Okay I'm not trying to troll or anything, but there is a guy in my BJJ class who uses these techniques and sometimes wins..... Only thing is, he said he's been wrestling all his life and whatnot, but he's also 190 pounds. He is literally the heaviest guy at my gym. If it weren't for the fact that he is just plain stronger than me (I'm only 145 pounds), I am positive I could beat him. I beat his 20 year old son that's 160 pounds, but its just him that I have a problem with
@SuperBrokenfoot Sometimes it can actually be easier to get stuff on bigger guys do to the fact they are usually slower, less flexible, and things like chokes tighten up easier so he may just be better than you and could potentially have an easier time if you were larger. It also could just be that his particular style is different than everyone else's and that simple uniqueness makes it difficult for you. Or it could just be he's much stronger. Lot's of possibilities.
@SuperBrokenfoot I actually prefer rolling with guys a little bigger than myself for that reason (not a LOT bigger of course). learn some leg lock chains and you may find an edge, most guys are suckers for that stuff and they work whether they are big or small (especially toe holds and straight ankle locks). Incidentally Paulson has great videos for that too.
@SuperBrokenfoot , jiu jitsu and "rolling" has nothing to do with weight or strength. If he is bigger than you and he beats you, then you’re just not as good as him. I get worked by higher level guys who weight much less than I do. The whole basis of jiu jitsu is being able to defeat a much larger opponent. That’s Helios whole perspective on why he developed the techniques he did.
@curtisb3000 Randy Couture kind of did in his last few fights as he embraced what it could offer. James Wilks is a Combat Submission Wrestler under Erik Paulson, and Matt Mitrione and Brock Lesnar have been using Catch for a bit. Maybe when Josh Barnett comes over from Strikeforce, that'd be really interesting.
@tansin9 similar but not the same. Catch Wrestling was an influence on Maeda who took part in many matches as a representative of Kano Jujitsu. He taught the Gracies Jujitsu which had influence from Catch Wrestling, as well as Boxing and Savate for the combatives part. I think Renzo Gracie mentions this in his book.
Great job demonstrating for us. Your style of teaching is excellent, and your moves are easy to maneuver. A fighter can improve 10 fold with your techniques.
why when i talk to people on the street about grappling,they never give wrestling any credit for submissions,locks,throws,chokes,or breaks.its alway it came from jiujitsu,or asia or brazil,wrestling is as old a combat art as anyother and know bjj borrowed alot from wrestling and judo
@bummercal because wrestling, or more specifically freestyle, greco-roman wrestling (the two most common types of wrestling practiced in the US) have no submissions. Catch wrestling is a submission based art, but not as well known. BJJ borrowed more from judo than wrestling. just saying lols
@toolfan92 Brazilian gay jitsu did not borrow anything from Judo. BJJ is not even JuJitsu, it's just diluted Judo...In the sport of Judo there are certain techniques that are illegal due to safety reason, but it does not mean that Judoka don't get to learn the techniques..The gracie are dishonorable and are guilty of plagiarism. Its sahmefull
@franciscoreatas11 i do get what you mean by BJJ "copying" from Judo. Let me put is this way, TKD and Muay Thai are both stand up striking arts, do practioners of each style learn the same techniques and kick the same way? TKD for eg, snapping kicks, chambered kicks, punches from hip (in kata), MT, full on roundhouse kicks, boxing guard and punching, same area of fighting (standup) but different focus on the various aspects.
B.S. Carlos went to a school and, learned from Maeda. Once you learn something, it's yours to do what you want with. When Maeda left, only a dork would think they should stop. They continued and, were right to call it jiujitsu and, not Judo, since Judo is a philosophy and, way of life, not just a collection of techniques. Jujitsu is about the techniques and, since what they learned came from Japan, they were telling you where it came from. They just put their imprint on it.
Catch wrestling is underrated. I didn't even really know what it was until I saw Josh Barnett doing a bunch of odd moves in a match against Bret Rogers. I was like, "What the heck is that?" It looked awesome. Man, was it ever effective. Then I heard the announcer say that Barnett practiced "catch wrestling". The more I study catch wrestling, the more I realize it has a rich history. It really is interesting. It should be practiced more. Expert catch wrestlers are very difficult to beat.
I'm sorry, but maybe I need to be put into submissions like these by pros, cause when people try to put these kind of annoying submissions ( I say annoying cause it hurts, but not enough for me to suffer serious injuries, just enough to piss me off) I just get pissed and start over powering and dominating. Even though I'm taught not to do that (BJJ) haha, I'm not bashing on catch wrestling, but I just don't see a reason to tap from its submissions. Can anyone explain in depth?
@SuperBrokenfoot If they are just annoying to you then the technique is not being done correctly. Finding real catch wrestlers who know their stuff is hard to find.
Strange how the uk ent better at wrestling being as Catch Wrestling originated there ? Josh Barnett trains Catch Wrestling and often points out in videos that its origins are in England
@EBTerriers but the gracie family just pointed out that england while great at standup fighting are severly behind in grappling. and ufc president pretty much cosigned on the statement
@cangrejeraub I dont think you got my point ? I said ent it Strange that the uk ent better at wrestling being as Catch Wrestling originated there ...you would think being that they invented it they would practice it more ..but they don t .
@pedro90 I don't see why not. The reverse arm-triangle is I think sometimes known as a 'Howdy' in BJJ. When you wrap the arm you could always grab inside the back of their collar I guess? Play around with it and let us know :)
@MDAC1012 I don't mean to come of like that, but depending on your opponents arms, is that really a reliable method? Reason why I ask is we tried this the other day at our open mat, and it did work to a certain extent with the guys with bigger arms. But a lot of skinny guys couldn't pull it off. Even the guys who were bigger, had problems sometimes, cuz the guy beneath just wiggles his chin to find a position where he can breath through his mouth.
@TheBoyIllz I didn't think you were coming off any particular way. You had a fair question and I was only responding based on my limited understanding of the technique. No problems.
@TheBoyIllz If you can get their own arm to go under their chin and lock the position in tight, you can use that to force their jaw shut. It doesn't completely cut off the airflow but it can restrict it considerably. Also once you have a tight grip, walk the hand of the arm that's under-hooking his head across the mat until you're bending his body. This puts him in an unnatural position collapsing one side of his chest making it even harder to breathe.
Erik's got a book out on catch wrestling history that he's selling on his website. Rough and Tumble it's called. Very good. Not a whole lot of technique but a whole history of grappling.
Catch wrestling always hurts, it´s not like amateur wrestling. They beat u from head to toe.. I did it twice, and no more. Every position change he would hurt me. I respect anyone who could that.
I often get into that head/neck crank from the mount. (after the keylock/americana/Vlock)...Can I dismount like I am transitioning to side control, but hook the leg on the way over to end up with that same submission?? Any thoughts or feedback?? If there is any footage out there showing something like this would appreciate a point in the right direction.
@stuartmoran69 I think that might be a round about way of doing it. It'd be better / easier to go from mount to side control first, then hook the leg. You also have to be careful they don't regain half-guard either.
This is coming from someone who does jiu jtisu primarily, but Erik Paulson has got to be the best player in catch wrestling. Or at least DAMN close...
@jtbullfitghter Your right! We should all start "teaching" new material to our students aganist fully resistant uki's.. I am sure the students will learn faster with your method! LOL
Paulson is a genius and CSW might be one of the best kept secrets out there. I would LOVE to be able to train there, and I train with 3X Mundial Black Belt champ now!
Catch wrestling is so very beautiful and extremely effective when done well with competency and spirit, the seamless transitions and flow demonstrated here make one incredibly hard to beat on the ground, and reflect well in the stand up game too.
@SmyDMF1 No, this is real catch-as-catch-can wrestling, if by 'wrestling' you mean WWE or TNA style works, that style is an only-for-show version of catch wrestling, which is a root martial art and is very, very real. Watch the above video, if those holds were applied in a real wrestling ring where pinfalls counted as a scoring condition, few WWE or TNA performers would know how to escape them and would instantly be defeated.
@SmyDMF1 Oh, High School wrestling...I'm afraid I don't know, but I wouldn't try any real Catch wrestling techniques in amateur wrestling, that would be too dangerous.
@berner Submission Wrestling is a fairly generic term, and can be made up of multiple grappling arts. It tends to be used for 'no gi' competitions and can have judokas, wrestlers, samboists, BJJ etc taking part. Catch developed as a style in the North of England (Catch As Catch Can, from Lancashire) and spread to North America, throughout Europe, and into Japan. It's the grandfather of amateur folkstyle wrestling and (for better or worse) Pro Wrestling.
@Svittidiu thats not a very informed thing to say. BJJ is very very similar to this. after all, the body can only move and lock out into so many positions. so logically this and many other grappling styles will have moves that look almost identical. The street effectiveness will depend on the application, not the style.
THIS IS GREAT!!! i will definitely be working on this...i dont like any one discipline over another...if it works i take it and use...GREAT VID...Thanx!!
this go back to the days of ed the strangler lewis . if the shooters were alive today( bill robinson stu hart lou thesz etc) they would had no problem against today fighters
@superschmuck he is? my bad bro. did you read ric flairs book. he said in his book that most wrestlers hated bill robinson's guts cause he would fuck em up. he even hooked the iron sheik when he was verne gagne trainee.he got him on his back while hooking and fucking his shoulder up.

