Hi, @@EMWMIKE, we'll just have a pre-sale of a short sleeve version of the Ripper Catch Wrestling. It will take 2 months to deliver but we'll ship to most countries. The pre-sale closes December 31st. 2018. Here is the link of the video. Thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/JNnuSUhjhw0/w-d-xo.html
I practice catch wrestling and actually grew up with that as my main martial art that I would focus on, one day my cousin had told me he had been training in a jiujitsu school for a few months and wanted to test his ability to grapple on me in a sparring match, since I was one of the only people in our family that actually trained in wrestling of any kind. He did pretty good, doing his best to stay on top of me and hold me close and smother anything I did when he wasn’t, but while he was on top of me I managed to push him onto his back while I was still on my back, now both of us laid there with our legs still intertwined, so of course I gripped the heal of his foot and cranked it and he was forced to immediately tap. I was surprised when he told me that what I did would’ve been an illegal move in his gym. We sparred again and this time I caught his head between my legs and forced him to tap again with a scissor lock, I asked him if that would’ve been illegal, and he said he doesn’t know, he doesn’t know if anyone in his school would even think to do that rather then just try to get in a better position.
I used to use Catch against BJJ guys in the 90s. Leg locks pissed them off. Eric Paulson and Larry Hartsell were huge inspirations to me back in the day. Now, too many injuries. Now I coach my son.
I think I like the concept of this style where you just dont sit in your butt and wait for the opponent to approach. Aggresiveness is part of this style and I like that.
I can't wait to eventually work some catch wrestling into my game. I fell in love with grappling as a kid playing with my friends, but my school didn't have wrestling nor did I even know high school wrestling was even a thing outside of the movies. Fast forward to now, I'm a four year BJJ blue belt, and I plan on making grappling my life.
Helio Gracie presumably refused to fight Euclydes "Tatu" Hatem, because Tatu would not wear a gi. Tatu did fight the champion of the Gracie family at the time George Gracie and dominantly beat him. All grappling arts are awesome and learning each will definitely bring up anyone's game.
There was a lot of that back then. JJ competitors trying to convince the American or English wrestlers to wear a gi, or as the Westerners would call it, a "jacket". Many times they would have to agree to, Odd number rounds with a jacket, and even number rounds no jacket. It should be noted that the wrestlers had no problem with their opponents wearing what they wanted, they couldnt understand how their opponent could expect them to wear the gi however.
I have a background in Kung Fu and Judo. I have trained on and off for last six years with Raul Ramirez who teaches Catch Wrestling out of Culver City CA. Look up Raul. he's done an amazing job with Catch @ his Snake Pit school out of Culver City CA. on a side note; Judo Gene Le Bell trained under Karl Gotch and he often credits Karl as his Teacher in Pro Wrestling. Gene also credits Karl with teaching him the Double Wrist lock which later became known a the infamous Kimura technique. If I'm correct, I believe it was also Karl that taught the double wrist lock to Judoka Kimura who used it to defeat Helio Gracie.
Ive done judo and bjj for years but prefer judo more because it like catch wrestling with a gi it follows the same principals take down control anf finish
BJJ and Judo are the same. Over time, both evolved into sports, but-like anything-originated from a single source. All grappling has roots. All striking has roots. There’s a motto I live by: I respect all the arts. I respect all my opponents. And I respect myself.

