Tony Cecchine's American Catch Wrestling: Hooks vs. Submission Holds (top wrist lock / "key lock")

From the 12-DVD series, Snap, No Tap! comes this demonstration of the catch wrestling top wrist lock "hook," as well as a brief description of the differences between concession holds / submission holds and the kind of maneuvers American catch refers to as "hooks."

In short, a hook is a tighter and more severe version of a concession hold, and it designed to break or maim without giving an "opponent" recourse to concession. These aren't the kinds of working holds one might find in, say, pro wrestling contests.

Hooks can be adapted to sport; but their primary function is self defense -- whether on the street or in the ring against someone who shoots with bad intent.

Which dvd # ? There are a few different ones.

@JFDF69 Groundfighting. Of course, the instruction works best as a set. Some of the stuff we show on the feet is used later on the ground.

Love Tony's stuff. My Bjj partners are always asking me where I learned from. I lways give Mr. C credit. His stuff is made for the streets and can be modified for games. BTW which dvd is this segment from? Paulsons NeckBreakers is also a great piece of work.

@JFDF69 From Snap, No Tap.

You can order through Tony's site or through Paladin Press.

Lol I like it how every single time Tony is about to apply something he is apologising.

[berniemac18]

hooking is for self defence purposes. on the street. bjj is good also, but cacc applies science to break the criminal. not just armbar him

[TheSHAWNFERNANDO]

omg dont use that move u could get someone pregnent

[puffykilled2pac]

I wish Tony would have fought in the UFC when it first started. Would have been awesome

[Thomachesankara]

@odessaboy You have to understand that bjj and cacc are not the same. How the dwl is taught in jiu jitsu is different from how it is taught in catch wrestling. How Tony showed the improper tec at the beginning of the video is how bjj instructors learned it and teach it.

[Gundoggak47]

wow, that art is deadly!

[Mddoelman]

Yeh! Definite no no! You're not allowed to do this in freestyle. At all.

[koalicija1]

animal....

[thehim34]

would i get called for that for jr.high freestlye wrestling

[TheDeshi100]

@alexpapyz31 Tony I believe is doing that on this video.

[TheDeshi100]

@odessaboy Actually his logic is correct. He is not talking about the speed of the technique but how the technique is done.

In addition Mr. Billy Robinson is a Master at teaching Catch. He is a rare breed. He effectively successfully trained Sakuraba. U know where I'm heading with mentioning Sakuraba. Catch is proven to be very effective. Many finishing holds in Bjj and Judo are due to Catch. Says a lot about the style.