@TheCorruptGFx No it's not, but it would be pretty funny if you started smashing subs on the next time you're on the mat.

Paulson is a genius and CSW might be one of the best kept secrets out there. I would LOVE to be able to train there, and I train with 3X Mundial Black Belt champ now!

Catch wrestling is so very beautiful and extremely effective when done well with competency and spirit, the seamless transitions and flow demonstrated here make one incredibly hard to beat on the ground, and reflect well in the stand up game too.

are these moves llegal in wrestling???
SmyDMF1 1 year ago
@SmyDMF1 No, this is real catch-as-catch-can wrestling, if by 'wrestling' you mean WWE or TNA style works, that style is an only-for-show version of catch wrestling, which is a root martial art and is very, very real. Watch the above video, if those holds were applied in a real wrestling ring where pinfalls counted as a scoring condition, few WWE or TNA performers would know how to escape them and would instantly be defeated.

@Zeus184 i mean in high school wrestling is that llegal?
SmyDMF1 1 year ago
@SmyDMF1 Oh, High School wrestling...I'm afraid I don't know, but I wouldn't try any real Catch wrestling techniques in amateur wrestling, that would be too dangerous.

Damn, that's some good stuff right there.
Is there a difference between Catch and Submission wrestling, or are they both the same thing but some people just call it one or the other?
berner 1 year ago
@berner Submission Wrestling is a fairly generic term, and can be made up of multiple grappling arts. It tends to be used for 'no gi' competitions and can have judokas, wrestlers, samboists, BJJ etc taking part. Catch developed as a style in the North of England (Catch As Catch Can, from Lancashire) and spread to North America, throughout Europe, and into Japan. It's the grandfather of amateur folkstyle wrestling and (for better or worse) Pro Wrestling.

Much more useful on the streets than BJJ.
Svittidiu 1 year ago
@Svittidiu thats not a very informed thing to say. BJJ is very very similar to this. after all, the body can only move and lock out into so many positions. so logically this and many other grappling styles will have moves that look almost identical. The street effectiveness will depend on the application, not the style.