I read about an expert in that art who beat the Gracies on their early days and was attacked by them in the street and injured for life as revenge. Apparently they got released from jail using their influences. Idk if that's true
Great video. It's sad as these younger generations have got into mma the knowledge of thier lineage has been greatly lost. 2 completely different styles of fighting.
When I was a kid, we called it rasslin or rough and tumble. My brothers and my friends used to practice in the back yard all the time. Stuff passed down from our fathers and grandfather's. Surprised a few people when I started training jujutsu. I guess there's only so many ways you can hyper extend a joint
I love me some "Catch-as-Catch-Can" grappling! However, in my advanced age, I find myself gravitating towards Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (Torrance, CA) due to the gentler, more leveraged-based techniques-especially because GJJ techniques were developed with the weaker, i.e., smaller man, females, kids vs a larger, stronger, more physically dominant man in mind. In my experience, Catch-style wrestling is harder, nay, nearly impossible for a weaker, less aggressive, less athletic, perhaps disabled person to become proficient at. Catch wrestling is for them young bucks, dudes that are oozing testosterone.
I am myself an older guy longing to explore bjj or catch wrestling. Discovered catch wrestling through a short film about Rufino Dos Santos describing his match against Carlos Gracie. The techniques of bjj probably suits me better, but the straightforwardness and raw side of catch wrestling is most appealing too.
In BJJ, if you're young and athletic, you will use those to your advantage in grappling. It's not different. When you grow older you have to change how you grapple. The same goes for Catch Wrestling. It is no less technical than BJJ, but many of its throws and submission techniques rely on weight and leverage so that even your grandmother could pull it off.
03:01 that’s my gym! Jay Sensei and Mikey! Btw, I don’t know if it’s just my gym, but our Nogi class trains quite a bit of catch wrestling techniques especially leg locks.
Fell in love with catch as it always seemed better suited for my body type and attributes. Oddly enough I think judo and old school Japanese jiujitsu mix a lot better with catch than bjj
Amazing video. The conditioning aspect point of this video is spot on. Infact I see no need to train BJJ when I want to do MMA because it's slow paced, doesn't incorporate punches or any strikes, and I now that we are playing the don't make a mistake game, you already lost. If one is not training to be maxxing their v02 max in extending their explosive power and composure control, then you are half assing it. And that's how I feel about just nearly every BJJ school I've seen. The technical locks don't just happen because you're a black belt. It takes practice of real grappling starting from a stand-up position. The neck crank rule I also did not know about, I thought that would be a standard lock or hold. It's the most basic and every middle school wreslters favorite move to hip toss and crank to their "north" as the BJJ would say. lolol.
I wish there was more catch wrestling! I can’t stand how little emphasis on Takedowns there is in Jiu-Jitsu. How are you gonna claim your the best grappling art if you cant force it to the ground.
Exactly! I have the same thoughts that's why I train freestyle wrestling on top on my BJJ routine. I also see this in MMA, where high level BJJ guys get their entire game completely shut down if they can't secure a takedown. Examples are Demian Maia, Brian Ortega (he normally has good boxing but when faced against a better striker i.e Holloway, he got shut down when he couldn't get the fight to the ground).
This depends on the school. Mine has a huge emphasis on Judo throws because my instructor is also a Judo black belt. In no gi class, we will do a lot of wrestling takedowns. Even in gi we will do wrestling
I think many wrestlers feel comfortable with Catch Wrestling. It feels like a natural progression. However, everyone is different and some Wrestlers love learning a complete new paradigm in BJJ. I am BJJ Black Belt and personally I don't feel comfortable with the BJJ culture, methods, traditions. I feel more comfortable with Catch Wrestlers.
Retired pro fighter with over 40ammy)pro fights and wrestler with over 300 matches. great video and break down I really enjoyed..I always considered myself a catch Wrestler even while training bjj cuz of my Style and approach to fighting.. balls to the wall the entire time and crush anything I get a hold and also break eyes sockets with elbows..Lmk if you want me to link a few of my fights and I'll do so.. New sub here and look forward to following and contributing.
