. In my defense, I must say that I was unprepared for the energetic level with which she assaulted me and because I am always a little shy about putting my hands on an unfamiliar woman in a familiar way, I did not initially resist with the kind of energy level that would have been required to keep her at bay. However, when we finished, I was a slag-heaped, sweating, trash puppy!! She on the other hand was fresh as the proverbial daisy! So, in reality, even if I had upped my energy level, she would have done the same and I fear that the outcome would have been essentially unchanged. Kasie is brutally strong, highly motivated and very skilled as a wrestler. I would love to grapple with her again, but not until I'd spent some serious time in the gym and learned at least a few holds and escapes. Upon my ultimate exhaustion, Kasie gave me a vigorous massage and we chatted amicably. She is very sweet and has a wonderful sense of humor and is possessed of no pretensions whatsoever. And, fortunately, my male ego is still intact. There is no reason that given her dedication to bodybuilding and her experience wrestling that I really should have expected to stay even with her. Yet, is quite a daunting thing to consider, having been propagandized by society like everyone else concerning women, that in a serious confrontation, she could have held my life, literally, in her hands. If you want or need to be disabused of the myth of female weakness,
I would suggest a match with Kasie. She will kick your ass into the
middle of next week and do it with a smile on her lovely face, making you
want to come back for more. Simply amazing!
