I had a session with Dez back in October(2021) and it was utterly amazing!I have said this before but she may be the perfect session wrestler. She was super strong(even with her shoulder), skilled, personable, trash talk, ect.
I asked for a playful comp session where I could go full strength(without being an ass) but still want to lose and lose convincingly. Dez was able to deliver on all accounts.
Her grappling was full proof and I was thoroughly handled. The majority of the session was her taking me from hold to hold in a comp match. The times would start on our knees I could hold off a tad and then get submitted. She was very creative with a decent amount of holds and had no issue maneuvering me where she wanted using her strength and skill. Like moves that could be stopped by me if I was stronger. At one point I showed her a move and instead of practicing on me used the move in the next point flawlessly.
She was still recovering from her shoulder injury but outside of her not being able to do a complete lift and carry session it has no effect on her. She even opened up with a lift to get me on the ground. I'm about 195 and 5'8 and she lifted me like I was nothing. I cant imagine her at full upper body strength.
At one point she had hew thighs around my waist but with her knees on the ground so her legs were not locked. She squeezes a little to maneuver me and I felt a good tight amount of pressure. I think she could have tapped me like this but I forgot to ask.
She was also able to provide commentary on her holds as she did them. At one point she was on my back while my stomach was on the floor and I could not do anything. She then pointed out that because she had my hips off the ground and legs and arms immobilized I had no leverage and she was correct.
Anytime I tried to get out of a hold it would not work or even backfire on me. When she had me in a head scissors I tried using my arm to pry her legs but she caught the arm and submitted me with a triangle of sorts
We didn't do much of the straight scissor holds and looking back I should have asked, but I can't imagine them being anything less then dominant
We ended the session with some forced foot worship and then she cuddled me and told me everything was going to be fine and that I put up a valiant effort. I had mentioned I have a strong bear hug at some point and she suggested ending the session with me putting her in it. Keep in mind I have submitted Kasie Kavanaugh with this hold when I was 8 years younger. I'm 28 now and stronger I think. However, Dez did not submit and in fact I put so much power into it that I gassed myself.
Overall she was amazing. Great personality and is someones who genuinely loves what she does. She was crazy strong and I meet her still in rehab mode, can put you into creative holds and wrap you up or just out muscle you.