I actually think the gi is a strength in terms of self defense. No gi is good for mma and obviously alot of ppl take off shits before they fight but alot dont and you still have pants.
Congratulations for the videos I like the quality you do, I hope you do videos in Spanish because the Spanish-speaking community likes to meet you with the excellent quality that tells the story of the fight and the catch can catch, thank you very much ... Greetings from Argentina
what exactly are the rules of catch? Ive seen people lose by pin but they also throw up submissions off their back. how does that work? imo this would be the best style of grappling to learn for mma, as they cant stay on their back for too long while also working and knowing how to defend submissions
Yeah you can only lose by submission or by pin. I agree it would be great for mma and would be easily picked up by a seasoned wrestler. Bjj leans pretty heavy into fighting from the guard which is good to know but overall less dynamic imo if that’s your only form of training.
The pin is two shoulders to the ground. That would be the case with a classic closed guard, or a half guard when they have under-hook, biceps to the face and your flattened out. However, as shown in some early footage you can technically sit or do anything as long as you are not pinned. BTW I recently started making videos again, your support is appreciated. 👊
Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Por favor subscríbete a DIDOS en Español, ya comencé a traducir los videos a Español. Voy a traducirlos todos poco a poco. Un gran saludo.
Hi, Brazilian Luta Livre is a Catch Wrestling based martial art. The two are technically very similar and IMO share the same structure but there are some differences, for example in Luta Livre you cannot win by Pin, whereas traditionally, in Catch Wrestling you can win by Submission or Pin. Thank you for watching!
The irony is that luta livre translate into Spanish as LUCHA LIBRE(ie pro wrestling). But then again pro wrestling EVOLVED from catch. Yet people look down at pro wrestling. Where did you think Sakabura, Ken Shamrock, etc learned their catch wrestling?! From pro wrestling.
I'm pretty sure there are please check the World Submission Wrestling Federation (Certified Academies), The Snake Pit USA website and Scientific Wrestling.
I am a BJJ practitioner and I also do both gi and no gi. I want to ask this question to catch wrestlers because I never did that. Do you think it is easier to transition from catch wrestling to Jiu jitsu or other way around it is easier to go form Jiu jitsu to wrestling? You forgot one bro. Sadly Jiu Jitsu is not an Olympic sport, Wrestling is. What is interesting is Judo is and it is in the same family tree as jiu jitsu but the only recognized Olympic sports are: Judo, Tae kwon do, Karate, and Wrestling.
Hi. Wrestling and Catch Wresting are different things even though Catch Wrestling is the father of Freestyle Wrestling, so being an Olympic sport is not a difference between C.W. and J.J because neither are Olympic sports. To answer your question, in my opinion, as a BJJ Black Belt, I see more and more BJJ black belts adopting Catch Wrestling philosophy, methods and technique as a way to expand their games. That's arguably what "modern BJJ" is doing, a lot of new concepts that are actually common in Catch Wrestling. I have also seen Wrestlers transitioning way easier to Catch Wrestling than to BJJ because it shares some of the core principles. Thanks for watching.
I understand. I'm also a BJJ black belt. There are some healthy Catch Wrestling lineages alive today. It's slowly growing so you might have the opportunity to do it in the future. In the mean time add wrestling to the mix. I just started making videos again, thanks for your support. 👊
I don't understand why BJJ schools banned certain submissions. In my small gym, anything is allowed. Any technique that forces your partner to tap while they resist, that's what we use.
Let's create the ultimate blend of everything. No holds barred matches, catch and BJJ techniques. Let's see what comes out on top! Submission grappling FTW.
Hi, thank you for commenting. Sadly there was only two limited edition rashguards and never came back. Right now we have a couple of limited edition things at Gotchfightwear.com Things rarely come back. I started making videos again every Monday, thanks for your support!
Recently the lines are merging. Traditional Catch Wrestling and Traditional Jiu Jitsu were fairly different. There are lines of Catch Wrestling that have evolved. There are styles of Catch Wrestling without the Pin (Like SCW or Luta Livre) that look a lot like modern No-Gi JJ. Now No-Gi Jiu Jitsu has also come a long way, as they incorporated wrestling, a lot more leglocks, cranks, granby rolls, etc.
@@DIDOS Thanks! I like to incorporate the catch in the no-gi but alot of my jitsu coaches don't teach us the effective mean stuff. Mean stuff is way more effective for the little guy.

