My favorite is how when I was a BJJ blue (with five prior years of catch) they would yell at me NO LEG ATTACKS! yet now every BJJ school "rediscovered" leg attacks. Absolutely hilarious.
I don't think they rediscovered them. I don't allow my students to use them until blue belt. For several reasons. But I've been doing leg locks in Jiu-Jitsu since 1999.
@@erikpaulson4929 We still love you Master Paulson. What are your thoughts on Silat. I asked Maul Mornie if he ever pressure tests himself and he called old, fat, & bald and out of shape for daring to challenge him.
When Erik does the moves so smoothly you can clearly see that Catch wrestling is the father of Pro wrestling. The locks can be done for real or just for show. It's up to the wrestler. Erik is a legend !
These subs def work but if some reason you can't finish, your still in great position and exposes your opponents back or sets up a different sub. Since you don't have to drop back to the ground to finish, no risk of your opponent defending and getting top position. Can also use if just need to tie someone up till cops show up.
I attended a few seminars with Eric several years ago and I can assure you that all of his locks/submissions are painful. They however have a pro wrestling look. He is a legit Rigan Machado black belt as well.
@P Kamino Fair point about the Gene LeBell sketches but catch wrestling was still legit wrestling, only with neck cranks, leglocks, and armbars. Looking past the obvious Sakuraba and Barnett, Neil Melanson is also a known and respected catch wrestler.
@@erikpaulson4929 Yes I do Lou Thesz, Karl Gotch, Billy Robinson, all certified shooters of their era Then somewhere along the way, that got phased out for more athletic stuff.
@Mr Bumpo aka Mr B Sounds excellent. Unfortunately, I seem to have been born in the wrong generation. Missed out on training with Billy Robinson and Karl Gotch and other shooters of the era. Would have loved to learn from the legends themselves.
I started BJJ 5 years ago, I did this in my first few months not knowing what it was, just made sense to do this to pass guard. It's hilarious that I was "educated out of" what worked almost immediately. 😂
I have so much respect and admiration for catch wrestling. I don’t know why it never caught on more (see what I did there?). It’s a real shame it doesn’t have the same kind of popularity as Brazilian jujitsu. Mostly marketing I guess. I honestly think that, all things being equal, a good catch wrestler beats a good jiujitsu player on any given day. Besides, catch wrestling as much more practical for actual combat. Even Chris Hauter talks about how you should be on top and be aware of the seductive nature of playing guard. I’m glad you’re still around, Erik, and I’m thankful that you are willing to share your knowledge with us.
GET SAVED BECAUSE JESUS CHRIS IS COMING BACK SOON!!!!!!! REMEMBER YOU ARE MOREEE THAN WORTH IT AND GOD AND JESUS WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!

the dude is like tapping his ass off & Paulson just calmly presses forward with the lock hahaaaaa. took that leg home as a souvenir
Sorry I got stuck on that first one there...post op neck surgery

There’s so many techniques from standing, thank you for the info Sir Paulson.
Gonna try these on the guard pullers next time, lol!😁
He a freaking Martial Genius! I have said it for 2 decades! LOL Thank you Sensei Erik!

Mentioning American "wrestling" near he's name is offensive 😂

it works, i tried it on my brother.

Pro wrestling is comes from Catch wrestling. The locks can be done for real or just for show. Up to the wrestler.
Looks like some straight up pro wrestling holds and I love it
If it works, and it looks like it does, that's all that matters
I agree.... At my gym as soon as someone taps once we stop right away. The dude taps, stops, then taps again... Like wtf.

Do you know the roots of pro wrestling is catch wrestling

Спасибо за Ваше видео и Ваши потрясающие техники!!!
Brilliant
Everyone should know by now that the standing Achilles Lock can turn into a half Boston Crab when your opponent resists your standing Achilles Lock.
Karl Gotch was famous for breaking legs on jujutsu guys who pulled guard with techniques like this
@@ddwfw research yourself he was world class grappler. Don’t have time to hunt down his entire life for you. It’s easy to find
@@user-qi6gm2iz3v the only vid I could find of Karl gotch was an old scripted match in Japan. Don’t spew bs if you don’t wanna back it up with facts.
@@PathtoMidnight his student was on Joe Rogan talking about it look it up

Is this a calf slicer?
Yeap
nope
Pressure against the knee and/or lower back, depending how you put your weight down and choose to finish.
Is this legal is a BJJ tournament ? Isn’t this called reaping and isn’t reaping illegal ?
Awesome stuff 👍🏻
Is this white belt legal?
Great technique!!!
I tried doing this standing but can seem to get it
Kimura leg lock, that's savage.
Great
something about the way he taps makes me thinks these dont actually work
I think his student is worried about getting hurt and tapping too early.
He might tap to early if he is scared of the pain. Those look too painful to me if anything.
They do
He was just closer to the camera so he was loud when he tapped
@@erikpaulson4929 They definitely do work. Erik Paulson is the man and CSW is the most underrated organization today.
Is CSW currently open? I'm in OC on the weekends.
Unreal! 😲
Legend!!!
Paulson is real OG. TAP TAP TAP 😂
Nice
Poor Uke ! 2:05
He broke my leg just looking at that!
Catch wrestling is great👍
日本語に翻訳
Pro wrestling moves. 😊🙏
Holy fuck that was nasty and yet so simple
BJJ class destroyer 😂
I've never seen one of these used in any type of competition, ever.
Because competitions have rules, that isn't real fighting
@@Dajen_Tk Congrats on the stupidest comment ever.
OH. MY. GAWD!
Cacth wrestling is great
I did this against my friend at the gym and felt bad...I thought I hurt him and was making up some bs but I guess it's legit.
Give uke a beer after that.... and a cold pack!
Holy fuck
never seen it in ufc
CSW 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤🤍🤍💯💯💯💯.
Oss!
Why would he need to tap that much... If you have time to tap 5 times like that then the move isn't actually working.
Probably because he knows the knee tendons are super fragile and by the time you feel pain damage is happening.
No they are working. Learn them and try them. Perfect form, no space.
Dam he is kind of a sick.
Alot of those arent legal at lower ranks. Thats the only problem
Savagery 101
Wtf...
😂

Who is Jesus Chris ? Is that English Jesus ?
@@nemanacemu2024 im sorry i spelled it wrong *Jesus Christ
Leg locks are proof there is no god.

Am sorry but John danaher invited this years ago please give credit
Lol!
