Trained by Dan Kanagie, anyone else here?
I’ve trained in BJJ. But from a couple of brief encounters with Catch wrestlers, I’ll admit that I think Catch is better. It’s harder to learn and not as practiced as BJJ, BUT it’s absolutely PAINFUL to be under a Catch wrestler riding you with his knee spearing into your gut and cranking on your neck the entire time. Brutal.
The best promoter england as ever seen,rest in piece brian,it was a pleasure working for you.
Excellent
Love catch thanks for this!
RIP Brian Dixon
Jack "not the gentleman" Gallagher 😂
Great work, very enjoyable series
This is also the training Ground of the Great late British wrestler my idolized foothood hero Tommy Billington The Dynamite Kid
Praise Roy wood keeping the proud mighty tradition alive and strong praise catch as you can
Good thing for the Gracie's that one of these guys weren't invited to UFC 1.
I guess you've never heard of Ken Shamrock
The gracies banned many people That could beat them Including karate and boxers .. Who could grapple They only had weak fighters from different styles
Great documentary! ... removed by Vimeo!
💋💋💋💋
MMA legend Sakuraba trained here.
Great video, Gallagher is awesome
Welcome to the bkfc
Very cool
Pro wrestling ruined British mma! If catch wrestling was as mainstream as bjj, UK fighters would be a threat in mma, mixing their boxing with top notch submission wrestling
It also didn't help how the early UFC favoured BJJ grappling rules leaving out leg locks and neck cranks
@@ballshippin3809 What? Ken Shamrock won with a heel hook against Pat Smith and even tried to ankle lock Royce Gracie from standing. Eye gouging and biting were the only 2 rules that existed altho they weren't really enforced with DQs. EXCUSES!
@@graciederangementsyndrome3669 Gracies were always on the juice during their fights. Plus Shamrock wasn't allowed to wear his wrestling shoes against Gracie during their fight and Gracie even used his belt to choke shamrock out. At least the Gracie clan later got humiliated by Kazushi Sakuraba.
@@ballshippin3809Are we pretending everyone wasn't juiced to the gills then, definitely including Shamrock?
Glad to hear it. I am fascinated by pro wrestling. I couldn't care less about mma.
great video, great work
Billy Riley was my dad's uncle (he married my grans sister) - very interesting life and proud to be related.
Is that Frank Riley? Your dad as that's the only nephew I know of Billy Riley's!
Great
Thank you so much
Canadian gimmicks ... 🤦♂️ C’mon man
The subtitles for this video are killing me
ahahhaahahhaahhaa Lancashire enigma
Pretty sure I’m related too billy Riley
Great series - thanks for posting these. At the end of the day you can't beat the WOS Wrestling from the 60s / 70s / 80s. Just wish they were on TV again now. I suspect those from the 60s have long been wiped.
Danny Collins looks completely different now. Great to see Marty Jones.
Awesome.. where’s the rest of the video?
Where can I watch this, as the link doesn't seem to work or is broken?
Imagine if MMA or commission approved mixed style fights existed during the Billy Riley era of wrestling. Imo Catch Wrestlers wouldn’t have turned to Professional Wrestling for more money and CACC would still thrive today. Nowadays Gracie/Machado JiuJitsu rule the world.
Judo is more effective than bjj! Look how Khabib and Rousey smashed their bjj competition on the ground
@@kenwood2682 You're a joke. Rousey is irrelevant and Khabib is a hybrid grappler who uses more wrestling than Judo. You have to be delusional to think that Judo is more effective when nearly all positional ground fighting and submissions are BJJ, not Judo. For stand up grappling, wrestling is the most dominant. You can find BJJ based fighters in the UFC but almost no Judokas using Judo as their main style
In future Wrestling (specially Catch) will be number 1 in MMA and grappling competitions !
@@graciederangementsyndrome3669 Islam Makhachev is a Judo and Sambo expert and he's got a better overall record than Khabib at the same point in their careers.
Good series and background struggles of people determind to keep the british style going and put on a show. Credit to you all👏👏👏👏
Fantastic - a story that needs to be told
Very late to the party on this documentary but congratulations on a great set of programs. Great to see the likes of Skull Murphy (who used to wrestle in my town). And I always wondered why TWC closed. This series needs a greater push!
Thank you! Appreciate the comments. Thanks for watching.
This guy looks like escanor
I see it🤯🤯😂
Yess
This is beautiful. Thank you for this.
I'm going to go there one day, my dad lives not far from there.
Jimmy Nich did you go???
@@devriestown Not yet, I dont think they do regular lessons just seminars but I have checked for a while.
@@jimmynich4791 Hey bro, they do regular classes there too. I think it's Thursdays and Fridays, for like a fiver, or just over.
@@JivecattheMagnificent I'll check it out. Thanks.
@@jimmynich4791 No problem mate, let us know what you reckon of it.
JACK GALLAGHER BENOIT th-cam.com/video/i1XOoEHcI-4/w-d-xo.html
yeah, this guy got Benoit'd from WWE history for being a rapist. fuck him
respect to him✌️speaking out movement
He isn't such the gentleman now...it seems...
what does this mean??
He was outed for wrong doings and fired by wwe
Great documentary
I've enjoyed these a lot. Thanks very much for sharing them.
Alex Sugden Thanks, Alex. Really appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching.
This series is great!
You got one of the points wrong there, Marty Jones was taught by Billy Robinson not Billy Riley! Please try and keep the history correct, I know that maybe a genuine error and if that's the case then I apologise, but history are facts
Ripper Catch Wrestling Thank you for your comment. Marty Jones was indeed trained by Billy Robinson. For this clip however, Marty was asked about his memory of Billy Riley. I can assure you every effort was taken in ensuring this documentary is as accurate as possible. Thanks again for watching.
@@figurefourfilms5995 I didn't want to cause any offence being honestly as I respect anyone who helps promote Catch Wrestling 🙏
Ripper Catch Wrestling No offence taken! Always good to have feedback.
@@figurefourfilms5995 A lot of things written on social media or online can be misinterpreted and sometimes because of how direct I am and the way I come across people think I'm trying to be purposely negative.
Billy used to take his best students to Riley's gym to wrestle there as well as at his own gym in Manchester. He took Marty several times.
2:52 When he get so damn sexy tho 😍
So Antonio Inoki is considered pretty good?He was tapping out A young Brock lesnar and Other MMA, BJJ exponents.
Gallagher should be dominant!! Goat
Suddenly his skill at the UFC videogames makes all the sense in the world.
Jack gallagher to uf... o wait I meant aew confirmed
I didn't know it was still there
Would like to seen the whole programme