What's the difference between Catch Wrestling Luta Livre?
Catch is like the dark side of grappling lol
Agree. I'm back to making videos, I appreciate your support.
I hope catch wrestling blows up again. It’s a much easier transition for a lot of grapplers who wrestled in high school
That's how I found myself here
I practice catch wrestling and actually grew up with that as my main martial art that I would focus on, one day my cousin had told me he had been training in a jiujitsu school for a few months and wanted to test his ability to grapple on me in a sparring match, since I was one of the only people in our family that actually trained in wrestling of any kind.

I believe a catch wrestler with equal experience as the jujitsu guy will win everytime
Thank you for your comment. 👊 I just started making videos again if you want to stop by.

1. Submissions
2. Strength & Conditioning
3. Takedowns
4. The Guard
5. Gi
Karl Gotch and Billy Robinson are legends.
I think I like the concept of this style where you just dont sit in your butt and wait for the opponent to approach. Aggresiveness is part of this style and I like that.
I agree.
Gotta love the violent art!!
I can't wait to eventually work some catch wrestling into my game. I fell in love with grappling as a kid playing with my friends, but my school didn't have wrestling nor did I even know high school wrestling was even a thing outside of the movies.

Nice! congrats man!
Great stuff. I never heard of high school wrestling when I was at school either, 1980/90s country Australia XD
I train 10th planet jj but my coach has a background in catch ive been more intrigued more and more as time goes by catch is so underappreciated
Awesome. I like 10th Planet. I started making videos again, I appreciate your support. 👊

It should be noted that the wrestlers had no problem with their opponents wearing what they wanted, they couldnt understand how their opponent could expect them to wear the gi however.
Gi's are irrational to fight in as they are not standard clothing so they are only encountered artificially in competition
Why not fight In everday athletic clothes to stimulate real situations much more accurately? A t-shirt and adidas shorts will do.
By far more likely to get into a fight wearing this setup than a Gi
hahaha @@rye-bread5236
Never heard of catch wrestling but now I'm very interested.
I have a background in Kung Fu and Judo. I have trained on and off for last six years with Raul Ramirez who teaches Catch Wrestling out of Culver City CA.

Which kung fu style?
Ive done judo and bjj for years but prefer judo more because it like catch wrestling with a gi it follows the same principals take down control anf finish
Bjj Comes from judo
BJJ and Judo are the same. Over time, both evolved into sports, but-like anything-originated from a single source. All grappling has roots. All striking has roots.
There’s a motto I live by:
I respect all the arts.
I respect all my opponents.
And I respect myself.
Yeah same, it focuses on explosive groundwork and discourages staying in the guard or rolling around without progress

I'm switching over from BJJ to Catch Wrestling after watching your videos! I thought BJJ was undisputed but this's some powerful stuff😄👍🏿👍🏿
Yes, I was thinking freestyle wrestling was the best...
I like the abundance of Lou Thesz footage here--cool!
Thank you for the resources!
I read about an expert in that art who beat the Gracies on their early days and was attacked by them in the street and injured for life as revenge. Apparently they got released from jail using their influences. Idk if that's true
I train MMA and this has really peaked my interest in catch wrestling
Having both would be best for self defense but catch would be more better in sport
My jiu jitsu school adds wrestling and judo into it weekly as it knows bjj is powerful but has its weaknesses
Catch wrestling would make some great UFC fighters, hope it rises
Im a purple belt BJJ, but my dream was to train Greco/catch wrestling.
Not much opportunities where I was born. Less where I live now.
Great video. It's sad as these younger generations have got into mma the knowledge of thier lineage has been greatly lost. 2 completely different styles of fighting.
Catch wrestling looks like it would be hard to practice into older age
It does require a lot of athleticism but I see old timers killing it on the mat all the time.
Nice to see a glimpse of Currant Jacob's, probably best CAC wrestler at the moment.
When I was a kid, we called it rasslin or rough and tumble. My brothers and my friends used to practice in the back yard all the time. Stuff passed down from our fathers and grandfather's.
Surprised a few people when I started training jujutsu. I guess there's only so many ways you can hyper extend a joint
Im suprised at the dislikes ,how could you not like this stuff .most of the stuff tought works .
Really the only difference is the name since the Gracie's learned their Jiu-Jitsu from a catch wrestler
Gene LeBell and Gokor have been mixing Catch Wresting, Judo and Jui-Jitsu for years.
🐐🐐 They are as good as it gets. 👊 I just started making videos again if you want to stop by.
Pro wrestling should go back to where they are trained in catch wrestling like in the old days.
Couldn't agree more. 👊 I just started making videos again if you want to stop by.
I love me some "Catch-as-Catch-Can" grappling! However, in my advanced age, I find myself gravitating towards Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (Torrance, CA) due to the gentler, more leveraged-based techniques-especially because GJJ techniques were developed with the weaker, i.e., smaller man, females, kids vs a larger, stronger, more physically dominant man in mind.

Not true, ever heard of sakuraba...he was able to defeat heavyweights but he was just 185 pounds
In BJJ, if you're young and athletic, you will use those to your advantage in grappling. It's not different. When you grow older you have to change how you grapple. The same goes for Catch Wrestling. It is no less technical than BJJ, but many of its throws and submission techniques rely on weight and leverage so that even your grandmother could pull it off.
man I wrestled 4 yes varsity n was captain then went into martial arts n I never heard of catch wrestling till past few days.
03:01 that’s my gym! Jay Sensei and Mikey! Btw, I don’t know if it’s just my gym, but our Nogi class trains quite a bit of catch wrestling techniques especially leg locks.
thank you for this informative video. I am also a beginner in submission wrestling.
Went on a Billy Robinson rabbit hole and really started to appreciate catch wrestling and was shocked to see how many moves BJJ has stolen.
BJJ Black belt here and so was I. I just started making videos again if you want to stop by.
Your videos have insanely high quality! They look like they are ripped straight from a big tv documentary :D
Thank you so much for your kind words. :)
Is catch wrestling just the same with luta livre?
It's cool how I got to see a lot of Sakuraba in your video. He was one of my favorite fighters growing up.
The Gracie were DEFEATED by a "Catch Wrestler" andnthey ended of jumping him, look it up!
Catch Wrestler the Antithesis to bjj
Catch is the fucken game! I’m so glad that I finally decided to look more into it
I agree, there are different options for different people, for some Catch Wrestling is precisely what they need.
Fell in love with catch as it always seemed better suited for my body type and attributes. Oddly enough I think judo and old school Japanese jiujitsu mix a lot better with catch than bjj

BJJ just combined judo and catch wrestling
Bill Robinson said bjj oulling guard is actually catch wrestlings leg and foot control
Awesome Video! 🙏🏻 happy to found that here 😊
Very nice
I'm a bjj guy. Catch scares the crap out of me.
What is the branch of sakuraba?
I really like what you're doing here. Keep it up.
Pain ..... in CACC one must have a full vocabulary of pain
Hey im a wrestler...which is the best for me??catch wrestlibg,luta livre or bjj

I love both. I also take techniques from Judo, Sambo, and Wrestling. I just care about what works.
I actually think the gi is a strength in terms of self defense. No gi is good for mma and obviously alot of ppl take off shits before they fight but alot dont and you still have pants.
Thank you for commenting. I'm back making videos, please check them out.
Catch is the KEY
Love this
Hi, I would love to know where I can find those old wrestling photos, thanks.
very good; thank you very much for the light in this subject!
Started in the gi, went to no gi and got more into leg locks then started wrestling lol always wondered what the true actual differences were
Im doing it up with cacc
Congratulations for the videos I like the quality you do, I hope you do videos in Spanish because the Spanish-speaking community likes to meet you with the excellent quality that tells the story of the fight and the catch can catch, thank you very much ... Greetings from Argentina
I’m new to this. What’s the difference between grappling and wrestling? Or is it the same?
Hi, sorry for the late reply. Grappling is commonly used when submissions are part of the mix. I'm back making videos, please check them out
2:38 yo hice esa llave una ves, es demasiado buena
what exactly are the rules of catch? Ive seen people lose by pin but they also throw up submissions off their back. how does that work? imo this would be the best style of grappling to learn for mma, as they cant stay on their back for too long while also working and knowing how to defend submissions
Yeah you can only lose by submission or by pin. I agree it would be great for mma and would be easily picked up by a seasoned wrestler. Bjj leans pretty heavy into fighting from the guard which is good to know but overall less dynamic imo if that’s your only form of training.
The pin is two shoulders to the ground. That would be the case with a classic closed guard, or a half guard when they have under-hook, biceps to the face and your flattened out. However, as shown in some early footage you can technically sit or do anything as long as you are not pinned. BTW I recently started making videos again, your support is appreciated. 👊
Estos videos de este csnal son una joya oro puro pero lastima que no tienen traduccion al español,, no entiendo ingles😢😢😢

Cuando harás la versión en español de este vídeo?
Very nice quality video!
Thank you man, I really appreciate your support. I started making videos again if you want to stop by. 👊
@@DIDOS awesome! Osú 🙏🏼🙌🏼
We have to rebuild catch wrestling around the world !
👊
Is Luta Livre the same as catch wrestling?
Hi, Brazilian Luta Livre is a Catch Wrestling based martial art. The two are technically very similar and IMO share the same structure but there are some differences, for example in Luta Livre you cannot win by Pin, whereas traditionally, in Catch Wrestling you can win by Submission or Pin. Thank you for watching!
The irony is that luta livre translate into Spanish as LUCHA LIBRE(ie pro wrestling). But then again pro wrestling EVOLVED from catch. Yet people look down at pro wrestling. Where did you think Sakabura, Ken Shamrock, etc learned their catch wrestling?! From pro wrestling.
Nice informative video. Subbed (No Pun).
🤣👊 I just started making videos again if you want to stop by.
Are there any catch wrestling or any wrestling schools in Los Angeles?
I'm pretty sure there are please check the World Submission Wrestling Federation (Certified Academies), The Snake Pit USA website and Scientific Wrestling.
beautiful video
Brazilian luta livre dad
I am a BJJ practitioner and I also do both gi and no gi. I want to ask this question to catch wrestlers because I never did that. Do you think it is easier to transition from catch wrestling to Jiu jitsu or other way around it is easier to go form Jiu jitsu to wrestling? You forgot one bro. Sadly Jiu Jitsu is not an Olympic sport, Wrestling is. What is interesting is Judo is and it is in the same family tree as jiu jitsu but the only recognized Olympic sports are: Judo, Tae kwon do, Karate, and Wrestling.
Hi. Wrestling and Catch Wresting are different things even though Catch Wrestling is the father of Freestyle Wrestling, so being an Olympic sport is not a difference between C.W. and J.J because neither are Olympic sports. To answer your question, in my opinion, as a BJJ Black Belt, I see more and more BJJ black belts adopting Catch Wrestling philosophy, methods and technique as a way to expand their games. That's arguably what "modern BJJ" is doing, a lot of new concepts that are actually common in Catch Wrestling. I have also seen Wrestlers transitioning way easier to Catch Wrestling than to BJJ because it shares some of the core principles. Thanks for watching.
I Love Grappling!
It's like you better become a black belt in BJJ before you learn Catch Wrestling....Catch Wrestling is tough
Great video
Great Vid!
También quisiera que este vídeo estuviera en español :(
Viva catch! I mean, Sakuraba, that really says it all.
Great! I liked that! =D
BJJ is robbing catch and not giving credit . Especially the no gi systems ,is submission wrestling .
I would love to learn catchwrestling but well bjj will have to to for now
I understand. I'm also a BJJ black belt. There are some healthy Catch Wrestling lineages alive today. It's slowly growing so you might have the opportunity to do it in the future. In the mean time add wrestling to the mix. I just started making videos again, thanks for your support. 👊
I don't understand why BJJ schools banned certain submissions. In my small gym, anything is allowed. Any technique that forces your partner to tap while they resist, that's what we use.
Please come back
I'm back brother, please check out the new videos. Every Monday. I truly appreciate your support!

Let's create the ultimate blend of everything. No holds barred matches, catch and BJJ techniques. Let's see what comes out on top! Submission grappling FTW.

Are the rash guards still on sale? I only see T-shirt’s in the description.
🙏🏽
Hi, thank you for commenting. Sadly there was only two limited edition rashguards and never came back. Right now we have a couple of limited edition things at Gotchfightwear.com Things rarely come back. I started making videos again every Monday, thanks for your support!
Thank you!
Thanks for your support! 👊 I just started making videos again if you want to stop by.
@@DIDOS Absolutely!
What's the difference between No-gi jiujitsu and catch wrestling?
Recently the lines are merging. Traditional Catch Wrestling and Traditional Jiu Jitsu were fairly different. There are lines of Catch Wrestling that have evolved. There are styles of Catch Wrestling without the Pin (Like SCW or Luta Livre) that look a lot like modern No-Gi JJ. Now No-Gi Jiu Jitsu has also come a long way, as they incorporated wrestling, a lot more leglocks, cranks, granby rolls, etc.
@@DIDOS Thanks! I like to incorporate the catch in the no-gi but alot of my jitsu coaches don't teach us the effective mean stuff. Mean stuff is way more effective for the little guy.
muy bueno , una lastima que no este en español
